SPLENDID CONVENTION

First Meeting Held in Indianapolis Attended by Indiana Notabilities and a Brilliant Success. Women Can Have Vote If They Want It.

. BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. (On account of the defects of the post office system which caused a spe cial delivery letter, containing an ac count of the convention of the Women's Franchise League of Indiana, written by the special representative of the Palladium, mailed in Indianapolis at twenty minutes to twelve Wednesday night and received in the Palladium office at half past seven o'clock on Thursday evening, when it should have been received at about six in the morning, the expected special news of the convention did not appear here yesterday, some of it being now necessarily omitted since it is "old news." The writer's compliments to Postmaster General Hitchcock on his admirable system which takes a special delivery letter almost twenty-four hours to travel seventy miles on a straight line between two of the principal cities of the state.) One of the most surprising things about the convention of the Woman's Franchise League of Indiana was a statement made by the gentlemanly Mr. Fairbanks in his welcoming address. "I have never," said Mr. Fairbanks, "said a word about a political opponent behind his back that I would not have said to his face!" And the roof of the Claypool remained intact. While this, to be sure, had little to do with the enfranchisement of woman, it was none-the-less worth journeying from the out-lying districts to hear. Although the Ex-President gave utterance to other pungent and epigrammatic statements and indulged in the usual brand of alleged and moth-eaten humour with which notable and eleennt fflphritls tmlivon their riirmirs before woraen.8 organizations, this may be said to have been Mr. Fairbank's oratorical piece de resistance. Another surprising thing was the presence of representatives from over the state not only from the supposedly most enlightened sections but from those which have been looked upon as wallowing in crudity, ignorance and crassness. Brown county, the butt of the paragrapher's wit and the never failing source of supply for the cartoonist, was more ably represented than sundry of the centres of alleged culture. The chairman from that pictures que, if unjustly lampooned county, made one of the best speeches of the convention. If she proved to be one of the bungalow population of that section of the state and the wife of Will Vawter, the well known illustrator, that was neither an argument for or against. She stated that in Nashville, Brown county's capital, but three anti-suffragists were known. That all the masculine population of that interesting borough were for woman's suffrage and absolutely no opposition existed. This certainly ' speaks well for a town without a railroad. Maybe, after all railroads are not so much fore-runners of civilization as promoters and patriots so eloquently declaim. However tjiat may be "the lady from Nashville," was one of the hits of the convention. For one thing she was witty and amusing. For another, interesting because of some conspicuity she has recently attracted through her effort to have disbarment .proceedings brought against a member of the Bartholomew County bar on account of what she states was illegal procedure. That there is a strong sentiment in favor of woman's enfranchisement throughout Indiana is evident from this convention.

CAN

OF FRANCHISE LEAGUE

A convention, it must be remembered, convened on very 'short notice. That twenty-seven counties, and twelve out of the thirteen congressional districts, were represented, 6hows for itself since Indiana is counted one of the most apathetic states in the Union. Is one of the four which gives women no right of franchise on any subject. 4 From every section of tlws3$ae, from every speaker of bothei, from all the talk in the lobbies? from individual expression was heard "The men are in its favor. It is not the men, but the women, who have to be persuaded." Mrs. Sarah A. Crossfield, of Muncie, stated that it was a lack of organization, rather than paucity of sentiment in its favor", that prevailed in Delaware county. The representative from Decatur stated that she appointed eight women in each ward to make a house to house canvass to ascertain the state of the feminine mind in that community, and found the majority and a decided one favorable to equal suffrage. From every speaker was heard intelligent, discriminating and unprejuliced comment on the political situation as It affected the women of the state, showing a careful and constant attention to and with public affairs, and refuting the often heard argument that women were uninformed and incapable of forming an opinion that could be respected. f And these opinions were not uttered by one class of women. What is known nebulously as "the strong minded" woman. But women from every phase of social activity the club, the professional, the business, the society woman. The majority of the representatives from over the state, too, were not trained public speakers but showed themselves possessed of much ability at improvisation. Miss Virginia Brooks was the bright, refulgent star of the convention. The story of thi young woman's rout of the political machine of West Hammond, Illinois, is known to all readers of the papers. Miss Brooks was besieged by reporters from the Indianapolis papers, the vivacious and accomplished "Bet ty Blythe" of the Star marooning her j in the lobby, and, with canny adroit- j ness, occupying the more or less undi- j vided attention of this celebrity of the hour with admirable Thursday j morning results. Miss Blythe, in common parlance, "beat 'em to it" since i her paper came out first. Miss Brooks's address on Wednesday evening was a spirited and detailed account of the revolution shi? brought about in the rotten village of West Hammond, one of the worst graft ridden spots on the map, Miss Brooks having been aroused by a practical EASTER AND EASTER LILIES. ' Tall, stately Easter Lilies are most effective for church or window decoration. For the table, the mantlej or other places in the home, the new dwarf Lilies are preferable.'

confiscation of her property through enormous assessment. Property valued at $15,000 assessed for 20,000. A resident of Chicago, Miss Brooks removed to Hammond for the purpose of stirring up agitation against this state of municipal highway robberyWith the result of the entire elimination of the corrupt boss rule and the routing, foot and horse, of the bosses.

Miss Brooks, a young woman of attractive and fearless personality and of a frank and engaging manner, was given an ovation at the close of her both men and women. "On March 12th," said Miss Brooks to the writer to whom she gave an interview, "the campaign ended with the nomination of a mayor who was our reform candidate." ' "We met our opponents with insult for insult," continued Miss Brooks. "We had great placards lettered with the names of the machine candidates and under them, in big black letters "'The triple-headed hydra trying to devour the tax-payers of West Hammond.' " Miss Brooks also stated to the writer that she hired 'busses, had them driven to the various factories and saw herself that all the employes were taken to the polls and turned over to the reform committee who saw that they did not fall into the hands of the opposition. Wayne county was very much in evidence in addition to its five delegates. Dr. E. H. Lindley, of the State university, whose erudite and fascinating address on "The Feminist Movement," was one of the features of the program, is a semi-resident of Richmond, where his wife Miss Elizabeth Kidder, formerly lived. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, chairman of the convention committee is a native of Wayne county. Mrs. Corinne Robbins Barnes, a member of the Executive Board of the League, is a native of this county, and was conspicuous in the management of the convention. Mrs. S. K. Ruick, of the musical program, also lived in Richmond before her marriage. The speech of the Wayne county chairman, Miss Alice Hill, was another hit of the affair, Miss Hill's youth Hunt's Grocery 2 Lb. Can Lye Hominy, 5c Can N. Y.

and enthusiasm charming her hearers. Mrs. Earle, of Connersville. another representative from the Sixth district and a well known woman of the state, also made an interesting address. The Hon. William Dudley Foulke, one of the warmest supporters of woman's suffrage in the United States and who was invited to address the convention, wrote from Washington to Mrs. Clarke: "I find it hard to tell you how great is my disappointment that I cannot

l come to the convention. "We who have taken part in the woman's suffrage movement with Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the times when few cared and many derided and when the day seemed far off for the realization of our hopes we naturally feel a joyful pride at the tremendous advance which has now sprinkled the states of the Union." ""he first state meeting of the League conclusively proved that the women of Indiana only have to organize systematically to achieve the franchise. It is therefore opportune to reiterate at this time that a meeting of the Richmond Branch of the League will be held on next Tuesday afternoon, April 9th. at half past four o'clock In the Commercial club rooms. The Palladium was the only out of town paper which had a personal representative at the convention, and the fact was complimentarily referred to from the platform.

AN ANTIQUATED GUN. "El Camile," at West Paint, a Relia of t tha Mexican War. - Among the old guns from past wars n Trophy point there is one that Is fondly remembered by every graduate of the West Point Military academy. It is "EI Camilo." literally t he camel." a relic of the Mexican war. but dating

far back of that. This antiquated piece of ordnance, which is three parts silver and paintod a liht green, bears its name and the j royal coat of arms of Spain over an I inscription relating that it was the property of the regiment of the Golden Fleece, commissioned uuder Ferdinand and Isabella at the time when Columbus set out on his famous voyajre to discover a new world. It would be interesting to know what the Spanish grandees would have thought if they could have foreseen that the very cannon which probably thundered godspeed to the explorer would one day be captured by the unborn nation vf the undiscovered continent to which Columbus was bound. The ancient gun was probably carried to Mexico as part of the armament of a Spanish ship and many years later was pressed into service in the Mexican army, where the "sinews of war" were always at a premium. It was taken at Monterey by the Americans and sent to West Point as the most appropriate place for such an interesting relic New York Press.
