The plan to enlist Cupid into the
ranks as an ally was originated by a
half dozen tlmid members. who, after
several conferences, persuaded Mrs.
Comerford to launch the movement
and recruit the membership to 500
before the beginning of September.

those who are in earnest In this cam

his suit That, we believe, is one of
the strong points in our campaign.
Political economy will be another
feature. We intend to take up all
the problems just as men do, and
there will be debates and discussions
at our regular meetings. 1t may be
that these will eventually work them
selves into public meetings and will
be one of the factors in suffragists'
work In Spokane and throughout the
state of Washington.
I'VE have practically all the suffra-
gists in Spokane lined up In the work,
and 1t may be we shall extend the
campaign throughout other parts of
the country, and in this we believe we

has yet been devised.

Miss Mary Jameson declared that
members of the club are "just con-
ceited enough to believe they can ex-
ert more influence over the man than
their married sisters do.
IF the men really think anything
OF us-that Is, enough to make It in
teresting." she added. "why they will
grant our request without much argu-
ment.'
