filed quite largely with equal suffrage
movement, all of whom gave the
speaker the most courteous attention
throughout her address, accepted Miss
BrOnson's occasional witticisms in
good feeling and in the spirit intend
ed.
Following a %euIogistic introduction
by Mrs. N. G. Young of this city, Miss
Bronson prefaced her address
with a few personal remarks con-
corning some comment circulated
about her and which had reached her
ears since her arrival in this city. 1t
was recently stated, she said, in a
Boston paper printed in the interests
or woman suffrage, that she had aD-
peared before the New Jersey legis-
lature in 1905 in opposition to a local
option bill then pending before that
body. She branded this as absolutely
false and stated that she was at that
time in the state of Georgia and in
the service of the United States
Bureau Of Labor.
Some Of the reasons set forth by
Miss Bronson which form her opposi-
ton to WOman suffrage were that
women as a separate and non-political
force as they 10Y existed can WELD
more power than through the ballot,
that under present conditions only the
good and better class Of women now
take an active part in the formation
or public opinion and better conditions
M thus makes an added force to
the good and better class Of men in
their fight against vice and corrup-
ton; that the peril Of the feminist
movement turks in the background Of
the woman suffrage question in Am
erica and nthpr t6ioOc re cip,iJa. No
ture.
Miss Bronson stated that If the bal
lot were given to women. both good
and bad women would vote, thus
only doubling the present ratio Of
good and a forces. The bad women
would be in league with the bad men
IN the larger communities and so
would be fighting the force of the
good men and good women Under
existing conditions Miss Bronson con-
tended that only the good women
take an active part IN the welfare of
the community, as bad women never
show themselves and run the risk Of
being objects of scorn. Therefore it
makes two forces of good pitted
against n bad force.
The speaker said the women op-
posed to woman suffrage were not the
parasitic women, reactionary nor
retrogresslVe, but women who were
taking their places in the world,
bread winners along with the rest and
women who were occupying positions
of trust both in business and for the
state.
She pointed to laws in the greater
majority of states which protected
Women's rights and made their con-
ditions superior to the rights Of men,
Women of property, she said, were
protected in every way. A woman of
property can dispose of any of her
belongings without her husbands con-
sent, does not have to provide for the
children If her husband can't. nor sup
port her husband if he should be
On the contrary, a man
must support his wife, if he be poor
and she be rich, he must support his

children, he cannot dispose of his
property without her consent and in
divorce he must pay her alimony,
while she does not.
She pointed to laws protecting the
wage-earning girl. the girl in the fac
tory and sWeatshop. Employers are
compelled to provide seats for wo-
men employees, but not for men. The
law regulates a wage-earning girls
working hours. Not so for men. Their
hours are by their own efforts through
labor organizations, seldom through
state statutes.
Tho greatest fear Miss Bronson
seemed to have from woman suffrage
was from the perils of the feminist
movement, or what some of the
younger generation Of suffragists, she
said, are pleased to call the social
economic question, which means wo-
mans absolute independence of man.
She read statistics and extracts from
speeches Of prominent ~suffragists in
the country, which she commended,
were indicative of the gradual devel-
opment of a deplorable social condi-
ton in this country. Temperance
statistics were also given showing
that in suffrage states saloons have
Increased rather than decreased.
Miss Bronson urged the voters to
consider his question we'll. She sug-
gested a referendum Of the women of
the state, and if the majority were in
favor Of voting, hen she urged the
men to give them the ballot.
While Miss Bronson created an ex-
cellent impression on the greater
portion of her audience and set many
to thinking. the sentiment for suf-
frage in Fargo throughout the state
is considered SO strong, that it is al
ready predicted that equal suffrage
will win at the fall election.

HEADACHES

Thousands of men and women suffer from
headaches every day, other thousands have
headaches every week or every month. and still
Others have headaches occasionally, but not at
regular intervals. The best Doctor is often unable
to find the cause of many of these headaches
and in most other cases, knowing the cause. he
does not know what will remove 1t, so as to give
a permanent cure. All he can do is to prescribe
the usual pain BELIEVERS, which give temporary
relief, bot the headache returns as usual, and
treatment is again necessary. If you suffer from
headaches, no matter what their nature, take
Anti-kamnia Tablets, and the results will be salts

them at all druggists in any quantity. 10c worth,
25c worth or more. Ask for AK Tablets.
Sick-headache, the most miserable of all sick
nesses, loses its terrors when AK Tablets are
Eaken. When you feel an attack coming on,
take two tablets. and in many cases, the attack
will be warded of. During an attack take one
AK Tablet every two hours. The rest and COM

honding on for large prices be-
