ADDRESSED PRESTON CITY GRANGE
Mrs. w. Bartlett of Putnam Save Crangers are Keeping Step With Time-Opportunites are So Numerous That Possibilities Which Lie Within Them are Confusing Speaker Says More is Demanded of Women Today Than in Paa4
The grangers are keeping step with

The grangers are keeping step with time said Mrs. w. J, Bartlett of Put nam, a well known eastern Connecticut suffrage worker. in an address before the members of Preston City grange on Tuesday night. The meeting was well attended in spite of the warm weather and much interest was shown in the address
 A little over 80 years ago, when the question was first agttated that grange be organized, according to Past Master Patterson of Connecticut, much opposition was shown, said Mrs. Bart lett Today the thousands of members In the grange show how much the farmers needed and wanted 1t.
 There are, they tell me, a few antts left, she continued, who do not believe we need votes for women. Why should there be any question as to the need and value of equal suffrage for the state? The national grange has pass ed 8 resolution declaring emphatically and unanimously in favor of woman suffrage and also endorsing the fed era1 amendment.
 In regard to Jesus mission, she said: Jesus came to do what? Jesus came to teach the gospel to the poor, He came to heal, to destroy the operations of evil of every kind in human experi- ence. Did He fulfill His mission? Jesus preached a very little, but He did a great deal. The gospel shows this from His boyhood. He was about His Fathers business. This business consisted of teaching by example as well as by precept what God is, what God does and how God does what He does.
 Are we as patrons going to teach what the grange is, what the grange does and how the grange does what it does? The grange teaches us how to

, live, that we may have health, peace prosperity and freedom. But you and l know there isn't much satisfaction in 1 living unless we care how others live. We as patrons know the grange
 teachings But the most important question Is are we living up to the
 mark? The grange has & mission. Are we teaching by example what this mis- sion is? Are we teaching that the l grange stands for equality and has from the beginning? Are we proud of the fact that the grange was the first great body in this nation to adopt woman suffrage? The grange by pre- cept and example has been the pioneer in this freedom. We are viewing with keen satisfaction the present encour- aging condition of the woman suf- frage movement. l am not going to tell you tonight why I am a suffra g1st. I will conf1ne my remarks to a few substantial reasons why women should vote.
 The grangers are keeping step with time. There Is scope at all times for the strong. No one is strong until he
 or she acts. no one Is wise until he or she thinks, and no one is patriotic until he or she assumes the duties of citizenship. Opportunities before us are so numerous that the possibilities which lie within them confuse us and we hardly lzno wwhich one to grasp and hastily follow to its goal. A great
 deal more is demanded of women to-
 day than in the past. We cannot es-
 cape our obligations. If only one
 woman in Connecticut wanted to vote
 I would be making the same speech I
 am tonight. l want votes to protect
 the woman in the home and the over eight million women out of the home
 working who should be Safeguarded
 better than they are at the present
