Grand Forks Herald: The Votes for
Women club proved to be very popular
and at times SO great was the interest
bated pro and con that traffic through
the aisle was blocked. Miss Jane
Thompson, the national organizer for
the suffragists, answered all questions

and the questions asked would puzzle
many a learned elf" but not Miss
Thompson. She believes in the work
and her enthusiasm is splendid. L.. l.
combating the position taken by Miss
Thompson, n we hazard the opinion

stated vigorously, and for a while he

surrounding the booth. Thrice armed

Miss Thompson soon had the eloquent
gentleman completely and ingloriously
routed. The debate, while serious and
fairly pristling with figures and stats,

parted on the best of terms.
"The nti-suffrage booth at the fair
was a lively place all day Wednesday,
says the Grand Forks Herald, and con.
tinues: In honor of the day Mrs. o.
Olson, of Buxton, was asked to have
charge of the booth for the day. The
Norwegian colors were used effectively
to decorate with and Mrs. Olson's
daughter, Miss Odena, in Norwegian
costume, assisted her mother in distri-
buting literature. h embroidery on
Miss Olson's dress was n hundred
and fifty years old and is highly priced
as an heirloom. Mrs. Olson addressed
the visitors at the booth in Norwegian
and was evidently alive to the import
ance OF properly placing the views OF
the anti-suffragists before all parties
interested. Miss Marjorie Dorman, ma.
tional organizer of clubs opposed to
suffrage for women, was in the booth
all day, but courteously gave the booth
to Mrs. Olson so that the Norwegians
might be addressed in their native
tongue. Sometimes the argument wax
ed dangerously near the heated stage.
but calmness finally prevailed and all
persons concerned parted on friendly
terms. Miss Dorman is national or
ganizer and her work has been very
largely in New York city. She states
that Judge N. C. Young, of Fargo, gave
the North Dakota association $500 to
carry on the work In this state. Miss
Dorman expects to organize a club in
this city n hopes to be able to do
the same in every town she visits.
