Talks at Meeting of NOnparti-
san WOmen's Club Held
in Bismarck

June.
Mrs. C. G. Boise, president Of the
Bismarck Club, presided at the meet
ing last evening and following a
short musical program introduced
Mrs. Fisher.
Mrs. Fisher opened her address by
saying that the Clubs had achieved IA
great victory at the recent primaries
but that it was not sufficiently great
that a single member could afford to
lay back for day but each needed
to work as never before. She eulo-
gizcd Robert M. LaFollettc for the
stand he had taken during the World
War especially his courage to act
according to the dictates of his own
conscience. His singular victory in
his candidacy for U. S.. Senator from
Wisconsin proved his nobleness and
qualifications for a leader, she said
Mrs. Fisher made "A strong appeal
for her organization to apply their
Christian teachings in the political
field and endeavors. Mrs. Fisher is
strongly opposed to the military
training of the youth of the nation
and this was emphasized during her
speech
In closing she made an appeal for
the club to arouse the citizenry from
it's lethargic state and help them
realize their responsibility as citi-
zens of great nation.
Mr.. and Miss Lamphe favored the
audience with number of musical
selections, which were greatly appre-
ciatcd.
