Women OF the W c. T. L. generally
are intelligent persons, capable Of judg-
ing for themselves who they will vote
for without being dictated to-" Miss
Adaline Denny of the Christian citizen
ship committee Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, declared in a state
ment today protesting against the Re
publican slate, which was given out by
Mrs. E. Fl. SchmOe at the meeting Of
the same Christian citizenship committee.
Miss Denny said: "a called business
meeting of the ". c. 7. L. was held
Tuesday afternoon at which l, with six
others, out of several hundred members
IN Marion County was present Mrs.
Schmoe being one of the seven, had the
ticket made up to suit herself before she
came to the meeting and read the names
OF her candidates several times to the
rest of US and they were commented on
as she read them off, but there was no
vote taken on any of them and no gen
eral expression as to the ticket
Not one Of the other six members
indicated that they were going to vote
for Beveridge, but one Of the members
did tell the rest that she would not vote
for him but that she intended to vote
for New.
Mrs SchmOe has taken a very great
liberty in speaking. as she has, for the
W. c. 7. L. of Marion county, for she
knows that she did not voice the senti-
ment OF the Union at large in giving
to the public the statement she did.
Women Of the W. c. T. L. generally are
Intelligent persons, capable of judging
for themselves who they will vote for
without being dictated to. and I think
they will show It at the polls next
Tuesday"
In reply to Miss Denny's letter Mrs.
Schmoe said that she had received her
list from Mrs. W. W. Reedy, and that
it was the list indorsed by the Anti
Saloon League.
OBJECTS TO LIST
WITHOUT NEW.
Mrs. Reedy declared that she did not
know that Mrs Schmoe intended to make
this list public, and that she objected TO
the fact that Harry s. News name had
not been included in q as he was also
among the candidates approved by the
Anti-Saloon League.
In support OF Mrs. Schmoe, Mrs. Alice
VI. Free, chairman Of the citizenship
committee. made the following statement:
In justice to the Marion County W.
c. 7. [. I wish to make clear the state
ment made in the letter from Miss Ada
line Denny. The slate referred to by
Miss Denny was not dictated by Mrs.
f. H Schmoe but was selected from
the list preferred and recommended by
E. S. Shumaker OF the Anti-SaloOn
League and was indorsed by the citizen
ship committee Of the county w C. T.
L. as dry candidates"
second objection to the announced
slate was made by Laura r. Leonard.
who said: The statement that Albert
T. Beveridge is the choice Of the W. c.
r. l. must not be allowed to stand. No
doubt he has some friends in the white
riblon band. 1t would be too bad IL he
has none. but I know one ". c. T. L.
and some followers who do not indorse
him. The old saying holds good at the
present time You are known b. the
company you keep"
The statement is signed by Mrs Leon
ard. as president of the Zerelda Wallace
NJ. c. I. L.
