ardous campaign to carry the refereh-
dunn at the polls next September. and
SO far as we are concerned it will lie
campaigl without bitterness
Woman suffrage has passed the ex-
perimental stage-it has proved itself
good. Since Wyoming granted equal
suffrage to it's women in 1859 the prog
ress has been slow but sure. until to-
day. II states and the territory of Alas
ka have full suffrage and three states.
Illinois. North Dakota and Ohio, have
Presidential and municipal suffrage. We
believe that as Maine has led in other
progressive legislation it will lead in be-
ing the first state of the Atlantic sea-
board to grant suffrage to women on
equal terms with men.
We desire to express our apprecia-
ton of the splendid service rendered US
by the members of the Legislature of
both parties who have by their votes
made possible the submission of this
referendum to the people, and we con-
hdently expect that many of these men
will support the referendum at the polls.
Our thanks are due also to the rep
resentatives of the press for their I'M
failing courtesy and for the generous
space which their papers have accorded
US during our legislative campaign

1t was a session of routine business

probably to have a chance to steal
over to the House and hear the elo-
quence displayed by the proponents
and opponents of the woman suffrage
question, which was under debate.
Senator Davies order that on and
after Wednesday, Feb. % bills shall
not be tabled unless assigned to a
special day was passed.
Numerous bills We're passed to be

1opAY's BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it is entirely
and properly cleansed each time by
the use of a really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty of the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense, by
dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist, in a cup of hot water This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead of just the top of the
head. This when rubbed into the scalp
and onto every strand of hair, chemi-
cally dissolves all impurities. 1t is
very soothing and cooling in its action,
as well as beneficial to both scalp and
hair. After rinsing out the lather SO
created, you will find the scalp is fresh,
clean and free from dandruff, while the
hair dries quickly and evenly, develop
ing a bright luster and soft fluff
ness that makes it seem very heavy

Mrs. Balentine
Rejoices in the
Suffrage Victory

Mrs. Arthur T. Balentine, president of
the Maine Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton, on Wednesday evening gave out the
suffrage cause achieved Wednesday m
the Maine House of Representatives:
The passage of the equal Suffrage re-
solve by a vote of 1l3 for and 35 against
in the lower House of the Maine LegIs-
lature and it's assurance of passage In
the Senate gives the voters of Maine
their first opportunity to decide whether
they will amend the State constitution SO
as to grant suffrage to women upon the
same terms as men. A large number of
considerations convince me that the con-
stitution will be so amended. Maine has
recently passed a great deal of legisla ton
of much more radical nature than equal
suffrage, such as direct primaries, the
initiative and the referendum, workmen' $
compensation and a drastic 54-hour law.
Maine has always been progressive but.
progressive now as she ever was in the
past.
1t cannot be said Of Maine that all her
progressive people have gone west Hav-
ing been through a campaign in Califor-
MIA | know that political conditions here
are much more promising than they were
in California in 1911 Woman's suffrage
was the beginning of progressive legisla-
ton in California here is will be the
climax. The enemies Of suffrage were
firmly entrenched in California: here It
will be necessary to import most of them
and we known more about the opposition
than we did In California in 1911.
"A majority of the women Of this State
desire enfranchisement. OF course | re-
fer to an articulate majority. The wo-
men who have never expressed an opin-
ion in the matter cannot be counted for
or against. This majority composed of
the suffragists of Maine is already well
organized and the campaign is well
started. Maine will imNortalize herself
by becoming the first New England equa,
suffrage state and the first eastern equal
suffrage state. Maine State pride is no.
going to permit her to trail along at the
end of a procession which she can jusi
as well lead"

MAINE w. c. T. L. REJOICES
WITH SUFFRAGE SISTERS

Mrs. Althea G. Quimby, president CT the
Maine Womans Christian Temperance
Union. was one of the first TO rejoice in
the Wednesdays suffrage vote in the
House of Representatives.
In speaking of the position Of the Maine
w. G. T. n. in reference to the passage
Of the suffrage measure Mrs. Quimby
said: THE vote in the House is most
gratifying. The Maine Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union has for many
years upheld the banner of equal rights
for women. Indeed, when the cause was
altogether unpopular our organization
espoused 1t and the sentiment, nodded by
the gentle hands of our leader Mrs. Ste
vens, and borne forward by the quiet
steadfast women of our union, has grown
to it's present proportions of strength
and popularity.
Meetings in the interest of equal rights
are held frequently by our local organ
izations, petitions have been diligently
circulated, great meetings and powerful
hearings have been arranged by US, and
awakening of the manhood and woman
mood or our state.
Total abstinence and prohibition are
our basic principles and claim our first
allegiance. We do not exist as a society
for the avowed purpose of giving the
ballot to women; but the logic of events
and the calm claims of justice cause us
to be loyal and aggressive in the uphold
ing of the rights of our sex and in secur-
ing their full possession.
'In my annual address at Lewiston last
September / called attention to the very
favorable prospects of a referendum OH
equal suffrage for the women of Maine
at the hands of the 18th Leg culture. The
Maine w. c. T. L. will at this time 40
it's part in the campaign before US that
the wise and heroic work of the past
may eliminate in we'll earned victory.
And victory It will be. In this ! be-
lieve that Maine will again lead the East
as she has for many years led the alton
and the world in the greatest moral re-
form of the day.
1.-THE Maine w. c. T. u. will bring to
the electorate Of the State 5000 thoughtful
women with minds trained by years Of
study and careful consideration of those
subjects that vitality affect both the State
and nation"
