Hon. W. R. Pattangall Makes
E Eloquent Arguments for
Equal Suffrage-Pulp Mills
Closed During Harper Fu-
neral

For the second time during the cam.
palgn that is being SO thoroughly
worked especially in this town, the
seating capacity fthe Star theatre
was taxed to capacity when Hon. VIII
liam r. Patangall Of Augusta gave. an
address upon the subject Of woman
suffrage. In an appropriate way the
Rev. e. NJ. Holman introduced the
speaker of the evening Although Mr..
Pattangalfs time was limited his A.
gument was most emphatic and he
added that in regard to his personal
interests, he recorded his first vote for
Yes 20 years ago and in comment
ing on the statement, "Womar's place
is at home" that is so commonly ar
gued by ants, he said that the home
would not be necessarily neglected anv
more than by social pastime in which
all ladies participate. Most sincerely
did he express his belief of what he
thought the women could do. even IN
time Of war, should this country need
them as they did in Belgium. And"
said Mr.. Pattangall, II will repeat this
again, that the two necessary qualities
for a voter are intelligence ard patrio-
tism. Are not women thusly quaE.
fied?"
Every bank corporation and manu-.
lacturlng plant in Maine has women
voters and Why may I ask. shouldn't
they go to the pollso" he continued.
He urged that women should be al.
lowed to vote in order to carry out the
truly democratic policy that equal
rights should prevail. .,
