For Women Who Want TO Vote

Mrs. Mamie Melvin, of Denton. an
able and alert organizer Of Chapters Of
the Just Government League of Mary
land on the Eastern Shore. after having
prepared the Worcester field several
weeks for sowing the seed Of Woman's S
Suffrage. held her first meeting here
last Tuesday night, in Mason's Opera
House.
The speakers of the evening were
Miss Julia X. Rogers and Miss Mary
Melvin, of Baltimore.
A large audience. composed princi-
pally Of school children, greeted the
speakers. but there was also good
number of gentlemen and ladies present.
Mayor Corddry. by request. acted AS
Chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Corddry
announced that he was presiding at the
meeting as Mayor of Snow Hill. and
while he had no apologies for so doing.
he did not indicate by his action whether
or not he was in favor of Woman's
Suffrage. He introduced Miss Rogers
as the first speaker. and she proved to
be most interesting one. She said
she wanted the ballot because she is a
human being. is a taxpayer and believes
that she ought to be directly represent
ed and have voice in the government
of her State and the nation. She pro-
tested most vigorously against taxation
without representation. Miss Rogers
protested against the action Of the
Maryland Legislature in turning down
the Bill Of the Just Government League
giving the franchise to women in Mary
land. She said there were only Is men
in that large body comprising the Mary
land House of Delegates. who voted
for the Bill, and one of them was MIR.
Taylor, of Worcester. OF course. our
friend Calvin got number of beautiful
bouquets from the eloquent speaker,
while our friends Barnes and Crockett
got an ice bath. Miss Rogers said that
recently President Taft and Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had declared in favor Of
Woman's Suffrage. intimating that they
were both anxious to secure the votes
of the women in the Western States in
the interest of their respective candida
cies for the Republican Presidential
nomination. Miss Rogers pictured an
ideal voting condition when women have
the ballot. She presented the cause in "A
most able and intelligent manner and
won her audience by her sweet manners.
Miss Mary Melvin was introduced by
Mayor Corddry as the second speaker
She is very bright young lady. al
though blind, and as told in this paper
before. she has accomplished much in
competition with others. who were
blessed with sight. In her address she
showed that she has an excellent mind,
and is thoroughly conversant with the
cause she espouses She told how the
condition Of women could be bettered in
the industrial world if they had the bal
lot To help them.
The meeting was closed with a few
remarks by Mrs. Melvin. who regretted
that the Opera House was cold, as a
consequence of which the speakers were
not able to don their finery. and show
that, although suifragettes, they like
pretty clothes, and all of the refining
influences of their sex.
