ing 1.500,000 unorganized railroad workers, waited three weeks to get 9 ten minute hearing.

 We began the national movement in 1912 with states on our side. In 1914, women, for the first time in history held the balance of pow CT.

 Mir. Ashurst Is Peeled Tn answer to question as to why the party opposed Ashurst and Hay den, Miss Winslow turned the bat tery of her truths on the Arizona senator. His well known habit Of using words came in for some neat sarcastic comment and then she said that because he depended for his joD on the votes of women, the flower i spewing Arizonian was for suffrage She told how he had forced a vote on the suffrage amendment, knowing ! it would fail miserably. just when ! the women were organizing huge suf- 1 frage demonstrations all over the na-

 the senate had hurt the cause. She ] asked why if Senator Owen could 1 force through his pet corrupt prac- ! tices, by threat to hold up admins tration measures. the senators from i the suffrage states could not, being professedly the friends of suffrage l force a favorable vote on the An thony amendment
 Some one asked what she thought of Ashursts statement on the same ! platform that if President Wilsor had tried to get the amendment out of committee, he would have beer imDeauhed. and Miss Winslow took five minutes off for chuckles.
