LARGE CROWD HEARS
MRS. 0. D. ELEPHANT
nti-Suffrage Address Was
Interesting to Audience
Last Night;

One of the largest crowds seen re-
Gently at a political gathering in this
city turned out last night and filed
the Grand Theatre even to standing
room to hear Mrs. o. D. Oliphant Of
New Jersey, deliver her anti.suffrage
address.
In an able and interesting talk she
attacked the arguments Of the suffrage
advocates and before the meeting
was concluded she had converted many
temporarily to her cause. Mrs. Oil.
plant was introduced by Ex-Governor
A. B. Fleming. whose wife is one Of
the honorary presidents Of the state
anti.suffrage organization.
Mrs. Oliphant. in her address which
consumed two hours, beginning at
o'clock denied the charges OF the suf.
fragists that she was supported by the
liquor interests of the country. She
pointed out that the failure OF woman

good in California. Colorado and the
other states that now nave equal suf-

rather remain at home and devote
their energies to home life rather than
participate in political affairs.
Speaking Of the relations between
men and women and their attitude to.
ward government Mrs. Oliphant said:
THE interest Of classes differ but the
interests Of man and woman are identi.
cal. Perhaps the woman carries the
heavier responsibility because she
bears. rears and trains the future re.
public Of this nation. A nation will
never rise higher than home life. In
the hands Of the American woman rest
the destiny of this nation for she
moulds and trains the character of
the future citizens Of this republic
and ! contend tonight that It is a far
greater; far finer service to put the
quality into the future citizenship than
to walk down the street on election
day and vote for the alderman OF your
ward. We cannot have both. We con-
tend that women contribute more to
the state in service that men cannot
render and that It Is for the best inter-
est OF the state that she concentrate
all her interests along these lines
which she alone can contribute"

Insurance rate agents are in the
city today looking into the fire haz.
ards about the city and how best the
firemen can handle them. The rate
OF insurance In Fairmont which has
paid fire department. two fire trucks.

no paid department other than a SIS

wagons and horses. The reason for
this Is not known and 1t is this diff
ference In rates that has caused the
city commission to investigate tne.
matter.
Tomorrow is pay day at the fire de.

roll this month will be one of the lar.
gest In several months on account Of
the extra amount Of work on the
