What s Going On Tenight. embers € _E. night with some m ot the Intgryisitation Committee present, e e Saminion 1e, No. 2, Pythian Sisters, K. % E MRS. CARLOS STODDARD. Speaks at Opera House in Weman Suffrage Campaign—Additions to Membership of Stats Association. In spite of the fact that the train was late, that she lost her bag in driving from ;h:dslxfion te her hotel and that she no time for dinner, Mrs. Carlos Stoddard appeared on the stage of Loomer Opera house Thurs- day night in time to give the woman suffrage address for which a large audience had gathered. i Tt was the mass meeting of the suf- frage campaign week which has been running here since Mond: the nine Yyoung women whe are werking about town had stirred things to a white heat of excitement for their theatre meeting. They have been addressing the clabs and social organizations of town, they have held meetings every noon at the gate of the Thread mill, they bave held meetings every after- noon ang eveming in their headquar- ters. Mrs. Stoddard, who appeared for the first time in this part of the state, is well known as a suffrage orator. She comes from New Haven and has done much work in that part of the state. She said. “It would not be possible for each sex to legislate its own spe- claities. But as men have not lost their manliness by passing laws on the salaries of female school teachers, or woman's hours of labor, and milk inspection, I don’t think the funda- mental feminine in us will be jeopard- ised by voting on railroad rates or the parcel post. Nor would women be in any more need of instruction on these Subjects than the average man is on the aforementioned feminine topics.” The speaker pressed the point home by adding, “They say that it is against Busic principles for women to vote be- eausc this voting is done in public places. This seems a short sighted prejudice as women go to church and £pend an hour or more beside strange men. We go to see plays in public theatres and sit beside unknown vot- ers. We walk on the public streets with these same voters. In fact these much feared voters are our soms and Busbands and fathers. They are all some woman's son you know. They may be on their worst behavior at the polls. In that case I think it a splendid idea to have women there to keep them up to their higher standard. 1f_men are such different creatures without us they certainly shouldn’t be left alone.” A dozen young women well known =ocially here assisted with the usher- ing. They were dressed in white and wore the purple, white and green regalia of the association. The reg- ular campalgners sold literature and suffrage buttons through the audtence. The theatre was well filled and sev- eral hundred new members were add-« ed to the lists of the suffrage asso- ciation of the state. St. Paul’s Would Be Church. The lay members of St. Paul's Epis- copal church, at their meeting Wed- nesday evening, decided to take steps within a week to _petition Bishop Brewster to have §t Paul's church DR. F. C.
