what might have proved a serious ac .
cident. DIR. w. A. Wright met MIR.

and started to run. All was well as
long as the road was clear. but when

were met the aspect of things sudden
ly changed. The horse, III spite OF
careful refining, insisted on a head on
collision. When the horse and sleigh
suddenly stopped, the Doctor and Mr..
Craig continued their speed, each orc
being thrown completely over the first
pair of oxen, the Doctor landing under
one of the second yoke and Mr.. Craig
on the head of the other one. DR..
Wright had two ribs broken, but Mr..
Craig was unhurt, likewise the horse
and oxen. and the sleigh had but one
brace broken. Bystanders said like
accident couldn't occur again in a hun
dred time without more serious results.

old time liquor agency. His idea Is
that a liquor agency may be establish
ed in each county, but that the agent
would be only a forwarding agent and
that no liquors at any time should be
on the premises. He explained the
workings of his plan as follows:
If a person wanted liquor for medi-
cinaI mechanical or sacramental pur-
poses as the constitution defines the
law, the order would simply be given
to the agent and lie would forward it
to some liquor firm. together with an
agency tag. The liquor would be sent
with the identifying liquor agency tag
on the package and the sheriff of the
county would not seize it. because it
carried the tag, but without the tag
the liquor would be seized as is now
the case.
Senator Davies said that the wrong
Interpretation had been given to his
statement and that he had no wish to
again resurrect the infamous liquor
agency that some years ago was in
vogue.

port the proposed constitutional amend
ment giving the women a right to vote
in Maine and while / shall be very
anxious until the votes are counted. I
don't think 1 ever felt so sanguine Of
success as I do at this moment. I am
here in the interest of woman suffrage
and mothers pensions, both big meas
ures for Maine women, but should We
be defeated our campaign starts the day
after such defeat"
Mrs Whitehouse was accompanied by
Mrs. Frank w. Freeman of Portland. a
prominent Suffragette I'VE don't need
to picket the State House." Mrs. White
house laughingly said, because Gov.
MilliSen Is with us as he showed in
his message and we have carefully
checked up both Senate and House and
I can see no reason for the measure
not having a passage.
Besides the great number. Of Re-
publcans who will stand with US. We
have many loyal Democrats who will
support the measure and I believe the
people have at last begun to regard
as an expedient measure. Woman Suf-
frage. When 1t comes to the peoples

defeat us, but we shall work as we
| have never worked before and I be-
lieve the people of Maine will stand by
us at last and give us the right Of
suffrage"
Mrs. Whitehouse was asked what she
thought Of the picketing Of the White
House at Washington and If she did
not think 1t a silly thing to do. She
said 1t might have been silly and may
not have done a great deal of actual
good, but 1t is our way Of advertising,
keeping before the people all the time
the fact that educated women should
be put on equal footing with men and
given the right to vote with them at
all elections.
l saw 5000 aliens in Chicago made cit
izens. They could not speak the lam
guage even, yet they had been given
the right to make vote and help make
our laws. Why shouldn't women be
given the same right? All we ask is a
chance to help you men. We believe we
can be of mutual assistance and if given
the right to vote, taking the last Illinois
election as a basis, 10000 women in Maine
would vote at the first election following
their right Of suffrage.
Don't you think the men have given
you women square deal?" was asked.
Yes, 1 think the men have been fine to
US, but that isn't the point. No man
can represent us voting any more than
they can in our homes. How can man
represent his wife or sister? 1t can't be
done"
Mrs. Whitehouse spoke briefly on moth
ers' pensions, saying it is very essential
to have such a law passed She had sta
tistics at her fingertips and showed how
mothers who have to earn living and
bring UP children would be benefited by
this law. She said she would undoubt-
edly appear in favor Of it and would
speak for the bill before the committee.
AS to actual figures on how many
would vote for suffrage. Mrs. Whitehouse
said she had not checked up, but one Of
the Portland representatives who stood
nearby said they could count on 1o1 IN
the House and that two-thirds of the
Senate were in favor.
