The Republican has OH various oc-

to make their would-be customers be-

this Is that the buyer has no oppor-
tunity for comparison Of different

that he has simply bought lower

this. that No. 2 lumber was sold as

MRS. CRANSTON
MARCHES TODAY In
SUFFRAGE PARADE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON, d c., April T.
Delaware Is represented today in the
march Of the suffragists to the Ma
tional Capitol A small army Of those
women who are urging Congress to
pass a bill granting nationwide suf-
frage 10 women, formed al the Column
bia Theatre in this city this morning
and marched 10 the capitol TO present
10 Congress an appeal for votes.
Every congressional district in the
country was represented. Mrs. Mar
tina S. Cranston, president OF the Della
ware Equal Suffrage Association, was
the sole representative Of the Diamond
state. Before going to the capitol, a
mass meeting was held at the theatre,
at which speeches we're made by
women prominent IN the suffrage
movement Later, another mass meet
ing was held in the grounds In front
of the capitol.
The march to the capitol today
was unlike that Of March 3 last when
insults were hurled at the women as
they paraded up Pennsylvania ave-
nue. The avenue was used for the pa
rade today, but instead Of insults we're
heard cheers. All of the marchers
were dressed in white, and the police
took particular pains to see that they
we're given ample protection.

Like all other members Of Congress,
those from Delaware have before them

real purpose of the session is to revise

opinion now that a great many other
matters, which demand immediate at
tention, will be taken up, and the PROS
pect is that the session will extend
