suffrage arguments. Il am not here,
she declared, ito tell you that women
are better than men. that we, as Vot-
ers, shall change wrong into right,
that we are going to do our duty as
women, even when we vote, nor to
make any other appeal than that of
Americas own challenge to the world.
If we believe the phrases our orators
love to roll upon their tongues
phrases dealing with equal opportun-
ity to all and special privilege to
none, swords of such high import as
government of and for and by the
people, if we want to make good in
the eyes of the world our ideals of
representative government, then we
must hasten to settle this problem of
equal tranchise-a problem that
should have been solved so years ago"
The conclusion of the address was
a fervent appeal to the women who
believe in suffrage to work harder
than ever to conclude the matter now

night at the Methodist church. Her
