Following the play festival of the
Chautauqua ct the fair grounds Friday
evening, Miss L. Lola Walker of Penn
sylvania gave an address advocating
woman suffrage. Conditions were .
little difficult, as the tent had not arriv-
ed and no lights we're available, but Miss
Walker succeeded in interesting an audi
ence Of several hundred people. OF
course there Is little to be said in the
suffrage campaign, either on the one side
or the other, that can really be called
new, as the arguments are mainly famil.
lar to every one, but Miss Walker makes
effective use of the slogan
''democrscy"-which We are beginning
10 realize is q relative term-in her ap-
peal for the ballot for women. She was
logical and direct both in advancing her
Affirmative arguments and in refutiDg the
objections of the "antis," and her efforts
will undoubtedly be OF effect In the cam
paign. She was introduced by Albert
D. Park, who made brief talk advocat-
ng the adoption of the suffrage amend
ment now pending.
The suffrage tea given by Mrs. A. c.
Wheeler Friday afternoon proved to be
. most interesting event. About forty
guests assembled on the lawn, which
vas decorated with baskets of yellow
daisies, the suffrage color. Miss
Walker of Pennsylvania, . Representative
If the National Womsn's Suffrage
association, talked of woman suffrage
n general and spoke especially Of the
part which Maine women must play In
he fall campaign. Miss Walkers talk
vas interesting, convincing, safe and
Iane. After the lecture Mrs.. Wheeler
Ierved refreshments. She was assisted
u this by Mrs. Stewart, Miss Walker,
Ars. Carter and Mrs. Rankin. A
mmittee was formed to further the
interests Of woman suffrage In South
