No wonder the Tennessee women put
suffrage through to victory. Daughters
of fighting men, they knew how to give

women will do their political part just rs
lovally as they have always upheld their
home states institutions Registration may

most women are adaptable. One member of
the Delaware Equal Suffrage Association,
Miss Mary de You. may he able to re-
gister at her own home, the registration
booth occupying the garage building on
