For q radius Of forty-fve miles in

held in Minneapolis by the suffraglsts
in the fall Of 1901 in the First Baptist
church, and there are few people who
will ever forget the fine, white haired
speaker Of those days. Mrs. g a.
Stockwell, state president OF the Mime
sofa Suffrage association, attended the
national convention in Baltimore last
month. At that time Miss Anthony
showed signs Of failing health and was
able to speak, at but few Of the sessions.
However, she held the platform few
days later in the Church Of Our Father,
Washington, D. G., where an anniyer :.
