Successful Rally at Earimore.
A large number or enthusiastic citi-
zens gathered at the park in Lari-
more last evening for the suffrage
rally, which was arranged by the la
dies of that progressive little city.
Miss Jane Thompson, the national
speaker and organizer, gave the spe-
cial address of the evening. She is an
energetic young woman and presented
some very good arguments in favor
of the cause. Mrs. Frank J. Van
Fleet, a prominent suffrage worker
in this dittrict, ave a brief talk and
introduced the speaker. In opening
Miss Thomson stated that the suffrage
movement was world wide. and not
confined to just a few states. Ameri-
ca, of course, vas first to take UP the
cause and hundreds Of the most intel
ligent. women Of the country have
given their time and money to cco
plish. what they deem is most neces-
sary. namely, secure the ballot, in
other words, equal suffrage. The
speaker declared that year g wom-
en- feared to be called s~uffragists, but
o they have come out boldly to
champion the cause. She also spoke
of the political classification Of WON
en- and urged the men to cast their
ballot in the fall for suffrage.
Miss Thomson dealt briefly with
the needs existing in this state for
a stringent child labor law, and stated
that the women could do more along
t1rnrn 1iraH fhan
they have more interests in the chill
dren.
The speaker cited several interest
ing conditions existing in other states
and what had been accomplished by
the women who had received the bal
lot. The combined efforts Of both
the men and women would certainly
work for the betterment of mankind.
Miss Thomson said the women were
making the laws Of the government
under which they live as the men
have. The women will do much
along sanitary lines and must have
the ballot in order to do it. The |
speaker declared that the government
assists the men in caring for the ami
mails. assists in stock raising, farm
ing and in fact gives instruction
along every line. but nothing is done
to help the mothers, in the home and
to bring UP the children and tighten
the labor. j
The granting Of suffrage, declared
the speaker. is the last step in econ
omic and political freedom Of wom-
en-. In closing Miss Thomson made a
final plea for the voters to cast the
ballot Alright at the fall election in
November.
