Mrs. Wil liam Randolph Hearst acted as hos tess and served refreshments to the assembled guests. In introducing Miss La Follette, Mrs. Harriot Stanton Blatcb, Presi dent of the Union, said: Praises Mrs. W. R. Hearat. “We are fortunate In having rep resented with us to-day two of the most important professions in the country: Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, cur hostess, whose fnfluence for good is felt in newspapers that carry a greater Conviction and influ ence than any ever known, and Miss La Follette, who represents the stage, another tremendous influence in the country. I will not introduce Miss La Follette to you as the daugh ter of any Adam, but as a daughter of Eve.” Miss La Follette paid a high trib ute to Mrs. Blat.h as a pioneer in the cause of suffrage, and then said: Calls Suffrage Democratic. “There is one aspect which I can always discuss with fresh joy, and that is the democracy of equal suf frage. It is not a question of a fight between man and woman, but a movement all over the world for equal democracy.” She declared that about one woman in every four is a wage earner, not because of some abstract idea of ih- dependence, but of necessity and added: “Jyst to the degree that women are pushed into industry, just to that de gree are they a part of the communi ty and have a right to the only weap on of power in that community— the little piece of paper put in the ballot box once a year.” Tells of Sweatshop Horrors.

In discussing an Interview, given by Governor Brown to Hearst ,q Sunday American last Sunday, where in Governor Brown took issue with Blease’s stand on The exercise of exec utive clemency, as published In The American of the preceding Sunday, Blease to-day came back with this re joinder: “The best way to settle that mat ter is to compare the numbef of lynchings in Georgia with those in South Carolina, and also the amount of lawlessness in the two States.

A strong petition from the Savan- nah bar, a majority of members QHAMffER TO WORK OUT signing it, has been sent to President Wilson in behalf of Charles D Russell for the position of assistant district attorney. In case Senator Bacon de cides to endorse some one outside of Savannah for district attorney, Rus sell’s chance for an assistant’s place would be improved. He was an ac tive Wilson man and an effective worker. The news that .Senator Bacon might not press the nomination of Joseph S. Davis, of Albany, to be United States marshal for the Southern district, has caused the talk to start again about that office. It is rumored that Thomas Halligan, an active and influential Wilson man, may file bis application for this posi tion. Halligan is now clerk of coun cil, and presumably would have the endorsement of the city administra tion, not as an administration, of course, but as individuals. In his youthful days, the Honorable Joseph Mackey Brown used to be an adept at tripping the light fantastic toe, and generally was more or less In demand as a partner at terpsicho- rean divertlsements. Once upon a time, however, he came mighty near breaking up a fashionable soiree in Atlanta, and some of his friends are laughing about it yet. Back in the *8d’s Colonel and Mrs. Robert T. Lowry gave a big dance one evening, and Governor Brown was a guest. As was the custom in those days, the carpet on the drawing room floor was not removed for the dancing, but canva. 1 ; “crash” was stretched tightly across it. and upon this the dancing was done. About the middle of the evening it was dis covered that the “(‘rash” was becom ing covered all over with red tracks as though somebody with very muddy shoes on had walked across it a few times. Investigation dis closed the fact that iIovernor Brown, in his hurry to get under way danc ing, had forgotten to remove his rub ber overshoes, and as the night was rainy, he had left a red and muddy trail everywhere ho waltzed! The Governor temporarily was much embarrassed, but eventually he returned to the hall room, and was, in a way thereafter, the hero of the evening. But he never forgot to re move his overshoes indoors again— especially on rainy nights. and will live with his parents, man had suffered enough.
