ORGANIZE FOR THE FIGHT

An enthusiastic meeting of repre-

Guiding delegates from Topeka, the
country around town, and the small
towns of the county, was held Tues
day afternoon in the Y. w. c. A.

auxiliary society, the counties organ
lied by townships, the cities, the wards
and the voting precinct, all to be or
ganized with officers and working
force. Mrs. Johnston prefaced her
remarks with brief review of the
advancement already made in the pro-
gress of women toward the attainment
of political liberty, and the part that
suffrage workers had taken in it.
In 1867 women first presented an
amendment to the legislature, asking
for the enfranchisement of the negro
and of women. The negro fought the
cause of women's suffrage then. be-
cause he thought it detracted from
the strength of his appeal for en-
Establishment. and the amendment
was lost Later the national govern
ment gave the vote to the negro.
Eighteen years ago a second amend
ment was lost because the women
were affiliated with a political party
but in the present campaign there

the educational committee, outlined
the work of her department. "Edu-

your family, and your bringing up
would want to do some more stimulat-

a lot of little plots in it. Every house
I visit is a chapter. There's Mrs. Mar

She always has something to tell me
about what they're doing. And then
there's Mrs. Whittemore, that little
