persistent advocate of woman suffrage.
AS a member of the territorial l~egisla-
ture thirty years ago he came very near
putting through a bill for equal suf-

It's so. Freddie Welsh is none other

Fred got his name in America just

Welsh entered into his life about the

There is only about 10 minutes differ

Eleven years ago Fred was not as
