Tribute To Wilson

In few earnest words and with evil
dent emotion the Tennessean declared
that the greatest advocate of woman
suffrage in America and the greatest
leader the Democratic party has had
in its history was that man OF won
derful vision who lies stricken In the
White House. Woodrow Wilson"
Instant and prolonged applause fol-
lowed this tribute.
Another burst OF enthusiasm came
when Senator MetzeTott, following
Senator Mcclellan, arose and declared
that the greatest. truest and bravest
American in the last so years, Theo-
dore Roosevelt. was in favor of women
voting and that where he led, no Mary
lander need fear to follow"
Nearly all OF the members OF the
Legislature who remained IN Annapo-
lis attended the meeting and were
seated near the platform Mrs Hooker
presided and called upon Senator
Metzerott, as one of the earliest friends
Of suffrage in the State, TO introduce
the chief speaker of the evening. Sena-
tor Metzerott said that Maryland was
one OF the old-fashioned States, but
that the world was moving and that
Maryland never had Jagged in the
march Of progress.

Senator McKellar made an effective
speech, interspersing his remarks with
amusing stories. He said that suffrage
no longer was IAN academic or debata
BILE question; 1t was fact; that in
his opinion the suffrage amendment
would be ratified within three months.
and certainly within a year.
Then appealing to the members OF
the Legislature not to be afraid to vote
their honest conviction, he went on TO
tell them what might happen to them
politically If they fail to vote for wo-
man suffrage He said:
Whether you do OF. do not ratify in
Maryland. women will be voting when
you run again"
To illustrate this point. Senator Nc
Kellar told a story OF a young man
who asked a little negro who was
busily digging potatoes:
How much do you get for digging
those potatoesT The little negro re-
piled: 'Ah don't get nuthin' for dig
gin; but All gets H efn An don

for ratification" said Senator Nc Kel-
lar. but you'll sure get H from
the women II you don't vote that way"

three statesmen on the PLATFORM Me-
Kellar, Metzerott and Bartlett-ali
were old bachelors.

lieved that Dave Ferguson was the
actor to play the Rounder. The
actor himself had never thought of
vaudeville until vaudeville came and
got him and now he is pleased to
boast of himself as a vaudevillian. r
Ferguson's most recent successes in
musical comedy were with Very
Good Eddie" and THE Kiss Burglar"
In both of these, he played import
ant parts during the New York run.
There were two or more companies
of both of these successes, but Mr..
Ferguson's hit was scored in the origi-
