Chicago club women differed mate
rally when asked what they thought
of scratching out the word "WomanS'
from their club titles and admitting
the men into their societies. Some of
them wanted the men in everything,
and some Wantd the men out of every
thing, but the majority were willing to
let them in some of the societies and
bar them out of others.
Minnesota women at the convention
of the State Federation of Women
Clubs in Duluth on Wednesday decided
to scratch the title and admit the men,
which raised the question in Chicao.
The discussion now on in Chicago
never bothered Topeka women. The
| Equal Suffrage League in Kansas and
in Shawnee county had many male
members, who paid dues, made
speeches, and otherwise assisted in the
campaign.
/
The Good Government club has had
/ honorary members on the roll for
years, and those men occasionally at
| tend the meetings, and lend their as
sistance in the projects of the organ
| ization. There was a time when the
Federation had some male members.
| The Kansas club women think that
clubs which deal with public affairs
| especially can afford to welcome the
men who enough interested to
want to cooperate with them to that
| extent.
