by Mrv S TulcOtt it Mny li Does the workman who builds your house need hiri Does the soldier j need his Do we need air and j To us who are born and i bred to in woman suffrage it is hard to realize that any argument is necessary to prove that the mother has need of the ballut to enable her to help make the laws by which she and her children are governed But I suppose it must be line upon line and precept upon precept Of the many vantages the mother labors under I will speak of a few In the education of children she has no voice in choosing who shall teach where the school buildings shall be situated how seated or ventilated what amount of taxes shall be levied or how used lifter they are collected This ity has been brought hume to me in own experience Left widow by the war the entire care and education of my children devolved on me There was a school house to be built in the district in which I lived It was voted to be built at one side of the district If iay mother sisters and myself could have voted the school house would have been built in the center of the district It was the war and our men were in the army while there was a vote of several who paid no taxes In consequence of this my children would have to walk two miles to attend school So long be- fore it would have been necessary had we been able to express our wishes at the I was obliged to move to Osage to my children to school You have only to remember our ex- in this state with temperance legislation 10 realize our need of the ballot to protect our children from one of the greatest dangers they arc to meet Those of you who went through the amendment campaign will ber how hard we worked to secure its adoption and how we thanked God when we had won In connection with this I would like of a prophecy of Margaret W Campbell She was at my home in soon after the amendment was adopted I went with her to call on the editor of the Nws G W Bennett He was in favor of woman having the franchise but said that the fact that the amendment had been carried by men was proof that woman did not need the ballot for Mrs Campbell answered You have not the amendment en- forced I will make the prophecy i hat you will not have permanent legislation until woman votes Mr laughed at it and J she would be mistaken but I din not feel assure as Mr Bennett mYre damaging effect on a Hov it has For a merely convention than on a picnic technical quibble lost the excursion The of last meat we had the woman's demand for the ballot forcefully pointed out the good that has been accomplished ic all states where equal stiff rage has been granted She also ably answered the of stock objections always urged against woman suffrage Miss Gregg is a lady of culture talent ability and fairness she is also a perfect master of her sub- and handles it in splendid style Her address made a good impression on all and converts to the cause Wednesday forenoon was mainly devoted to organisation brief ee and
