"The coroner and jury did their full
duty with the evidence before them

have been different and conflicting

"We have been quiet all summer
she says, "but we are not going to be
quiet any more. We have only eight
weeks left. Next Monday the lid will
be off. There won't be a night with
out street meetings.
Nobody with a hobby will be al
lowed to speak for us, nobody who IS
a Socialist, or a pacitist, or any other
kind of an list but sutfragist. Every
would-be speaker will be put through
the third degree and only the best will
be allowed to speak for us. We shall
have no one on the street corners who
would not be acceptable as a speaker
at a parlor meeting. We have two
hundred speakers pledged already"
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars was pledged to the New York
campaign at the suffrage convention
in Albany last fall OF that sum
100000 has alreay been raised and
spent. The money has gone for head
quarters rent, salaries of clerks,
printing and mailing. Some of the
money came in Jumps OF $4,000 from
wealthy friends Of the cause and some
in tiny bits from working women.
None of it has been paid to the Off
GERS of the party, all Of whom donate
their services.

going to stop working for suffrage ,"
The question is asked just to tease

"No, but we aren't going to lose"
