/ could not think of single woman
that I would dare ask to carry a BAN
ner down Kansas avenue, the business
street in our capital city, or a woman
who would speak on street corner
and I answered that since. John Brown,
Jerry Simpson and Carrie Nation had
gone to Heaven, and Mary Ellen Lease
to New York we were rather snort on
the spectacular and would proDaply
have a very humdrum campaign, put
that we were going to win without
either spectacular or militant meth-
DDS"
In closing her address. giving the
general policy of the campaign, she
said:
I'VE used more sugar than vinegar
Militant methods were barred. ana no
speaker representing that type was
invited into our state. we useo no
threats, nor did we make rash prom
ises, but relied upon our appeal for
justice. The many years of pron1pl-
ton in Kansas has given us a clean'
clear-thinkirg class of men and the
result showed that our confidence IN
them was not misplaced.

Those who know the violin playing
of that distinguished Russian virtuoso'
Micha Elman, who comes to Topeka
Tuesday, April s, know that he has
for some seasons been regarded as the
manned for his most recent American
appearance-made a few afternoons
ago in Carnegie hall, New York-to
cause those experts who heard him to
classify the young musical genius as
the foremost violinist living.
A distinctive audience of 1000 persons
assembled to greet Elman on his re-
turn to musical public life in this
country on the occasion mentioned, and
there was deep interest to observe the
extent of his artistic growth Through
out the program it was evident, from
the character of the applause, that
Elmans endeavors were regarded as
superior, even, to those of other years
The climax came when the recital was
finished. Then the people resolutely
refused to leave the hall. The must
cial played an encore, thinking that
would be sufficient. When he found
it was not, he again played. And still
came demands for more" 1t was
only after Elman had performed five
encores that the people turned re-
gretfully away; they had to because
the auditorium lights had been dimmed
and those on the stage turned out
completely
Speaking of the occasion next day
the New York Sun said in part: THE
qualities of Mr.. Elman's art have been
SO often discussed in this place that
there seems nothing further to say
at the moment. His equipment in
technic is so large and his musical
temperament so rich in enthusiasm and
quick instinct for the best application
of the sensuous beauties of tone that
the nearer feels notable satisfaction.
