Her Birthday Party

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: November was my
birthday and it was great day, wasn't il? Not be-
cause it was my birthday have had lots Of them
but because it was the first time that woman could
vote on an equality with man.
I did not get to do as much as should have liked
to have done to help win the election but Of course
every little bit helps. went to the polls and voted
for every League candidate the ticket And I
fixed up fine dinner, supper and lunch for my hus-
band, Andrew Hegardt, who was inspector of cleo
ton, that he could work well all day and night.
Just think of it, of America, the first time
that could vote for governor and president Of the
U. S. A.! I thought that my hand was going to
tremble when went to make the "X" for those high
officials, but it didn't.

Socials Raise Funds

Nonpartisan Leader: The first thing the
women Of our club did to help the cam
paign was to raise some money. This was
done by giving two socials- one an ice
cream social and the other pie social.
The proceeds from these, together with
the money we already had in the treasury,
made the sum of $50, which was gladly
contributed to the campaign fund.
Then they got busy getting women to
attend the club meetings and succeeded
very well. They talked to every one they
came in contact with about the existing
conditions and the remedy to be found in
the Nonpartisan league program.
Through their efforts three new clubs
were formed, the women spending several
days at this work
When the candidates commenced their
speaking tours the women made all ar
fangements and paid all expenses for
their meeting in our town.
And as the last days Of the campaign
rolled along many Of the women worked
with the crews in canvassing the township
and did their work so well that many
women who had not intended to vote at all
went to the polls and cast their votes for
the Independent candidates.

This page is devoted this week to the
prize winning letters written by
League women, telling their expert
ences in working for the League in the
campaign just finished. There were
more of these letters than could be
printed and some Of the women had so
many experiences to tell that we had to
cut their accounts down slightly to fit
the page. One spirit breathes through
all the letters, and that is the determi-
nation never to quit until the last bat
tie is won in the fight of the common
people against organized greed and
selfshness. It is a wonderful spirit
that the League women have shown,
especially when it is remembered that
this year is for most of them their first
chance to participate actively in poll
tics. What will be the outcome in 1922,
when we should have thousands Of
women workers, where we had
hundreds in this last campaign?

here it is: On August 19 invited the
women of Round Prairie and Little Sauk townships
to my home We organized that night women's
club for both townships. Our Little Sauk club num-
bered only five at this meeting, but by persistent
effort the part of our president, Mrs. Akervik,
and myself our club has grown to 40.
The;next day after this joint meeting went as a
booster into Leslie township and helped organize
club there and week later we organized a club in
Reynolds township.
Our club had first planned on giving certain
amount for the campaign fund, but later decided
that we could do more for the by interesting
the farm women of other townships and organizing
them into clubs. So with president we went
into Kandota township and organized enthusi-
astic club there. "A week later went with other
boosters into Gordon township and started club.
Then went with members from the Round Prairie
club and assisted it in forming club in Burnhan-
vile township making six clubs in all to the credit
of Little Sauk Club No. 53.
I have assisted in 12 schoolhouse meetings for
other clubs and 10 meetings of our own club

Organized Twenty Clubs

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: To me The work Of
aiding in getting the of the seventh congress
sional district of Minnesota organized has been
interesting "job." It started when Mr.. Ashmun
came to Candy to take charge Of the Candy Press,
a farmer-owned paper.
Our second day here brought inquiries as to when
we could out into this or that township to
organize Women's Nonpartisan clubs. Fortier
township was first field and through the efforts
of Representative Lars Olson and his wife organ
lied club there the first week in October. Next
came calls from Hammar, Norman Burr, Clarkfeld,
Minnesota Falls, Lisbon, Wood Lake, Posen, Werg-
land, Hanley Falls and Sioux agency.
The demands on the editors time made it impos-
sible to go to organization meetings which could
not be taken of after Office hours, but H. J.
Hauge of Clarkfeld offered his time and car.

and the only opportunity we had to get
away from "Lizzie" and muddy roads that
entire week was to drive back 40 miles to
attend Kvale meeting in Candy. 81
We usually drove all day so as to make
arrangements for the evening meetings and
never did we call for meeting but what
we were able to stage one on short notice
and were able to organize club with more
than the required number of members.
Out in Sioux agency, through the efforts
of @. M. Aarseth of Echo, we had happy
surprise. On arriving there early in the
morning to make arrangements for an
evening meeting we found that while we
had been organizing over in Posen town.

Falls had the evening before succeeded in
starting the work with IA members.
Our Candy club is a source of much
pleasure. We are getting more members
at every meeting and aim to keep up the
work. Would urge all the clubs in the
state to do likewise
We came here total strangers. Now we
feel that we have friends all over the coun-

1t now appears that this is by no

management assumed that Lehigh
would wish 70 play on the same
relative date as this years game
at Morgantown, l.. e., October 1st,
but Lehigh demurred and asked for
late October date which could
not be granted. Lehigh then pro-
ceeded to fill up her whole sched-

glnia finds herself obligated by her
contract to play Lehigh, but APP
parently not wanted. 1t is certain
that West Virginia would DO glad
to avoid the trip to Bethlehem but
is anxious to I'LL her contract no
