FOR EQUAL FRANCHISE.
Meeting OF Interest at Woman Suffrage
Headquarters in Claude Apart
ments State Circle-0pening
of Campaign.

More than usual interest was mani
fest last evening in the first meeting
of a series to be held in the interest
of Woman Suffrage at their head
quarters on State Circle in the Claude
Apartments.
First of all tae headquarters are
cozy, comfortable, homelike and
show the touch of a woman's hand,
and are not at all mannish or clublike.
Even a work-basket, suggestive of
a swoman's presence, rested on the
table around which those present were
assembled. Some peoples idea of
Woman Suffrage is mannish women,
who want to wear boomers, coats and
hats like men and to ape their broth
ers and husbands and abandon the
gentleness of their sex.
This is an erroneous idea. Woman
Suffrage means the right Of women to
cast ballot, equal suffrage with the
men; say in governmental affairs TO
be members of school boards, aims
house boards, Jail boards and House
of Correction boards, and have an in
terest in governmental affairs by the
right of franchise which is now de-
MED them.
Woman Suffrage as set forth at last
nights meeting is the fight for what
our forefathers fought for-taxation
with representation, for without it
there is tyranny; consent Of govern
ing by the governed. The time has
come when it is proved men cannot
govern successfully and why not
permit the women a controlling in
teIest.
The keynote of the meeting was for
universal suffrage. The meeting was
presided over by Mrs. Emma Funck.
who made many strong points in ia
vor of equal suffrage. Miss Maddox
spoke convincinglv and presented sew
eral points in favor of women having
equal suffrage with men, and on the
same terms. Miss Maddox is opposed
to the qualification of tax-paying in
the suffrage bill, and the educational
qualification, both of which she thinks
unatI ainable for reasons set forth in
her forceful, persuasive and convinc-
ing remarks. She wants a bill that
asks for suffrage for women because
they have a right to it.
Mrs. Foster made few remarks, and
there was general discussion of the
question of suffrage. Several gentle
men were present and much interest
was manifested.
1t is proposed to have these meet
ings frequently and to hold a reception
every Monday afternoon in the Wo-
man Suffrage headquarters in the
Claude Apartments, to all Of which
the public is cordially invited
