WINDY CITY SUFFRAGIST To BATTLE
MLIAHTLY FOR BALLOT IN ILLINOIS

Chicago. May 3.-Mrs. Ella S. Stew
art, womans suffrage organizer and
for six years president of the Illinois
Equal Suffrage association, has mark
ed out a difficult task for herself. She
is to start May on the first of a Sc
ries of three propaganda tours she is
to make during the warm season.
This first trip will take three weeks
and will include twelve of the south
ernmost counties in the state. There
an organization for suffrage never
has been formed, the people never
have heard a suffrage speaker, and
suffrage sentiment is thought to be
in an exceedingly hazy state.
During the six years that she held
the presidency of the state associa-
ton. Mrs Stewart developed the prin-
ciple that strong organization is the
only ground work upon which the
suffragists may build successful
campaign.
The present endeavor of the state
association" said she, ito form per-
manent district organizations is re-
sulting in a practical suffrage renais-
sance for Illinois.
Now that suffrage has made the
rounds, appearing with other great
reforms. it can come into it's own.
taking a stanch stand on its own mer-
its, the cause of justice and right.
woman's suffrage has been won.
From now on it will be a hard battle
between the powers of light and of
darkness. Our enemies will use mis-
representation to win some of the
good voters and they will unfalter-
ingly spend large sums of money to
buy the bad voters"
