at night for weeks past, they were up
betimeS this morning to rejoice over
their victory. The officers of the club
We're out all day yesterday for a last
word to the men who came to vote.
They went from one voting place to
another, and where workers We're
scarce, they handed out literature and
spoke to the voters until they could
get help from the women of the pre-
cinct. They were obliged to have a
rush order of printing done as their
supply of papers was exhausted before
the voting was done. Every man show
ed the workers the utmost courtesy,
whether he gave mis- word to vote for
it or not The rain came and kept the
women stranded at the voting places,
and some of them went without meals
to be on hand when they were needed.

tory for they earned it over and over
again.
