With the Grange hall filed to capacity, Miss Lucy J. Price and John H. Trumbull. senatorial nom- inee from the fifth district, gave in teresting speeches last night. The speakers were introduced by Mrs. Clara Usher, chairman of the re- publican wonen's committee, who presided at the rally.
 Miss Price began her speech by explaining woman's duty as voter and why she should vote the repub- lican ticket. She explained several points on the League of Nations and named many of them that would in- jure the country's welfare if adopt ed. She spoke highly of Senator Harding and pointed out that he was the man for the presidential office and would undoubtedly be elected. In mentioning the fact that Harding was absent on several occasions at the meetings of the legislature, she explained that his duties on the ship ping board kept him away the great CT part of the time.
 That the women are taking an active part in this political campaign is clearly seen. as fully three-quar- ters of the assembly were women.
 John H. Trumbull thanked the people for their support and inter- est in the present campaign. He said that as this is the first time the women have been granted the right to vote he would explain the funda- mental parts of the political situa- tion. He urged them to make a study of the present parties and their prin- ciples and cast their vote as their mind dictates and not as the fam fly voted. MT. Trumbull gave a most interesting outline of the steps in the political parties. Starting with the small town elections and caucuses, MT. Trumbull gave practically every step involved in the election of off, cers and continued their rise far into the state election and the national conventions. His explanations of the different parts in each election was interesting and something which the average man voter is not very we'll acquainted with or posted on, while the woman voter knows practically nothing about. He thoroughly ex- plained the voting machines and their relative parts.
