Asserting that she did no- helfzve that the millenium wonld be ushered in if equal suffrage became operative, but that she did believe it would help to_broaden and develop Wwomen, to safeguard and protect our women and young children, to restrict -intemper- ance, to lessen the white slave trafic and the exploitation of women by man’s lust and greed, to establish a fairer standard of wages for women and better protection for women in industry, and to banieh child labor, Mrs. Henry Graves, of Geneva, N Y. who before her marriage was Miss Irene Coit of this city, greatly inter- ested an audience of 50_Tuesday ait- ernoon at 3.30 at the Norwich club, where an open meeting was held by the Norwich Equal Franchise league. The opportunity of having oth Mr. and Mrs,_ Graves to speak in Norw was grasped by the league and special meeting was called in advance of the annual meeting which comes on the 18th. Before the address by Mrs. Graves, when the meeting was cpened Tuesday afternoon by the pesident, Mrs, William A. Norton, a norinating ommittee was appointed {o rsport at the annual meeting consisting of Mrs J. Eldred Brown, Mrs. J. J. Dermond and Mrs, Gilchrist. After she\had been introdured b the president, Mrs. Graves sald that she wanted to talk first of woman suf- frage as related to the home and that if she felt for one minute that she would be less of a mother and house- keeper because of advocating woman suffrage, she would resign at once from the women's suffrage assovia- tion. The threshold of the home leads in two directions, in and out, and the best mother is apt to be one with the broadest horizon whose activitics are not limited to the four walls of her house, but who goes out with her child into the world, a sharer in hix broader ‘activities, helping him to pre- pare for the noblest and highest of all vocations, that of good citizensaip. Mr. Graves, who is president of the Men's League for Woman Sufi i Ontario county, was introdu v Mrs. Norton, and like his wife was given enthusiastio applause for his vigorous but informal talk upon the subject. Woman suffrage, he said, was a question of right and wrong--of prin- ciple—and 95 per cent, of the argu- ments against it were sentimental and also insincere. They back right vp into the corner that woman’s place is in the home, which is really no argu- ment and you can’t argue with the person wio takes refuge in ti:s claim. As to woman's capacity for voting he declared that the average man and the average woman are on & par as far gs that goes: and as far as the averige man being entitled to vote because he takes an honest, earnest interest for the good of his rity, he should have his vote taken away from him on that qualification. It ‘is th women who are interested and wor) ing for clvio betterment, onservatism, which the anti-suf- fragist possesses is a good auality, and watch your step is all rigit, but for goodness sake take a step ' The line on the ballot should not be drawn on sex, but on Intelligence, and so would ¢ome the advance of the humnan race through true democracy _to heights we have never dreawed of. Tea_was served after the meeting, Mrs, J. Eldred Brown and Mrs, A. H. Chase pouring. Mrs, Graves has been doing cam- palgn work in the cause, and in the course of her address disclalmed any 1iking on her part or on the part of other workers of the necessary pub- licity and campalgn methods which this involved, but sald they were adopted because they were most read= ily effectlve and that when the desired result had been attained the workers would gladly retire agaln to their “place in the home.
