lasses; by
the strength of the liquor traffic and encroachments upon
religious belief. Some day the North will be compelled to look to
the South for redemption from those evils on account of the
purity of its Anglo-Saxon blood, the simplicity of its social and
economic structure, the great advance in prohibitory law and the
maintenance of the sanctity of its faith, which has been kept
inviolate. Just as surely as the North will be forced to turn to
the South for the nation's salvation, just so surely will the
South be compelled to look to its Anglo-Saxon women as the medium
through which to retain the supremacy of the white race over the

Miss Kearney's speech was enthusiastically received and at its end
Mrs. Catt said she had been getting many letters from persons
hesitating to join the association lest it should admit clubs of

that the North has sent some money since then into the South to help
undo part of the wrong that it did to you and to them. Let us try to
get nearer together and to understand each other's ideas on the race
question and solve it together."

Mrs. Maud Wood Park (Mass.), who was introduced to the audience as "a
very unpopular woman with the anti-suffragists," did not prove to be
so with her audience, as in her brief address she charmed every one
with her beauty and womanliness and convinced by her delicate wit and
keen logic. The last address was made by the Rev. Ida C. Hultin
(Mass.), an eloquent summing up of the arguments for woman suffrage,
given with a dignity of manner and sweetn
