Makes SPEECH
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

statute books; that the peoples meas
ures have increased the political Lys-
terra, and, also, have accomplished moth
ing, and, lastly, that Judge Lindsey, of
Denver, hasn't a single friend in his
city and only manages to hold his place
on the Juvenile bench because his faults
and crimes are so bad that it is the
public duty to suppress them and go on
enduring Lindsey.
The writer of this article, Judge Lind
sey snapped, introduced himself in Den
yer as a professor of Christian ethics
and applied Christianity. Then the judge
left that subject and gave a short eX,
planation of the article.
He said that. although this discerning
writer had discovered that he Cthe judge
had not a single friend or supporter in
Denver. still the people had given him
$500 majority at the last election. "Anu
that was more than enough support from
nobody to assure me of the peoples ap-
proval of my work.
Stronger for Court.
The mothers and average women OF
Denver are all on my side. They are
not only not against me bat in view
OF the reckless, lying character of thu
anonymous circulars put out by The
WOman's Protective League" are stronger
for me and my court than ever.
Il was reelected twice in l9l2-eighteen
months ago by 1900 majority at the
county elections and eight months ago
at the State elections by 5000 majority
out of $1,000 votes cast for the office.

and two-thirds Of the mems vote at both
elections and l would get IT again,
am sure, If they could possibly get
signers enough to their petitions to re-
quire me TO run again. They need L,
and they will never get 5OO-unless they
use money lavishly and / doubt II the
will dare do that.
The success Of our fight Is due largely
to the fact that women vote in Colorado,
and that we have now secured the peo-
pies instruments OF popular government
These things are very offensive to them,
and l am unintentiOnally thus cOm!li-
mented and hOnored by my enemies in
being included in the objects of their
wrath"
Judge Lindsey had to conclude his ad-
dress abruptly and hurry Of to catch
a train.
Kent Makes speech.
Representative Kent was the first
speaker. He described how woman sut-
fraEe worked, and why it will soon be
adopted over the country. His address
was rich in satiric shafts for the anti
sUffragists.

chrOniclers OF the aristOcraCy." he said.

From the standpoint OF individuslism.

Emancipation Of/women. They are en-
titled to equal opportunity. When We
look at the problem from the social side,
We find that there is insistent need for
their full participation in the respOnsi-
bilities of life. In women the social
sense is more developed, more a motive
force than in men.
