FIVE STATES IMPRESSED WITH SEX LOYALTY AND SOLIDARITY Feeling is Developing in Favor of Sin gle Standard of sented Cause on Lec ture Tour Denver July east is now convinced that there can be such a thing as a lady senator who some times uses smelling salts wears frocks of the kind recommended by the best fashion magazines and speaks in the tones of a perfect This is the opinion of the suffragist leaders Denver following the re cent return of State Senator Helen Ring Robinson from a lecture tour which took her through five states and during which she delivered more than sixty addresses If the antis of the east expected Senator Robinson to be any different from thousands of other cultured women of the country they were mistaken Mrs Robinson is enthusiastic over the growing suffrage sentiment ia the east and is convinced that the exam ple of Illinois in granting women the ballot will soon be followed by many She gave the United Press the following statement regard ing her trip By State Senator Helen Ring Robin son Only Woman Senator in the United One who has not been in the midst of it cannot realize the significance and zeal of the great womens move ment in the east I did not fully real ize it The fervidness of it the white flame that burned in its midst inspired me I heard preach with the fervor of Peter the Hermit One of the things that impressed me was the wonderful

has found the east has as many women in it as men These women belong to the in ert mass that live practical lives I call them ingrowing Tories I called them that at one meeting and the papers had it the next day ingrowing was to allay that haunting panicky fear among the men that when the women get the ballot they would take the American home out in the back yard and shoot it full holes I spoke not as a senator or politician but as a housewife I told what equal suffrage would mean to women as housewives and mothers what relation the garbage can bore to the ballot and I think I gave a side of the question never before present ed there I feel no vain pride in my success because I feel that most it was due to my having been advertised as a sort of curiosity or freak Most those who came to hear me came to see what sort of a creature a senator was and I know I disappoint ed them I wore petticoats and had unshorn hair at play found a chest filled witli gold at
