ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Banquet Proposed for House
Committee-Many Speak in

campaign for the next few weeks. This
campaign contemplates strenuous action
following up the recent advance votes

amendment before the country.
Tonight Miss Jeannette Rankin, OF
Illinois, and Mrs. Jessie II. Stubbs, OF
Kansas, will be the speakers at an out
door meeting at Chevy Chase, in charge
of Mrs. Minnie +. Brooke, of that place.
The existence of women of the un-
derwOrld does not surpIse Mrs. SIubUs,
according to her statement in a suffra-
gette street meeting at Tenth street
and the Avenue. The fact that there
are not more women Of this type, how
ever. does surprise her.
BY following in the footsteps OF
vice she said, most of these women
are able to make from SIS to $500
week. Such prospect is a great temp
tation to the poor girls compelled 10
toll long hours in sweat shops anG
laundrieS and other such places at S5,
81. and s. a week"
Women speakers last night braved the
rain in their campaign for votes-for-
women. At fifteen street and the Ave
