Miss Mabel Vernon, national secretary
Of the woman's party, and Miss Lou
Daniels of Grafton are completing the
arrangements for the addresses which
will take place in the county courthouse
Saturday evening, at which they, with
Miss Agnes Morey of Boston, will speak.
Misses Daniels and Vernon were both
Ipickets about the White House and tell
some very interesting stories of their ex
lperiences, some of which they may pos
sibly tell their audience Saturday even
ing. To-day they visited the State
House, extending an invitation to Gov.
ii. T. Graham, State Auditor Benjamin
Gates, Commissioner of EdrGation M. b.
| iillegas, Fuel Administration Executive
Secretary Mason S. Stone, exLieut. Gov.
Hale X. Darling and other prominent
persons about the building to attend the
meeting and discussed with some of them
the chances of inducing Senators Page
and Dillingham; to vote for suffrage when
| it comes up in February. Both the wom-I
en- feel well pleased that Vermont is the
| first state in New England to make any
advance towards suffrage, although it is
but municipal suffrage, and they regret
that it will be necessary to wait so long
before an amendment to the constitution
can take place. From the general APP
pearance of both representatives of the
woman party, one would hardly get the
impression that either would do picket |
duty. but Miss Daniels served her time
in prison, being released Just before |
Thanksgiving She las been in the lime
light before, for she has refused twice
to pay taxes on her property in Grafton
one of which times her bank stock was
sold by the town authorities for collec
ton of taxes. She has not yet recovered
it, although she expects to; but says II
she does not it has gone for the good of
the cause. Neither of the women Is of
that aggressive nature which has marked
many of the representatives OF suffrage
who have come to Vermont but they
take the issue more as a matter of right
and Justice to the women of the country.
They are in hopes of securing Senator
Pages vote, but Senator Dillingham's
persistence on state rights is a stieker to
their party to overcome.
