 Women of America. generations ago a country stood in need. Her treasure chests were empty. It was a time of stress and peril. In her hour of ex- tremety the women of the land were called upon to give their ornaments of gold. An as women have always res- bonded to an appeal for help, so they responded then and the tokens that wess given in exchange by a grateful government are today patents of hon. or and patriotism to the women of ; the race.
 We call upon you today in an hour of need.
 We call upon you to give from your treasure store of precious metal. from your keepsakes of gold and silver, that in the suffrage campaign states wo-
 men are making a stand for political equality. they shall not fail because
 the treasury is empty.
 Among your personal possessions there is something you can give, some thing you can consecrate, perhaps 8 little silver cup kept for love of some 1 child. Every three minutes baby dies in this land of ours from some
 preventable disease or from improper l food. Give the little cup that the mother wisdom of the country may ex-
 press Itself directly through wise, sane laws for the good of children. ! eff the thimbIe of your girihood 1: among your keepsakes. send 1t witt
 thought for the thousands of youns i girls exploited by greed, unprotected b1 i law, in the hot sweatshops of the i city slums.

 of your thrift-put 1t in the melting ] pot. Send it to the suffrage campaign | committee, for in the two Dakotas. il | Montana and Nevada, in Nebraska
 and Missouri and Ohio. women iron ] the homes, the schools, the factorie. and places of commerce are fighting ] for their civic rights against organ { ize dgreed, organized vice and thos'
 forces which stand in the path of pro
