2 DR. SHAW TALKS TO BIG GRANGERS' CROWD Enthusiastic Welcome Accorded Woman Who Has Long Been Fighting For the Ballot Mechanicsburg, Pa., Sept. 3.—Yes terday, the bis day at Grangers' pic nic, drew a crowd numbering almost fifty thousand people. From an early hour, automobiles and teams lined all roads to the grove. Loaded trains added their quota all day, and no accidents occurred. It was Suffrage Day with Dr. Anna Howard Shaw as speaker and an en thusiastic reception was given her. Upon her arrival she was met by local suffrage clubs, with yellow streamers, yellow pompons, and taken to a gaily decorated automobile, where she was conveyed to the Thomas cottage, es corted by the suffrage party and Sin ger band. Miss Anna Lowry and Mrs. Albert Chesley of Harrlsburg accom panied her from that city. Following dinner at the cottage, where the din ing room carried out the yellow color Bcheme of the suffrage party, with pennants and sunflowers, and many distinguished guests present, Dr. Shaw was escorted to the large auditorium Which was filled to overflowing. Ac companying Dr. Shaw in the auto, was Mrs. R. H. Thomas, Sr., of Mechanics burg; R. H. Thomas, Jr., general man ager of the Grangers' picnic, spoke of the pleasure It gave him to have so distinguished a speaker. This is the foiyth time Dr. Shaw has addressed audiences at 'Williams' Grove; twice for temperance and twice for suf frage. Dr. Ruth A. Deeter. of Harrisburg. chairman of the meeting, introduced the speakers; Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, of Harrisburg, and Miss Mary E. Bakewell, of Pittsburgh, both of whom gave interesting talks. Amid cheering. Dr. Shaw stepped to the platform and said that 18 years ago she was here and unless the vote for suffrage does not carry, on No vember 2, she will come every year for 18 years more, and give the men no rest until they are just. "Our gov ernment is no republic," she stated, "for a republic Is a form of govern ment, whose representatives are elect ed by the people. Now, the men are only half of the people, what about the women?" Speaks of Voting System She spoke of the system of voting, how It has changed and said, "Always before, a man voted because he was a male, now, because he is some kind of a man. Xo individual lias a right to be free from responsibilities of government, whether male or female. The triumph of the Civil war was due to the devotion and loyalty of women as much as men." In speaking of the opposition of the antlsuffragists, she said, "What do we care for a little band of women organized to work against suffrage? They are never able to obtain broad, witling workers." She paid a tribute to the suffragists for giving their time, without remunera tion and was greeted with loud ap plause. "When men want to reform a campaign." she said, "they always call on the women." She declared that two classes of men should be disfranchised; the men who sell their votes and the men who buy votes. In answering the argument that women cannot be on the police force, she em phatically says, policewomen are r.eeded to prevent crime, and to save children. I.et Men Fight Men Asked, "If war should come, would the women tight," she said, "No, of course not, let the men fight the men; but, if women invade- our country, why women would tight then." She said, "I believe no nation has more reason for a prayer of thanksgiving than ours, for that man of peace in the White House. Even though he does not come out on the suffrage prob lem, 1 thank God for him." The speak er's words were drowned in applause. ireasonTmydso—sed-gOskßodn tb Admittedly the strongest argument made for peace, was that by Dr. Shaw, when she paid the highest tribute to motherhood, in that she gives her life work, 20 years, in careful training and careful guidance to her son who is to be murdered in the trenches. The worst crime of the war is against unborn children. The flower of the nation is taken, leaving only the de generate, feeble and criminal to he come husbands, and fathers of unborn children. Among the Pennsylvania Women's Suffrage Association members were: Miss Mary Stecker. of Milton; Miss Helen C. Clark, Miss Mary J. Xorcross, Miss Mary E. Bakewell. Mrs. Mabel Cronlse Jones, Dr. Ruth A. Deeter, Mrs. Alice S. Hauck, Mrs. C. E. Brin del. Miss Ida G. Kast and Miss Caro line Saxton.
