SHEDDING LIGHT
IN DARK PLACES
Billy Morgan and His Wife
Campaign in East.
They Carry the Suffrage Gospel
Into New York.
CONVERTS PULLMAN PORTER
Mrs. Morgan Wins a Promise
From Whisk Broom WieIder.
Finds UnyieIding Opponent in
One of Her Own Sex.

Because the women viii not ap-
prove, politicians abandon their ques-
uOna5le practices and work Tor pet
ter laws under equal suffrage That
is the argument of w Y. Morgan or
Hutchinson, lieutenant governor, n
his campaign for the suffrage amend
ment in New York Both Mr. and
Mrs. Morgan are taking an active part
in the New York suffrage campaign
If there Is an argument for Suffrage
that IS overlooked by the Kansas heu-
tenant governor, it is nailed py MS
clever wife Last year Mrs morgan
made q number of speeches in the
state wide campaign in Kansas ana
was one of the best speakers at the
disposal of the Republican state COM
mittee. Neither Morgan nor MS VINE
claim great reforms under Suffrage
They merely assert that the women
help to keep more even balance III
public affairs
things and they have 20 make good.
explained Morgan in an interview IN
RI7gFamptcu Then Morgan added:
Men in politics, in suffrage states,
work for better enactmentS II the
state IegisIa lures because II they don
the women won't like it And a
politician, being only human WOrhs
to please the voters
Mrs MORGAN mas some other reasons
They are the homely little arSu-
u1ents that get right down 10 the nam
and eggs OF the SlLudElOH anu
the voter do some deep sea thinking
before he registers his vote against
suffrage
Kansas L always voted through my
gardner, my uliIkman and my sarp-
age man and the men whom 1 could
influence explained Mrs Morgan IN
telling how the woman gets voice
in affairs when she can nave d N"ee-
A Woman Anti
r.
woman sat beside a female party VINO
did not encourage harmony con-
ventiou with the Kansas sufrraseLIe-
~Ughr' said Mrs Morgan one
was such an anti Then MIS- MOI
~an shrugged her shoulders by way OF
emphasis and to show just how cruelIy
anti the eastern woman really ap-
peared. Il did not object to her being
an anti suffragist If 1 could only I1nd
ont why. She gabe no real reason
Mrs. Morgan was out to get con-
verts So she deserted her sex and
turned her attentions ito the negro
porter. He lived in New Jersey ana
he has vote So Mrs Morgan
worked on him
Vow You viii vote for woman suf-
fraee won't your Mrs Morgan
pleaded with a smile and a tone as
beseeching as a high salaried evan
geIist at the mourner'S bench
fsYa-as rna-am,' replied the porter
who applied the same smile that he
uses Just before applying the whisk
broom. "Ah shure will ma-am- All
shure will
Probably Mrs Morgan will never
tell her husband the size of that por-
ter's tip But when the Kansas Worn-
an left the trani she gave the eastern
female enemy the smile Of the con-
qUsror.
The women are practical and in
teIMgent and energetic and we find
them among our most sensible voters.
said Morgan in telling of suffrage sue
cess IN Kansas Club women, school
teachers and newspaper women are all
aItruistic as a rule and sometimes are
inclined to act impulSively-
Mrs Morgan laughs at the argument
that the ballot will be used with evil
results by women of the underworld
The longer I live and the more
see of the world" said Mrs. Morgan
the harder I find it to tell who is the
immoral woman
And in that possibly, the Kansas
woman was thinking of her sister COM
panion on the train into the New York
town
