rom freight-cars to eighty
horse-power French automobiles. In Eau Clair, Wisconsin, I spoke at the
races immediately after the passing of a procession of cattle. At the
end of the procession rode a woman in an ox-cart, to represent pioneer
days. She wore a calico gown and a sunbonnet, and drove her ox-team with
genuine skill; and the last touch to the picture she made was furnished
by the presence of a beautiful biplane which whirred lightly in the air
above her. The obvious comparison was too good to ignore, so I told my
hearers that their women to-day were still riding in ox-teams while
the men soared in the air, and that women's work in the world's service
could be properly done only when they too were allowed to fly.

In Oregon we were joined by Miss Lucy Anthony. There, at Pendleton, I
spoke during the great "round up," holding the meeting at night on
the street, in which thousands of horsemen--cowboys, Indians, and
ranchmen--were riding up and down, blowing horns, shouting, and singing.
It seemed impossible to interest an audience under such conditions, but
evidently the men liked variety, for when we began to speak they quieted

streets in every direction and as far as our voices could reach. Never
have we had more courteous or enthusiastic listeners than those wild and
happy horsemen. Best of all, they not only cheered our sentiments,
but they followed up their cheers with their votes. I spoke from an
automobile, and when I had finished one of the cowboys rode close to
me and asked for my New York address. "You will hear from me later," he
said, when he had made a note of it. In time I received a great linen
banner, on which he had made a superb pen-and-ink sketch of himself
and his horse, and in every corner sketches of scenes in the different
states where women voted, together with drawings of all the details of
cowboy equipment. Over these were drawn the words:

WOMAN SUFFRAGE--WE ARE ALL FOR IT.

The banner hangs to-day in the National Headquarters.

In California Mr. Edwards presented me with the money to purchase the
diamond in Miss Anthony's flag pin representing the victory of his state
the preceding year; and in Arizona one of the highlights of the campaign
was the splendid effort of Mrs. Frances Munds, the state president, and
Mrs. Alice Park, of Palo Alto, California, who were carrying on the work
in their headquarters with t
