 There was a general discussion all day Thursday regarding the situation the ire department is in relative to being 1 without ladders for use at fires. Unless something is done this condition will remain, as the voters have refused Ito make the appropriation necessary to buy

Ac | cording to Mrs. Bartlett, there are re- publicans in this state who have been
 unfavorable to the cause, who will learn the power of the woman vote, and that. before iong Mrs Bartlett
 says that she hopes to see women in the state legislature and, with a laugh

 was in office she would be heard from l and would do something more on either the floor of the house or the senate than just second the n4otion." Miss Abbie H.
