quaint costumes of the women of the
SOS while Mines. T. w. Maddux, G.
B. Perkins, P. S. Drury and L. J.
Hollands represented the modern wo-
man voter. The arguments on both
sides sparkled with wit or grew
grave in the eloquent and spirited
periods so sincerely developed by the
representative women ably contest
ing for place in the minds Of the as
tute judges, DR.. I. w. Cooper, H. c.
Greenwood, w. H. Seavey. These
gentlemen realized the question was
a weighty and far-reaching one, as
we'll as difficult and its settlement
somewhat embarrassing under the
immediate circumstance of environ
ment and the amenities of the occa-
sion, but finally gave a verdict ia
voring the affirmative; mainly, how
ever, because the accusation that
their opponents were wearing short
skirts so they could run" better as
candidates for office, was not met by
the negative, Judge Seavey stated.
Mr.. c. B. Perkins, president Of
the Kiwanians, expressed apprecia-
tion of the courtesy extended the
club, and speeches were aluso made
by Judge P. 2. Jones and Messrs. 8.
D. McMullen and NJ. J. Hale.
The applause by the responsive au-
dience that was inspired by Mrs. Bra
dy in her opening address, punctua-
ted the eloquence, the satire, the hu-
NOR or the facts presented by the la
dies throughout the evening and per-
meated the entire program with Its
approving expression.
The achievement of thA Mntho.
dist ladies in providing the delicious
supper under the leadership of Mines.
Henry Meyer and ]. NJ. Wood was
highly commended.
Mrs. Brady voiced appreciation for
the use Of the sub story by the
League.
The occasion was in all respects
novel, enjoyable and successful, re-
fiecting credit on the Voters League
and winning favor for it.
