Much interest is being displayed in the
coming of Mrs Nellie L. McClung of
Albert, Can, who is one of the most
prominent suffragists in the movement,
who will speak at the Tutwiler tomorrow
evening, writer. speaker and politicians,
Mrs. McClung has approached suffrage
from every angle and has become IA
NOUS for her ability not only to con-
vert ants and to organize suffragists,
but also to persuade legislatures that
woman suffrage is the great and imme-
date issue in Canadian politics. Canada
now has equal suffrage in three prov
inces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta, and to Mrs. McClung it is said
goes a large share of the credit for
these suffrage victories. Nor does she
stop when the vote is won. Immediately
after the suffrage bill passed the AL
berta legislature last April, Mrs. Nc
Chung called a meeting of the women of
the province at her home in Edmon-
ton. where they voted within a few hours
of their Acknowledgement to submit new
IL VS. to the government concerning equal
parental rights and other things of vital
interest. 1t is said that Mrs. McClung
began to work actively for suffrage four
years ago during the conservative party
regime in Manitoba This party was
put out of power soon after that and
the liberals were installed. Mrs. McClung
and the Political Equality league
straightaway reminded them of theil
promise to grant woman suffrage, and
after a petition was signed by hundreds
of women, suffrage was granted tc
women for the first time in the history
Of Canada. Mrs. McClung is we'll known
For her unfailing sense of humor and
good nature. An anti once wrote by
way of tribute to her: II do not care
the least fraction of farthing for g
vote, and would consider the franchise 9
burden, but if Mrs McClung would like
votes, she should have a whole basket
of them, tied with pink ribbon and &C.
companied with Killarney roses"
