MRS. PAGE PRESIDENT
Grand Forks Women Organize a Votes
for Women League-Interestins
Addresses.

Grand Forks Herald: The Grand
Forks chapter of the Votes for Wom-
en- club, was formally organized last
e sning with the election of officers
and following an interesting meeting
held last evening in the large council
chamber of the city hall. The mass
meeting was we'll attended, nearly ev-
cry scat in the chamber being taken.
Outside of the election of officers and
the signing up of members for the
club, there was not further business
transacted.
The meeting was largely given over
to a number of excellent addresses or
the subject of woman suffrage. most
of the speakers stating why in their
opinion women should have equal
suffrage with men. Among those who
addressed the meeting were Mrs. r..
M. Pollock of Fargo. Mrs. Jean Nc
Naughton Stevens of Towner, Mayor
M. F. Murphy, Dean Joseph Kennedy,
DR.. j. M. Gillette and F. s. Burchard.
Mr.. Burchard's talk was of special
interest in view of the fact that he
was able to speak as a former citizen
of Wyoming, one of the states of the
union that has suffrage. Mr..
Burchard spoke heartily in. favor of
equal suffrage, and characterized as
vicious and untrue, published reports
in magazines in an effort to show that
woman suffrage has proven a failure.
He declared that equal suffrage has
raised the moral tone OF the entire
state, it has cleared up the polling
places and has worked out reforms
that mean much to the growth and de-
velopment of the race.
Dean Kennedy made the rather in
teresting statement that there are at
the present time about 5000 school
teachers in North Dakota. 1000 of
whom are ONE 81 years of age or
over. These women are required to
teach civil government, to instruct
the boys how to vote when they reach
manhood, but not one of the teachers
can herc2lf exercise the right of suf-
frage.
There was plenty of enthusiasm at
the meeting and adjournment was
taken to meet again at the call of the
president. Following adjournment pc
titions to the national congress asking
that the national body submit the
question of equal suffrage as a con-
amendr ent to the various
Officers were chosen as follows:
President-Mrs. Alice Nelson. Page,
Vice President-Dr. Mae Sanders.
Secretary-Miss Bertha Ferguson.
Treasurer-Miss Mary e. Macumber.
