lives to the great cause that came to
a crisis fiftr years ago. But tonight
the turn OF events has brought me
here on the orly night I could come
and I trust that all that is said and
done here tonight viii be said and
done with charity to al and malice
toward none For in deed and in
truth the soul Of our movement is
like that of the good old hero of
Ossawatomie whose soul goes march
ing on We have just passed
through the 80 Of our movement. We
have before us issues much the same
as the issues Of the fifties We
have the same moral tone deep and
unWavering in our cause that the
men had who went out from 81 to
50 We are stirred BY the same
emotions that they felt-of pity for
the oppressed, Of fear for free gov
ernment Of indignation at the op-
pressors who are trying to make
our government their shield of op-
preston.
we prCgressives who see in the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of organized wealth,
what all good citizens saw in the
slave oHgarchy of the COS, can SYM
pathize profoundly with the men
who rose II that dark time and have
their blood. their health. their wealth
and their lives for the ideals that
inspired them.
A Peaceful Conquest
far moved forward in fifty years
that civil war viii never again come
to our land But we feel tonight,
looking back at the work of the
men of the sixties that they We're
blessed witi a precious opportunity
and that if our cause should meet
what their cause met in arrogant
Injustice. in base chicanery, if we
should be powerless TO relieve op-
preston peacefully as they were. we
should follow where they led. Put
we believe in peace We believe that
our cause is 50 just and that man
kind Row i so open minded and
reasonable, that we can win in peace
and love ard in good viii. Yet to
night we must remember that IN the
old days when peace and good VIII
would not win. when righteousness
did not move the powers that were,
good men and true We're found who
head in their hearts call deeper
than that Cr life and who went out
gayIy and happily to glorious death
All honor to the men Of the SIX
ties. MAY we face our modern prcb-
lens with the same courage, with
the same patriotism and with the
same devotion to the cause Of the

sas where recently we secured the
unlimited franchise for women, the
proeressives held the first political
banquet in the state whore women

progressive party in the nation in
declaring COR equal suffrage, natur-
ally have teen questioned and we
should not worry about cross eX-
animation. But the endorsement OF
suffrage by the progressive party
was inevitable.
Work for Women
A movement looking toward a re-
adjustment Of the economic situation
would be insiEcere and ineffective If
it did not command the cooperation
Of women For this century must be
distinctly the Woman's century. We
expect spiritual change and the
advancement in this century just as
the nineteenth century was a time
Of material change and advance
ment What steam, electricity ana
capital did for the material develop
ment Of the nineteenth century, we

women to do for the twentieth cen

motherhood in the middle classes
