The Australian Women's National League announces a visit of its secretary Sybil to Geraldton. A beardh meeting is set for next Friday at 1 p.m. at the Parish Hall followed by a combined men and women meeting. Ms Clarke James and Mrs Foster are expected to speak, with discussions on forming a Men's Literal League branch.
Mrs Foster held an afternoon meeting in Mullewa forming a committee under the Geraldton branch. She lectured on preferential voting and Liberalism, criticized McFither on the Union Jack remarks, and praised loyalty to the flag. An evening event at Giles Hall included a lecture and a dance.
Mrs. Fosters gathering in Northapton drew many men, few women, as she urged women to vote and men to influence them. The discussion covered preferential voting, Liberal alignment, and local party resolutions while addressing redistribution debates and local political dynamics.
A new single rail system powered by horses, dubbed the wheelbarrow railway, is tested by Loxton Farming Company in South Australia.
