Topeka Women Listen to
Speech Given in Chicago.
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch
Over Long Distance phone.
Her APPEAL WAS FOR HUGHES
ssWilsOn Kept Us Out of Suf-
frage" Was the Cry.
Liberty for Women Was the
keynote of Her Speech.

Suffrage workers from every sec
ton of the state heard the long dis
lance telephone appeal of Mrs. Har-
riet Stanton Blatch, from the Black
stone hotel in Chicago, when she
urged women in suffrage states to
vote against reelection of President
Wilson. The ceremonies in Topeka
were held at the headquarters of the
National Woman's Party, 904 Kansas
avenue. Governor and Mrs. Arthur
Capper were among prominent Kan
sans who attended the ceremonies.
In a speech in Chicago Sunday night
Mrs. Batch talked directly into
transmitter which carried her message
to women in all suffrage states where
women votes will be cast for president.
The appeal was to defeat President
Wilson-"because he kept us out of
suffrage" In Topeka, Mrs. Dan Case
ment of Manhattan received the mes
sage and transmitted the reply for the
suffrage workers of Kansas.
Women of the east, have courage"
said Mrs. Easement. THE women of
Kansas have heard your call and will
stand by you. We will not return to
power the man who has blocked the
political freedom of American wo-
men,"
Heard by Several Cities.
Mrs. Blatch talked into telephone
transmitter in the Blackstone theater,
WHlCIi was cEOWueQ, ana ner WOruS
were carried by long distance tele-
phone to audiences assem- bled in To-
peka, Denver. Colo, Phoenix, Ariz.,
Cheyenne, Wyo., Salt Lake City, Utah,
Helena, Mont, Boise, Idaho, Seattle,
Wash, Portland, Ore, Reno, New, and
San Francisco.
Mrs. Blatch declared that the result
of the election will be so close that
every vote will count. The result will
be decided by the suffrage vote, she
believes, and the work that the women
do for the Republican candidate.
Liberty for women will be won be-
cause it is just and because a full.
complete and virile democracy includ-
ing all the people. men and women, is
of such vital moment-more import
ant than any question of tariff or
banking or of preparedness or labor, -
said Mrs. Batch.
with realization, then, that the en-
reimbursement of woman is a pressing
world issue, we ask ourselves the prac-
teal question: Who is the chief enemy
is that enemy.
THE Democratic party has declared
| for suffrage state by state. But what
has this party and its leaders done to
achieve a victory in any one state
Nothing.
1--WE are holding President Wilson
directly responsible for the attitude OF
! the Democratic party toward the en-
| reimbursement of women because no
plete control of the party than Wood
row Wilson has"
After Mrs. Batch finished eleven OF
the suffrage states telephoned replies
promising unanimous support for her
appeal.

LARDNER CLAIMS ALL
Democratic Chairman Even Looks for
Lansdon's Election.

In a final prediction forecast. HUI
bert Lardner, chairman of the Demo-
crat state committee, today filed on
almost everything in sight. He
claimed the state for Wilson by 1000
to 1900, claimed probable election of
Lansdon over Governor Capper and
thought the Democrats might defeat
Congressman D. R. Anthony, with the
remaining seven districts safely Demo-
cratic.
Lansdon's forecast blankets the
state. He expresses confidence that
President Wilson will get the labor
vote, the woman vote, the German
vote, the farmer vote and something
more than an even break of any other
votes that may be cast. Every rail-
road center in Kansas is claimed for
the Democrats and Lansdon holds out
hopes that the Democrats might cap
ture Shawnee county.
All of the seven districts outside the
First is held as almost certain Demo-
crat territory by the Lansdon pro-
phecy. He also holds out hope that
DR.. Eva Harding will draw a suffi-
cient vote from Congressman Anthony
to permit Corwine, Democrat, to win
in the first Concluding three type
written pages of claims, Chairman
Lardner says:
1.-The strength which W. C. Lansdon.
candidate for governor. has developed
within the last two weeks has sur
prised even his most ardent support
ers. There is a strong possibility, due
to the farmers and labor vote com
bined, that he will succeed Arthur

ton upon it.

of electricity and magnetism followed
By study of operation, care, construc-
ton and repair of ignition systems

ment the storage battery, the genera
tor starting motors and various types
of combination systems will be studied
