Surprise at Politics.

Bursts of applause followed each
point made by Mrs, Reese and the other
ladies' who preceded her. There was a
hush after she read the plan.
Then Mrs. S. j. Ellis, former presi-
dent of the Memphis Equal Suffrage
league, which office she resigned to
accept the position of e-chairman
of the Citizens league, arose from her
place in one of the boxes and protested
against the proposed action.
She said she voiced the protest as a
representative of thousands of women
of Memphis who were not present at
assured, would not approve Of the ac-
ton proposed by Mrs, Reese. She
called upon Bolton Smith, chairman of
the executive board OF the Citizens
league, which recently put a ticket in
the field for mayor and city commits
s%ioners, to explain more fully why the
proposed plan should be opposed by the
women as well as by the men who arr
working for better civic conditions IN
Memphis.

Citizens league was formed, and for
what purpose, He said that every
member of the league was in full SYM

Reese and the other speakers, and that

Mr.. smith then merely said that he
believed that such a movement. as that
proposed by Mrs, Reese would result
in dividing the forces working for law
and order and good government, there
by giving the politicians the opportunity
they are seeking to elect a ticket of
politicians and defeat the forces ar
rayed for good government,
Mrs. Reese then called for an aye
and no vote on the motion. Seemingly,
the meeting was evenly divided. She
made no decision but called for a rising
vote on the resolution. There was a
great deal OF confusion, during which
Milton H, Hunt from the floor moved
to lay the resolution on the table. DR..
A. b. Williams called for the previous
question.
Mrs. Reese responded that no reso-
luton was before the house, hat her
plan was simply submitted for adop-
ton or rejection. Mr.. Hunt then at
tempted to move to lay the plan on
the table, but Mrs. Reese again ruled.
that a direct vote must be taken for
or against 1t.
She then for the second time called
for a rising vote, and about three
fourths of the women present rose, and
possibly half the men,
Two or three women rose In oppoSi-
! ton, but apparently those opposed de-
cided merely to signify their opposition
by not voting and the plan was de-
clared carried.
Back to People.
After the vote, Mrs, Reese asked
those in the audience who approved of
the plan and who would promise per-
sonally to work for II and assist in
the ward meetings, to sign slips which
were passed through the audience.
about 200 OF the slips were returned to
the stage before the audience dispersed.
Speaking of the purposes OF her or
g~anization Mrs, Reese said Monday
| morning that she and the women asso-
| oiated with her, believe that the plan
for nominating candidates will bring
the nominations directly to the people
| themselves, and will do more to arouse
the voters than any movement that
has taken place recently. She Will call
a meeting, or get into touch with those
who signed the cards, as soon as pos
