Within the next few days delega-

he assist them in securing from the

the suffrage banner might be consid-
cradle trophy, but to the women who
made the fight for suffrage it is even
mroe valuable. Besides its record of
having been carried through the

States, it has been the prize banner
of the Nevada suffragists. Who the
