that if the brute had been in the hall he would have had

in your convention enough to convert any man. I
believe every woman in the world should be allowed
to vote at least twice every question that up
This would enable her to vote on both sides of ques

head hard possible: The thing for the
to do is to smooth down her hubby's rufed fur-at
