MIDDLETOWN, n. Y, April 90
Middletown is still talking about the
loca. option fight, in which John Bar
lcycorn was beaten by $50 votes.
Middletown has the distinction of being
the only city in Orange County which
went dry, Newburgh and Port Jervis
voting the other way. Middletown is
feeling pretty fine over what she con-
siders her innate virtue, and the people
who voted the dry ticket can scarcely
bring themselves to talk Of anything
else.
Perhaps the most interesting figure
in the wet and dry battle in Middle
town was young woman, Miss Myrta
Gibbs, of 116 West Main Street, organ
izer of the I'd Assembly District for
the Woman Suffrage party. She led
the women to victory in the dry fight.
Miss Gibbs is scarcely over the voting
age, but she handled the dry campaign
with the skill of a politically battle
SCARED veteran.
Moreover, Miss Gibbs and the way
she led the women drys is an inter-
esting study of the American woman in
politics. In the 1915 woman suffrage
campaign they assigned her to dis
tricr where working people lived and
where every woman in the home had a
hard time to make financial ends meet
In this district she says she discovered
that the cause of poverty in many in
stances was the neighborhood saloon.
Again last fall in Goshen. when woman
suffrage and license were issues. ting
liquor people used as a slogan "Keep
the women at home and the saloons in
Goshen"
The Question Among the Women
II knew exactly what I was up
against" said Miss Gibbs to-day to

hundreds of the humble women in Mid
dletown, and when began the canvass
for the drys a few weeks ago the ques-
tion most frequently asked was, IL
register and vote, can | vote against
the wind was blowing. Middletown went
472 in favor of suffrage last fall. That
was the handwriting on the wall.
I'm the campaign just closed the dry
women voters had six original woman
suffrage district captains in ten of the
election districts. | know Of instances
where saloonkeepers' wives, feeling
that there was no future in the bust
ness and no future happiness for their
families, worked to put their husbands
out of business.
"The fact that the war has called so
many of our boys to the front (NIiss
Gibbs has two brothers in servce) also
made lot of difference in the cam
paign. We argued with the women that
while our soldiers needed wheat and
cereals in France the liquor people had
no right to be using those needed
cereals in the manufacture of booze.
Furthermore, I was chairman of the
thrift campaign in Middletown, and it
occurred to me that the best kind of
thrift work l could do was to help
