Mr.. William Dudley Foulke made a
splendid address yesterday afternoon
before members of the Woman's Fran

guests at the meeting held in the lee
ture room of the Morrisson-Reeyes IL
brary. The gathering was one of the
largest in the history of the organiza-
their being many men guests in ad-
dition to the women. Miss Elizabeth
Comstock, president of the league, pre-
sided and introduced the speaker. Mr..
FOulke, who at one time was president
of the American Suffrage organization,
told many things of interest, and show
ed how the cause has progressed. He
said that one reason why suffrage had
not reached America more rapidly
than it has is because American WON,
en- are better treated than women of
other countries. However, woman sui
frage has been making rapid progress
lately, and many of the western states
now have suffrage. Mr.. FOulke said
although some people thought women
ought to stay at home, he was con-
WINGED the further her sphere was ex-
tended the better her work. "Often
times" he added, "it is said that wom-
en- do not want suffrage, but it has
never been submitted to them" In
conclusion Mr.. FOulke said, Happily,
we need no suffrage movements here
such as other countries have resorted
to. All we need is little patience"
Women are much better qualified to
vote when it comes to municipal af-
fairs than men are. The speaker is
convinced that suffrage is bound to
come, because of late much progress
has been made in all civilized coun-
tries, especially in American.
The next regular meeting of the or
ganization will be held in a month.
