Big Prizes for All.
All six leaders now know they are
certain of winning a big prize on the
3rd of next month, and that it rests
with them to determine whether 1t
shall be 81, 400 Oldsmobile touring
car, an $3.50 Kimball player piano, 4
$3.50 lot on the main street of Seeley,
$1O0 diamond ring, an $50 diamond
ring. or that artistic braided gold
necklace with tiny gold watch which
has been admired by so many people
who have seen it in the window of the
Crescent Jewelry Store just east OF
the postofflce.
Men Relatives Helping.
Few of the leaders are now COM
PEELED to work single-handed. Friends
and relatives are getting so inter-
ested they cannot help taking an ac-
tive part in the campaign, The prizes
are too big to be ignored. They will
he enjoyed by the whole family of
the winners and there is not prize

ahead of others, and they are now
taking an active part in securing sub

George f. Cheney, Miss Sigrid Ekloif
Of this town and Mrs. J. Borden Els
tee of Montpelier motored to Island
Pond last Saturday to visit Congress
man Porter II. Dale and ask him to
support the national suffrage amend
ment that is to be presented in the
Gath congress.
The ladies reached Island Pond
about eleven o'clock. Congressman
and Mrs. Dale received the delegates
most cordially. Mrs. Dale had also
invited some of the Island Pond
ladies in to meet the expected guests.
Ine conference with Congressman
Dale took place in the spacious lib
rary on the second floor of the Dale
homestead Mrs. A. L. Bailey open
ed the interview by stating the pur-
pose of the deputation. She said
chat one of the plans of the Congress
sional Union, an organization having
for its sole object the promotion Of
the national suffrage amendment, is
to have every member Of the Gath
Congress asked by women from his
own state to support the national
suffrage amendment known as the
Susan b. Anthony amendment and
which reads:
The right Of citizens of the Unit
ed States TO vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or
by any state on account of SEX"
Mrs. Bailey than introduced Mrs.
J. Borden Estee Of Montpelier,
member OF the advisory council of
the Congressional Union. Mrs. Estee

cred a national issue. She made a
summary Of the political aspects of
the national suffrage movement.
One-fourth of the senate, one-sixth Of
the house and one-fifth of electoral
college, she said, come from states
where women vote. She called at
tention to the significance Of the re-
cent women voters convention and
the resolutions passed by that body
of citizens holding political power. In
conclusion Mrs Bstee said:
I'VE do not ask your own personal
belief on this question, Congressman
Dale, because we believe all think
ing men have accepted the principle
of woman suffrage. We merely ask
you to consider favorably the An
thony amendment, that it may pass
the Gath congress. Then the issue
will be referred to the various state
legislatures"
Other speakers were Mrs. George
Cheney and Miss Wakefield.
Congressman said that since the
ladies telephoned him on Wednesday,
making the appointment for this in
terview, he had been away some of
the time and when at home he had
been too busy to prepare any formal
statement upon the issue in question,
but that he had no hesitancy in say
ing that he was in favor of woman
suffrage. He then in an informal,
but very Illuminating manner, dis
cussed relative Important issues of
today. The interview was terminated
by an invitation to the dining room,
where a most artistic and bountifuI
luncheon was served.
