State Suffrage association came to an end
Friday evening with an address by Maud

The audience present was treated to an
excellent discourse and several of those
present received comprehensive answers
to questions asked of the speaker. Her
speech was of particular interest, owing
to the fact that she has just returned from
Ohio where she campaigned previous to
the election OF Tuesday in behalf of suf-
frage. Mrs, Frances Wyman presided at
the closing session. The audience pres

had been put to her before the meeting
