kate Williamson for congreSs.
 That is the battlecry of the women of Colorado.
 because of its increase in population is entitled to another representative in the national house the women of that state have declared that one of their number shall be the new member.
 The movement was launched in Den Ter. and the women did not have far to look for a candidate. Colorado is one of the few states that place men and women upon an equality in tine matter of voting. Equal suffrage. according to the women. is doing the state vast amount of good. incidentally 1t Is bringing into prominence several wom- en. some of whom are now holding elective offices. Colorado rolls up . large woman's vote. and the women are keeniy alive to their opportunities So when it became a matter of certain ty that the state would soon be per mitted to increase it's congressional representation the ciubwomen of the capital city got busy and finally de cided to make a united effort to cap ture the office for one of their own sex.
 And the choice has fallen On Kath- e.ine Williamson.

Her age is-well. she looks to be about thirryseveD- certainly not more than forty years She Is of medium height. possesses striking figure and pleasing features. and her eyes play a strong accompani- ment to her expressed thoughts She Is a natural leader among women and has the happy faculty of naaking new friends as well as keeping the old She has decided opinions of her own and fearicssiy expresses them At the same time she never permits herself to snow anger because others cannot share her beliefs. Perhaps that Is one of the reasons she has come into such proml- hence among the men and women of the state and plnced her among the leaders in the women's clubs and caus- ed politicians to seek her counsel on more than one occasion
 At a public discussion short time ago Mrs Williamson was asked by one of the male speakers why women persisted in trying to secure universal equal suffrage
