A crowd of about 300 people greet ed Miss Josephine Casey in Lowell sunday afternoon despite the fact that there was 2 misunderstanding over Ike date Of the meeting. The {. cal people, when they heard Miss Casey was or her way to Lowell, starteI ott to spread word of the meeting and in less than an hour the crowd had gathered. Sunday night Miss Casey gave a brief address in the Methodist church at Bisbee and an- nounced her meeting for the follow ing evening at the K. P. hall When Miss Casey had finished, the pastor, the Rev. Mir. Andrews spoke in favor of national suffrage, for few min utes before starting his sermon.
 The meeting in Bsbee on Monday night was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held there The city was thoroughly billed and posters put up during the day with the result that the large and beautiful hall which the miners union donated was packed to the doors.
