The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1913-07-26

The ovation given the Votes for
Women car last evening as it entered
the city about 1880 o'clock was one of
which the Fargo women are proud.
The coming was heralded with Put
MANS band bearing a large banner on
which were the words, Hear Miss
Rankin, Island park, 1880" and a crowd
OF several thousand people followed
the suffrage car and the cars which
escorted it into the city, to the grand
stand, where Miss Rankin gave one
lof her most stirring appeals for suf-
frage.
Mrs. e. M. Darrow, state president
of the Votes for Women league, in
troduced Miss Rankin, who by her
charming manner and clear, convinc-
ing statements held the attention Of
her audience. She told something of
the recent tour of the state made by
herself. and two of Fargo's leading
women, Mrs. DarroW and Mrs. Amidon,
and of what their work in the future
Will lead to. She traced the successes
OF the women UP to the present day
from the first agitation of the question
in 1888.
