The mayors life was saved when

The mayor was rushed TO a hospital

Some years ago a negro was walk

from the depot to his prospective ho-

other. Suddenly hand was laid up
on the valise, and the pleasant face
Of stalwart young man looked into
that of the negro.
"Prctty heavy, brother. Suppose
you let me take one. Pm going your
way"
The negro protested, but the young
man had already taken hold of the

several blocks, talking like old friends
until they reached the hotel.

LANDSLIDE FOR
SUFFRAGE in
THIS STATE
So Say Suffrage Association
Workers Who Have Com
pleted 1000 Mile Trip

The Vermont legislators have been
for the most part friends Of the Suf-
frage movement but startling
change in the sentiment of many who
have hitherto been unfliendlv was
noted last week when committee
representing the suffrage interests of
Vermont called on a majority of the
legislators to ascertain their views on
special session for the purpose of
ratifying the Federal Suffrage
amendment.
Men who had hitherto been SEEM
ingly unalterable in their views Of
suffrage turned about and showed
themselves its warmest friends. A
trip of nearly 1000 miles was made
throughout almost every county in
the state and poll of Legislative
opinion taken. The result surprised
even the suffrage workers themselves.
In one case Il prominent Senator
shook the suffrage workers. hand OH
leaving and declared: give been
convinced l ought to support this
thing because I've had it demon
stratcd that my wife is better cit
izen than | am. IN come to a spec
ial session and vote for the federal
amendment and III pay my own cX
penses."
What has brought this change
about is a question but that the
change has come cannot be denied.
Some men state frankly they have
been won over because Of the work
which the women performed in the
late war, emitting them to full par
ticipation in the affairs of Lhei" gov
eminent if they are equally affected
by great national crisis or the results
Of disagreement. And an equal
ly astonishing fact brought out by
the canvas was the character Of the
men supporting the movement. The
representatives of the little towns far
back in the hills were as posted on
the gooo effects of suffrage in prac-
tice in other states, perhaps more so,
than representatives which came
from the larger towns.
1t was astonishing to drive for
miles to reach some little hamlet and
find some farmers home where the
wife took as much interest, almost, as
the husbands themselves. This may
be due, of course, to the interest nat
urally taken in civic affairs in the
household where the head of the fam
lily was state legislator. But the
fact remains that there is an entirely
new day dawniag for suffrage, in
Vermont, day in which the idea of
the old-fashioned "suffragette" is no
longer associated with the ideals of
the cause as advocated at present.
