The National Suffrage Leader
Addresses Delegates and
Makes Impression.
SUFFRAGE PLANK MAY WIN
State Leaders Predict Thai
Amendment Will Garry
by Big Majority.


PNltKERSBURG. August Mrs,
Carrie Chapman Gait, president OF
the National American Woman Suf-
fragc Association, addressed tho
Democratic state convention in this
city this afternoon. No woman in
the history of tho state has received
SO enthusiastic a greeting at the
hands Of a political gathering as did
the brilliant head OF the equal suf-
fragc movement. Mrs. Gait was in
fine voice and spirits and her splen-
did stage presence added to the inn
prcssvcncss of the message which
she delivered
The speaker was granted thirty
minutes in which to present her case
to the convention and she made so
good use of her time that when she
had finished many urged her to con
tinur longer Every point made by
the distinguished orator was greeted
with applause and at the end she re-
ccy"d an ovation such as has never
before been accorded to any but
presidential candidates.
by the courtesy of the state com
mittcr and the delegates large
block of seats were reserved for the
sutlragists, who gathered from all
parts of the state. Their presence
added the needed touch Of color to
the usually sombre aspect Of n state
convention Of men. They we're full
OF enthusiasm, but II was observed
that they did not lead in the remark
able demonstration given the speak
er. There was no need of a leader.
The ovation was as spontaneous as
1t was enthusiastic. 1t began among
the delegates and was taken up by
the vast audience and continued for
several minutes
Old time attendants ut state con-
vcntons said they had never seen
like 1t since the war and
the younger generation of politicians
looked on in amazemcnt and ended
by Joining in the demonstration. The
officers Of the women's state associ-
alton and the members OF the suf-
frage campaign committee are great
ly pleased at the reception given
their national leader. Mrs. Ellis A.
Yost, of MorgantOwn, state chair
man, said that with woman suffrage
endorsed by the national platforms
of both great parties, and such
reception as was today given to Mrs.
Gait, there Is no longer doubt that
the pending amendment will carry in
West Virginia. 1t will be remem-
bercd, she added, that the Republic
can state convention was wildly en-
over similar speech by
Mrs. Antoinette Funk In June, so 1t
looks now as II the amendment must
carry unanimously.

over at the Majestic for the first
half of the week there is a bill that
is made up of quite a bit of variety,
and throughout the bill there is note
of pleasing quality from clever work
on the part of the performers. The
bill opens with a comedy bicycle act
by Brosius and Brown. The work
these two do is sufficient to make them
welcome attraction for it differs
quite a bit from the ordinary run of
these acts. The Glover Leaf Trio is
listed as a fun making song group

intense interest how other women got
