Mr.. Bailey stated Wednesday
that orders have already been placed

much of the necessary machinery

probable that the placing of mater.

Making Their Own SeleC-
tiOnS.

The people of the state are showing
a disposition to make their own se-
lection when it comes to picking
their favorite for the Senate and
for other Offices in both parties.
They show a disposition to wait
until all the eutries have been
made before forming any judg.
ment. So far people generally
have refused to become excited
over any ons's candidacy. One
reason for that is because the
time has passed when candIdac es
can he made at conference i'm
Washington or elsewhere.
1t is conceded that one vote is as
good as another In a statewide pri-
mary and machines are not gong
to count for much IN The next cam.

selves will have to undergo the
scrutiny of the public and win OH
their merits rather than on the

Ceredo Woman'S Club.

One of the most pleasureable
events of the season was the enter
tainment of the Ceredo Woman'e
club at the home of Mrs. X. K.
Hanna of Kenova, Thursday, Oct.
Z. Mrs. Hanna had made her
rooms festive with brilliant hued
autumn flowers.
The subject of the evening was
one that appealed to all, "Why
Should Women Vote2" The an.
swer to this much agitated question
was given in an Interesting and
convincing way by Rev. II. M.
Willis, who is an ardent supporter
of equal rights. His lecture was
received with enthuastic applause.
A humorous climax was given
the program by Miss Mary Peck
who entertained the audience with
a most amusing Interpretation Of
isis Mirandy on Why Should
Women Vcte?" by Dorothy Dix,
and at it's conclusion the following
resolution was unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas: 1t seemed wise TO the
General Federation of Women e
clubs in convention assem- bled in
Chicago last June, to endorse the
principle of equality; and where =
as, our State Federation III Ite
convention held IN October. fol-
lowed the precedent set by the
general Federation;
Therefore be it resolved: That
we, the Woman's club of Ceredo,
Give the cause Of political equality
OF men and women our moral sup.
port by recording our earnest be
lief in the principle of political
equality regardless Of sex.
A delightful social hour con.
cluded the evening, during which
