in reaching Freeport yesterday after
noon as the result of making an i'm
scheduled stop at Pecatonica, where
an Interested gathering of villagers
and country folk heard short addresses
by DR.. Anna Blount and Mrs. Gather

they were holding the attention of a
fair sized audience at Second ward
park.
Mrs. McCulloch briefly outlined the
purpose of the tour and explained that
suffragists were not working so much
for woman suffrage as they were for
clean, honest government That at
tanned, she said, the cause of woman
suffrage would win as a natural con-
sequence.
Legislators Are Raped.
Mrs McCulloch raped members of
the Legislature from this district, say
ing all of them were against the suff
rage bill presented in the Illinois as
sembly, but that the women of the dis
trict would devote their energy from
now on to bringing about the election
of legislators who would favor woman
suffrage. She took an especially hard
rap at Representative Dillon of Ga

rage bill in the last legislature.
Il do not know" said Mrs. McCul-
loch, whether or not he was paid 10

not passed. but whether he took
money or not he was guilty of a far
greater crime than accepting a bribe.

Illinois the franchise of voting. Dill

DR. Blount deplored the fact that

that he favored suffrage for women,
should be represented by legislators
who opposed giving the ballot to
women.
