en- Of Fergus at Once.

Advocates Of equal suffrage met yes
terday at the home of Mrs. R. w. Rey-
nolds for the purpose of discussing a
plan to organize county central COM
mittee. The nucleus of a permanent
committee was formed and other mem
bers will be added from time to time
Those who constitute this committee
are: Mesdames Albert Pfaus, J. M.
Vrooman, E. K. Cheadle, ]. H. Atkins,
R. W. Reynolds and Bertha Rosen-
burg, who is county chairman.
An Active Campaign.
An active campaign is going to be-
gin at once, at first especially among
the women of the county. Each lady
present at yesterdays meeting prom
ised to give tea within the next ten
days or two weeks and invite dozen
or more of her neighbors in to discuss
the question of suffrage for women. In
this way women in all parts of the
city will be brought in touch with each
other on a question of common inter
est. This will be the first of a series
of such teas which will aim to reach
as many women as possible in the
near future.
Further the new committee decided
to ask men who will be willing to con.
tribute five or ten dollars to the cam
paign fund to affiliate themselves with
the organization in the form of an ad-
visory board. Fergus county has been
given an apportionment of 5000 as
contribution towards the state cam
paign fund, and the committee will set
about raising the said amount imme-
diately. Besides this, the organization
OF all the women in the county will re-
ceive immediate attention.
