Mrs. La Toilette Makes First Outdoor Speech
Ia 81 -
Tells Local Voters Why She Is Suffragist
Believes Women's Votes Will UpIift Government

Of them heretofore opposing the
movement now announce themselves
as supporting it. I now have the
pleasure of introducing to Umatilla
county residents the wife of Senator
La Toilette of Wisconsin"
Mrs. La Toilette said:'
This is my first experience in
speaking to an outdoor audience
haven't the least idea whether you
can hear me or not-Can you?"
Yes" came the answer from the
crowd.
Il am not public speaker; | love
to talk; l love get a little group of
women together and talk out this suf-
frage question informally, but to ad-
dress as large an audience as this
seems more formidable However,
your women here have asked it and
am g.ad 10 talk to you in the same
informal way that / would to a small
er group.
THE one great question always in
the home. Woman's place is in the
home; / believe in the home. 1 am a
real home body. There isn't a woman
in America who treasures all the SEN
tim ents and associations of the home
more than 1 do and most every one
who believes in suffrage has one par
amount reason for it,
Now, 1 am going to tell you my
paramount reason; it is because do
believe in the home that I believe in
woman suffrage; histories, civiliza-
tons, experiences all show that the
happiest homes are where men and
women keep together spiritually and
intellectually. When one gets far
ahead of the other, when they get

Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, pro-
gressive candidate for the republi-
can nomination for president, arriv-
ed in Pendleton early this morning
direct from the east and, after rest
ing in his room at the Hotel Pendle-
ton until 1880 came down into the
Lobby and until lunch time held d
reception. meeting many local citi-
zens and conversing informally upon
the subject nearest his heart. La Fol-
lette is a short man and this fact oc-
casioned much surprise among those
who had never before seen him bu;
they forgot his stature in the big
ness OF his mind after hearing him
talk for a few minutes.
One of the first to greet the dis
tinguished visitor as he came down
the stairs from his room was Judge
w. r. Ellis, who as congressman
became we'll acquainted with him
They conversed together for severa
moments before Thomas McCusker
his oregon manager, motioned the
crowd which had gathered, to ap.
proach and meet the senator.
La Toilette was most affable as
he shook the hands of the local citi-
zens and had a few words with each
one he met. making all feel that hi
took personal enjoyment in TIL,
meeting.
"Paulson," he said as he shook
the hand of p. A. Paulsen, who stop.
ped off here enroute TO Baker coun-
ty, in order to hear the senator
THAT sounds like n good Norwegian
name and l want to tell you that in
my state the Norwegians are the mos
progressive citizens we have"
"A democrat" he exclaimed
laughingly as he grasped the hand OF
a well known follower of Bryan
well there are 10000 good democrat.

Senator La Toilette said:

Senator La Toilette said:
Judge Lowell Fellow Citizens,
Ladies and Genelemen:"
1T gives me more pleasure than
l can find words to express to have
the opportunity to stand before you
here in this splendid city of Oregon
and speak to you today about our
country, its perils and it's needs. L
am glad to have been presented by
man who is known throughout your
state to stand for everything that
makes for democracy and equality
among men and women.
when our fathers gave us this
government, they intended that it
should be government where all
men and women and children should
have equal opportunities. They fought
and starved and froze for seven years
TO win that government for us, and
some decades later when its life was
put in peril, our fathers and our
brothers went out and sacrificed ev-
erything that the human heart holds
dear to keep that government undi-
vided upon the may of the world
A new ana mighty power has ariS-
en- in this country and seriouse mind
ed men-profound students of gov
ernment-are asking themselves
whether it is to take possession
whether it is to dominate, for one L
am unwilling to believe that ninety
million free born American citizens
will surrender their birth right to any
power on earth. (Applause.l
"And 1 tell you now, that no time
since our fathers achieved independ-
ence, at no hour in our history has
there been power that would put
to the supreme test, the courage, the
persistency and the spirit of self
sacrifice stronger than that which
now assails our liberties; no govern
ment is free when its industrial and
commercial enterprises are in bond

BRITISH WOMEN MAY
BE GIVEN BALLOT
Suffragettes Plan Another
Demonstration For
Sunday

London. April 13-The suffragettes
are busy organizing new campaign
to be waged in connection with the
general franchise reform measure,
aiming to correct many evils of the
British electoral system, particularly
the plural voting whereby man may
cast as many ballots as there are con-
stituencies in which he holds prop
erty.
Although personally opposed to
women suffrage, Premier Asquith has
promised if the commons wishes to
amend this bill. so as to include wo-
men suffrage. he will not interpose
party objections

Upon the earnest request of the To-
cal equal suffrage organization. Mrs.
La Toilette, wife of the presidential
candidate, consented to preface her
husbands address this afternoon with
a short talk on suffrage and she was
enthusiastically received when pre-
sented to the great crowd that had
assembled in front of the city hall
The points she made were telling ones
and many hardshell opponents to the
granting of the ballot to women We're
made to see the question from a diff
ferent angle as the result of her brief
argument.
Mrs. La Toilette is an exceptional
woman just as her husband is an ex-
ceptional man and the audience felt
it as she talked. She is country bred,
university trained and herself illus
trates the ability of woman to take
her place by the side or man. She is
a student of law-has been admitted
to practice in Wisconsin and one of
her briefs was declared by the su-
preme court of that state to be am
ong the best ever presented to that
body.
Mrs. La Toilette was introduced by
Judge Stephen a. Lowell and in doing
so he said
