expressed the hope that every voter in
the state would support Mrs. Boole.
About 500 persons attended the meet
ing. There were many men in the
audience.
While it had been widely advertised
that the topic for general discussion
would be "The Embossed Voter in Poll
tics" the meeting really resolved itself
into an enthusiastic demonstration in
support of Mrs. Bodies candidacy for
the Senate. A third speaker was Mrs.
William H. Good. Miss Sarah Collier

that on his own initiative he set the

the figure asked by the national COM
