Miss Jones has a very engaging
personality, possessing a good voice,
distinct, firm delivery and an eastern
accent rather pleasing to the western
ear.
Miss Jones, in referring to the
march Of suffragists from Albany to
Washington, said that suffragists be-
lieve in the spectacular as necessary
to attract attention and consideration
to their cause. No ordinary methods
will any longer arouse enthusiasm.
Why Come to Towns?
She remarked that one might ask
why suffragist SPEAKERS give any at
Itention at all to small towns. But
she asserted that the suffragists look
for the affirmative vote from the vii
lagos, small towns and rural districts.
Apparently the vice, congestion and
prep0nderance Of males In the large
cities are not encourag 'ngTto the suf-
frage cause. s
More States?
She pointed out that North Dakota
is not the only state to consider the
suffrage question just now. The ques-
ton of granting suffrage to women is
one which the men Of six states will
soon be called upon to decide. She
decried any feeling of fear entertain
ed by any that this question is soon
to be voted n. If there is fear about
submitting the question 1t is a sign
of Acknowledgements 10 at a stand
still. She declared that England, Nor
way, Sweden and other European
countries are looking toward the
United States ESQ called land of free
dom and chivalry) to set the pace and
example for the world.
Hands Are Tied.
She asserted that women want en-
reimbursement because now their
hands are tied-they have no legal
voice in helping or controlling laws
which affect their interests. She
pointed out that woman's work in
many lines has undergone an evolu-
ton. The making of clothes, the can
ming and preserving of fruits, the cur
ing of meats, ETC., is now done in fac
tories and shops. And a great many
women have followed their work from
the home to the factory and work
shop. Statistics show that there are
100000 working women in the U. S.
1t is any wonder that women should
wish to have some voice in laws af-
fecting the condition Eand terms of
their labor.
Every Voter Has influence.
She pointed out that every voter
exercises an influence over a politi.
cal candidate or incumbent Of public
office. Office seekers and legislators
seek to please their constituents in
general. Women seek and want Ger.
tain reforms. Give her the ballot, give
her the power to help elect or defeat
a candidate and the legislator would
begin to consider the legislation de-
manded by women. The great body
Of women, the natural conservators of
the home, would form q welcome addi-
ton to. the constituency to whom pub
lie servants are respOnsible-and the
constituency, which, by he power OF
the Nhaalot, has the power to approve
or reject Its servants.
Has Done Good Work.
She pointed out that in Colorado
the vote Of women has been instru-
mental In; getting a home for depend
ent children and three women are
members Of the board OF control, they
have also achieved Industrial schools
for girls. and made possible tho juve-
nile court presided over by the famous
Ben Lindsey. Three million women
now vote. A couple years may see
the number increased by one and one
half million. She begged her male
auditors to be fair and considerable
to realize tnat suffrage Is but the log
ical, reasonable and Inevitable devel-
opment in the sweep OF progress. She
asked for an affirmative vote at the
polls.
Charters have been issued for two
new banks In this state. One Ia to be
located at Northgate, on the Canadian
border, In Burke county, and Is to be
known a. the First State bank or
NOrthgate. II Is capitalized at $40.
