THE ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.

susnahay TO support sucsl families as
may be dependent upon them.

Temple Graves. a Washington man,
well known as a powerful speaker as
well as for his contributions to the
editorial columns of many of the
country's leading newspapers, has
consented to speak for suffrage in New
York and New Jersey during the fall
campaign. A State suffrage amend
ment will be submitted to the voters
in these States this fall.
Mr.. Graves is a veteran supporter
of votes for women. Miss Frances
Willard said after hearing him speak
that he had made the best argument
for woman suffrage she had ever heard
MADE by any man or woman. A
decade ago Mr.. Graves advocated suf-
frage at a meeting in Georgia and was
Missed for his pains. Last year he
spoke again for suffrage in the same
state and was applauded to the echo.
