political emancipation of women, both in his own State of Oregon
and in the U. S. Senate, of which he was long an honored member.

To name the men who have been counselors and friends of the woman

clearly and forcibly with her old-time power. A portion of her
address was a graphic recital of Miss Anthony's trial for illegal
voting in 1872.

When Mrs. Hooker's time had expired Miss Anthony rose and put her
arm around her, and thus these striking figures, representing the
opposite poles o
