POLITICAL EQUALITY CLUB.
Reports From the National AIee,,ne
Presented.

The Political Equality Club held its
last meeting for the year at the home of
Mrs. William 1ngledue. on West State
street, Thursday evening. a very pleas.
ant evening was had, many things of in
terest being reported by Miss Moffatt
and Mrs. Huffaker from the national
meeting recently held in Minneapolis.
The large sum realized from the New
York bazaar was turned over to the eN-
ecutiye committee TO be used as seemed
best. Miss Gordon, Of Louisiana famed
for having voted at a town election 500
times in one day. She was voting by
proxy for property-holding women (t is
said to be the biggest deal in voting ever
on record). was elected to succeed Mrs.
Rachel Foster Avery as corresponding
secretary. A thousand dollars was voted
as a present to Mrs. Avery, who has
served as corresponding secretary for
fifteen years.
Mrs. Gait was elected president by all
informal ballot. There were only seven
votes against her in the whole Of that
large assembly. Perhaps 1t will be Of
interest to many to know what was the
occasion that first aroused Mrs. Cats
interest in her present work for women.
She was in California. San Francisco or
Sacramento. and having just been left q
widow without a dollar was earning her
support as a journalist, when she was
esked for her virtue by a lawyer to
whose office she had occasion to so, and
then and there her resolve was taken to
do life work for working women. She
has the honor of having been the first
woman journalist In the state of Califor-
MIA.
Three daughters of Cassius NJ. Clay,
of Kentucky, were in attendance at the
convention.
Only one other change. other than
mentioned. was made in the executive
officers, that in one of the auditors.
Minneapolis was lavish in her enter
tainment. free phones and free tele-
graphs being furnished. the entertain
lnent, including three meals a day, was
furnished delegates and some visitors.
Even a postoff1ce was maintainedin the
church.
The convention felt that It was
closing very successful year and was
thoroughly enthusiastic for the future
work 1t was Mrs. Huffaker's first ma
tional convention in this line of work
end she feels that 1t was an inspiration
that will last her thru life. OF course
Susan b. Anthony was the center Of
great attractions.
For the next years work the president
(Mrs Hutfaker) appointed as program
committee DR.. Townsend, Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Brock The club was then adj
tourned to meet again in September.
