Thirty have come forward so far, two or three of them being childrer, the rest adulte, Heveral teams of christian workers are vieiting and praying from house to house, They are very enthusiastic about their work.

The general interest was shown by the good atlention snd res- pectful hearing given the speakers. At the close of the principal address, Miss McBhame, one of the two aide, mounted the auto from which Miss Htewart spoke, and convinced a con- siderable number of her auditors that they should own & souvenir such as she offered for sale. Her real “suf. frage smile’ that lighted up a pretty face, proved a good sales agent here and elsewhere, Before coming to Centre Hall, a stop wae made at Potters Mills where the party was royally received, Beveral sutomobiles carrying the principal woman suffrage enthusiasts and Wo- man Suffrage hasbands from here met the bell party at that point and escort- ed them across the valley to Penns Valley's metropoile. MONTANA WOMAN BPEAKS, The principal speaker was Mise Mary Blewart, dean of the University of Moutans, whose forceful logic and simple elcquence captivated her audience. Bhe was easily the foremont of all the advocates of Votes for We- {ment and self realization. The his | tory of earth is written in the struggle of the masses to wring the powers of {government from the few and extend | them to the many. “ Evolving industrial conditions, | the great inventions and rew methods | of industry, have forced many women ‘from the homes into the factories where the women workers have no volce whatever in the shaping of con- ditions there. And business is closely linked with politics sand both need cleaning up. “ We women do not claim that we unaided could give the best possible government, but we do claim that men and women cc-opersting, work- ing together in harmony, could give a better form of government. We wo- men object to being placed upon a pedestal, we believe that ours sphere is that of companion, co-worker snd help-mate in the fullest sense of the term to man, We want the ballot as a tool for making conditions better, Better for us and for our children. It is the race ideal that things will be better tomorrow, that the next genera- tion will be better off than this one, “ Better homer, better sanitary con- ditions, better schools, finer streets, in short better community conditions, are sure to follow close upon the en- franchisement of women. Votes for women means higher, loftier citizen ship and in Penvaylvania It means that conditions politically and indus trially can be made ae beautiful ae the r 2 oJ) NO.
