cessful fight to lobby the Suffrage
bill through the last legislature.

chautauQua this afternoon as the
principal speaker on .woman's
Day but, instead of talking
about votes for women" she de-
voted her time to talking about the
men for whom women wanted TO vote.
And the lawmakers at Sacramento
were her object lesson.
Mrs Coffin particularly stigmatized
the subsidized press and offered as a
remedy a systematic campaign on the
part OF honest people to discourage
the 'boughten" newspapers and drive
them into respectable methods

Mrs. Coffin spoke with some heat OF
the conditions which she encountered
in Sacramento last winter. She said
that the pressure On the lawmakers
was something almost impossible to
resist, and she lamented that so many

TO be easily corrupted"
To the San Francisco delegation she
paid her respects In no uncertain Ian
guage. They were the laughing stock
OF the legislature" she said.
