'The Susan B. Anthony amendment
has decidedly not been defeated" stat
ed Mrs. Gertrude Hunter, the charm
ing suffrage worker and national or
ganizer, who was in the city today
and was interviewed by a reporter of
The Free Press.
The fact of the postponement of
the amendment is a tribute to the
power of the women, and shows the
fear of the congressman opposed to it
to make an unfavorable record be-
fore the next election, as the women
voters of the west absolutely refuse
to support any candidate opposed to
suffrage, and the five hundred dele
gates of the 100000 women voters
OF the suffrage states have been so
instructed.
ANY congressman who says that
the amendment cannot now be passed
by congress because of it's postpone
ment to, December IA, is doing an un-
friendly act, and may be known at
once as being opposed. The women
voters of the west will stand on party
action, and they hold the balance of
power for the next national election .
Mrs. Hunter was on her way to de-
liver addresses at Pipestone, st.
(. James, and Luverne, and will explain
to the women just what has been done
in congress. She has been suffra-
gist all her life, and was for some
time engaged in newspaper work.
