.Irs. Hutton is a figure I'm the suffrage
belt OF the Golden West She has he
lieved since she was eight years old
that women should vote and has made
miles of speeches for the cause. She
was president of the Washington I'o-

tors in Spokane. before tho league went
out of business, when the Washington
suffragists won their fight She took
very active part In tho work which
resulted tho cnfranchiscmcnt of 271.-

Bryan because | believe that no other
person Ike him ever lived IT was the
sorrow of III" life that this man. who

THAT Baltimore convention con-
tinucd Mrs. Hutton. "was all right, but
II would have becr moro comfortable
and more interesting session if the
mothers of baltimore had had some
thing to say about tho arrangements
Had women had voice in the details
Go Won suppose it would have been i'm
possible tn get ice water unless you
paid five cents a glass for It? 7 guess
not. Furthermore. women would have
mad electric fans going and there would
have been sounding board over the
chairmanS desk so you could have
heard what was being said.
However IL was a great convention.
and although have attended some
lively meetings in my day never In my
| life saw anything quite so furious as
that Baltimore session.
! You know I was one Of two women
/ delegates Mrs. Champ Clark's sister
in-law was the other. and must say the
men treated ua with every possible
| courtesy.

II but Bryan. suppose I'll adjust my

"Dr. Wilson. like all college profess

"Did You Try 10 have woman suf-
