The women of Calumet and Lauriuin

woman suffrage is submitted TO the
voters of Michigan at the November
election. They are already organizing

of ''woman's rights" in Houghton and
Keweenaw counties and will begin
work Immediately.
The Laurium Equal Rights League
met last evening at the home OF Mrs
John Palmer, president OF the league
and discussed various phases of the
situation. There were about thirty
ladies present, all of whom took an ac-
tive part in the meeting, and as a first
step, II was decided to make an effort

II was decided last evening to make
an effort to prevail upon the English
ladies of Calumet and Laurium TO or

realize that without united action they
