taking several years.
The best speaker for the cause on the
journey Is Miss Dunlap. She Is acting
head Of the state equal suffrage associ-
alton. But sha Is too busy woman
to give 1t much OF her time. The suf-
frage association needs someone at the
head who can AFFORD to give it undivid-
ed attention and make fight to win.
Miss Dunlap's effectiveness lies in the
simplicity Of her ways and speech and
her perfect sincerity. She IL plain and
practical. She Is on the Des Moines
school board and she manages set

But what Rev Everett Dean Martin
and Attorney General George Cossson
and Harvey Ingham said was all good.
! What Harvey Ingham said In his
speech at Adel was unusually good. 1t
was immensely pleasing to Ex-senator
| Hotchkiss, who could get up tight
| with 1ngham on almost any subject on

substance--its marshaling OF historical
facts and application OF principles to
| changing conditiors-the speech or
Editor Ingham gave great deal OF
| pleasure In Abel. for he turned aside
| to pay high compliment, very high
compliment. to Governor Clarke. In
| fact he Endorsed Clarke all over one
way and back again and the casual
listener might have jumped at the con-
! clusion that Editor lngham hal been
| from earliest times the chosen an! &C
copied press agent for the governor ara
chief defender OF him as an offclai.
Now it so happens that In Abel there
are good many who do not feel
that Harvey Ingham has been fair to
the governor; hence the speech ne made
was all the more agreeable
"If Ingham will just stick to his IN
dorsement OF Governor Clarke from this
time on" said an Abel lady to the
writer. I've will forgive him much. 1t
looks like he has had a change OF
heart; we hope 1t will last soms time
One Of the women OF the touring
party stated that she anticipates that
the best result Of the trip will be to
show the weak spots in the suffrage
campaign. 1T is evident" she SAID.

The question Is to be put into poll
tics next year. The candidates for the
legislature will have to show their
hands on the subject before they are
elected. That will be the first step.
The women say they do not intend to
take any chances on losing the amend
ment in the next legislature.

getting busy with the view to making
their cause also an issue In the state
election next year. They will hold
conference here next Saturday to plan
for their work. They expect to re-

himself to be for their program so
far as it lies within their power they
will make prohibition state issue next
year.

commenced, this time in Adams coun-
