About two hundred and fifty people
met at the State house steps Saturday
afternoon in the interests of the suf-
frage petition which is being carried
to Washington from California. The
automobile, in which the women
bringing the petition are making the
trip, met with some accidents and did
not arrive for the meeting, but Miss
Mabel Vernon, of Kansas City, adj
vance agent for the trip, was in To-
peka for the occasion. The young
boys of the Industrial school furnished
some music, and a petition was pass
ed through the crowd and was signed
by practically everyone there. The
state, county, and city officials had
already signed the petition, and many
of them wrote letters endorsing equal
suffrage as they had seen It tried in
Kansas.
Mrs. Lee Monroe, who had charge of
the meeting, said in speaking of the
company that assem- bled, 81 was never
so proud of Kansas people as 1 was
Saturday. Suffrage is, of course, a
dead issue in this state. We of Kan
sas have our cake and could sit quiet
about the rest of the country. But we
don't do that in Kansas. Our state
officials, and our justices of the SUI
preme court, in fact, a great many of
our leading people, left their work and
their business Saturday to do what
they could to boost woman suffrage
in other places, and to assist in max
ing the publicity campaign in which
the women elsewhere are engaged, a
success
Miss Vernon telephoned from Kan
sas City Sunday that the letters from
Kansas officials had proved so inter-
ters had sat up till the early morning
hours to read them.
