Miss Mary McDermon OF st.
Louis was in the Cape Tuesdayrepre-
senting the Woman's Suffrage Move
ment Of Missouri. She was locking
over the town in regard to the Suf-
frage question, getting an idea just
what support this organization is
receiving in Cape Girardeau and
vicinity, and how the various clubs
are taking this all important question
Miss McDermon visited several of
the prominent club women of the
city, who are interested in Suffrage,
and while it is not thought that this
organization will form member
ship at present, it was her idea to
see in what light the newspapers of
this city regarded the movement, in
hopes that should they decide to
form here, they will have the hearty
support of the papers, for as Miss
McDermon stated, without the as
sistance of the papers of town
they would not consider that place
for a minute
From here Miss McDermon will
travel through the different cities OF
Southeast Missouri, in the interest
Of this movement.
