The Man whom They Quote Says He
Has Been misrepresentation
Not Do Away with Woman Suf-
frage If He Could.
| The Anti-Suffragists must be hard
up indeed for proof that woman suf-
frage has been a failure in Colorado,
when they resort to such means as
! they evidently did at the Congress
ional hearing recently held in Wash
! ington, when they read letter pur-
! porting to be against woman suffrage
from Hon. Ralph Talbot, ex-member
of the Fire and Police Boards of Den
| yer. When interviewed in regard to
the letter Mr.. Talbot made the follow
ing statement:
IT am glad you mention the matter,
because l wish to correct misunder-
standing about it. I have never OPP
! posed woman suffrage. I did not
know the question was to be argued
before a Congressional committee in
Washington or elsewhere. wrote to
! no one in Washington or elsewhere.
My connection with this discussion
arises from a letter written to the
present superintendent of Public In
structions of Colorado in June, 1898.
A copy of this letter was given by me
several weeks ago to gentleman
friend of mine who knew that I had
once written such a letter. He sent
it to Washington City. / did not
know how he proposed to use it. The
letter, however, contains no such ex-
pressions as scarlet women" or 'bal-
lot-box stufing." 1t made no refiec-
ton upon woman suffrage as pro-
position of right or justice, or at all.

interpreted and my attitude misund-

men might vote in Colorado. In pub
lie addresses throughout the State I
had urged the amendment giving all
women the right to VOTE Nothing
was further from my mind than to
undo the legislation. I thought then,
as / think now, that the weight of ar
gument is all upon the side of woman
suffrage and in my letter to Mrs.
Grenfell I said so. also gave my
testimony to it's good results in the
country and in the smaller towns of
the State.
'In common with many others,
have watched with keen interest the
effect upon the tone of public morals
which this enlargement of the right
of suffrage might have.
II am not hostile to woman suf-
frage now, nor have I ever been; on
the contrary, I would not change the
suffrage if had it in my power to do
so.

Another Anti-SufYrage Canard.

Mrs. A. Emmagene Paul, superin-
tendent of street cleaning in the First
ward of Chicago, was one of the
speakers at the National Suffrage
convention in Washington and gave
an interesting account of her work
Since then an alleged interview with
her has appeared in the New York
Times, in which Mrs. Paul is made to
say that she was opposed to women's
voting" This was surprise to her
friends who knew that she favored
equal suffrage. A letter of enquiry
addressed to Mrs. Paul brings the fol-
lowing reply:
Dear Madam: I did not see the
interview to which you refer, but l
did see quotation from it. I was
amazed, for it was absolutely false in
every respect. In the first place, l
had no such interview with anyone;
in the next place, could not have ex-
pressed such views, for / never enter
tanned them. / did say 1 was one wo-
man who had benefited by Miss An
thongs work, and / felt ashamed at
how little I had realized or apprecia-
ted the fact, and how little l had done
in return. / came home resolved to
make up for lost or sighted opportun-
tiles.
81 do know ward politics. and
do know that if women can purify
and improve ward politics as they
have ward or municipal work, in
which they have practically interested
themselves. the sooner they can have
a part in them the better.
81 regret this misunderstanding of
my views, and I thank you for ad-
dressing me directly and giving me an
opportunity to declare myself. With
best wishes for your success, I am
cordially yours,

Automobile Costumes.

In the park and on the roads lead

vere- her-defying costumes piped
with leather and more ornate dresses
for fair days have suddenly become
plentiful.
A checked homespun toilet in blue
and gray, displayed by d lady who has
steered her own gasoline carriage all
winter, has attracted attention on its
every appearance. Small, close.set
buttons fasten its short coat so snugly
as to leave no opening at the throat,
the better to direct admiration to its
bright leather cuffs and collar and the
rolls OF leather inserted in the seams.
Narrow panels of leather appear on
the front OF its skirt, and on these are
buckled leather pockets, small and
smart aud most deliciously absurd in
their affectation of practicality.
