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
