by Miss Ames, guest Of the WomenS
Club, who spoke TO the women
yesterday on their work as citizens
Miss Ames believed 1t was not ne
cessary for women to vote the
straight party ticket, feeling sure 1t
were better to select honest up
right candidates regardless OF par
ty utilization. The man with The
high principles and best character
could do more toward lettering
conditions than q man Of opposite
leanings. She said 1t was neces-
sary for all women to vote now
they have the opportunity, and no
matter how anxious women are
TO avoid voting there will be no get
ting out Of 1t. Women, Miss Anes
believed, can do much for the world
in the new time now arrived with
out In any way detracting from
their duties as good wives and
mothers. 1t is pure nonsense to
believe voting will make women
coarse or unwomanly.
Miss Ames spoke in emphatic
style with pleasing manner and
her words were received with In
terest.
