REPEATER, BUT A LADY
suffragist Kindly Votes for Alb
sent Friends.

Stratford, Conn, Aug. Under Con-
necticut laws women may vote upon
school matters when properly qualified,
and so. at a meeting held here to-
night to consider an addition 10 thn
Washington school, about thirty
women appeared TO vote, headed 10y
Mrs. Rosamond Winton, leader OF the
Stratford suffragettes and prominent
IN local clubs.
Mrs Winton favored an appropria-
ton for IN school addition, which was
later defeated and after her speech
the balloting began. When tho tellers
commenced their work they notified
Judge Charles II. Peck who was pre-
siding as moderator. that somebody
had dropped in three ballots, all folded
up together. Judge Peck. who is a
leading church member and fighting
foe OF the demon rum. remarked appro-
priately upon the virtues Of honesty
and righteousness even in voting. and
ordered a second ballot.
Again the telers shouted that some
one was stuffing in three ballots at ons
whack and again there was an uproar.
When something akin 10 order was re
stored Mrs. Winton smilingly informed
the meeting that she had put in three
ballots each time, because two dear
lady friends Of hers had been unable
TO come and that she was acting as
their proxy. Her Indignation was no.
ticeable when a new ballot was ordere
and it was ruled that only registered
voters might cast ballots.
