Western Electric
Salesmen to Meet
NEAR BALLOT,
Mrs. W, T. Shepherd, of Alabama,
Admits That Fight Is Well
Advanced in This State.
During the week commencing Jan-
, nary 26 about 100 salesmen of the
i Western Electric Company will hold
j their annual convention here. The
men will come here from all parts of
the South.
The convention will meet here
through the efforts of the Convention
Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, of which Pred Houser is
secretary.
That (Georgia women soon will have
the right to vote is the belief ex
pressed by Mrs. W. L. Shepherd, the
attractive Montgomery matron who
lent Congressman Heflin the famous
expression, “It Is better that a wom
an control a voter than vote.’’ and
" ho is an ardent antt-suffragist.
“1 am opposed to equal suffrage, but
I must admit that the energetic man
ner in which Georgia women are
pushing their demands for the ballot
that it won’t be very long until they
leceive it." she said Saturday. Mrs.
Shepherd is visiting friends in At
lanta.
• Notoriety is displeasing to me, and
I think there has been enough writ
ten about me already,” she said. “I
don’t think Mr. Heflin should be crit
icised for using the words which
someone else had spoken 1 rather
admire him for using them if he
thought there was force in them.
Calls Home Woman’s Sphere
1 am opposed to suffrage because
I believe a woman wields more influ
ence under present conditions than
she would by the right to vote. 1
think every man should discuss those
questions upon which he will vote
with his wife, and I believe that most
men do. Women should have a voice
in the affairs of the country, but un
doubtedly they have a greater per
suasive power now than they can
hope to have otherwise
“The suffragists of Georgia, how
ever, appear to me to be making won
derful progress. J don’t like to admit
that my State is behind in anything,
but the Georgia women ’ seem to be
pushing their cause with more vigor
than the Alabama women, and from
what I have seen and heard here, it
won’t be long before they have the
light to vote.
A woman’s place is in the home.
No matter whether womeh are ever
given the use of the ballot or not.
they are going to find that their real
power is in the influence they wield
In the home
Husband Approves Her View.
A woman is a woman, after all,
and her sphere has been and always
will be one of influence, and by the
use of ihe ballot 1 think they will
cheapen it."

of entertainments, the Shriners’ hall,

decorators.
Members of the Yaarah Patrol, in
full uniform, will serve the refresh
ments—simply bne detail of the e!ab

Atlanta's Leading Musicians Will
Play—Tech Show and Dance
Fill Many Empty Stockings.
The Empty Stocking: fund is larger
by a substantial sum Saturday as
the result of the dance at Segat^o’s
Hall on East Pine street and the an
nual play of the Tech Dramatic So
ciety at the Grand Theater Friday
night.
All of the proceeds of the dance
went to the fund, and one-fourth of
the money taken in at the theater.
Exact figures are not yet available,
but the Christmas Editor has done
enough figuring to be assured that
there will be enough money added to
the fund through these events to take
care of many of Atlanta's poor chil
dren.
Both events ratnk with the most
enjoyable of the season. The Tech
boys never have presented a better
performance than "The Magistrate,
and Atlantans have rarely patronized
a Tech show in larger numbers thin
tbey did at the Grand Friday night.
And the boys had worked hard to
gei the people Interested in their
show, for they were working for the
Utile bovs and girls as well as for
the glorv of Tech. And the knowl
edge that some of the proceeds of the
show would show Santa Claus the
way to many Atlanta homes which
otherwise would be dark and cheer
less Christmas morning, gave their
acting a swing and dash that raised
the performance high.above* the aver
age amateur production.
Miss Moseley Directs Dance.
And then after the show there was
the dance at Segadlo's. under the per
sonal direction of Miss Moseley. The
affair began at 8:30. and several hun
dred people w^ere on the floor before
the doors had been open half an hour.
The great rush, however, came af
ter the show, when scores of parties
lhat had seen the Tech performance,
and incidentally aided the Empty
Stocking fund, came to the dance hall
for another hour or two of pleasure.
Tl was a fine night for everybody
—those w r ho like to dance, those who
like a good show, and the children.
And now there is just one more
thing that the Christmas Editor has
planned tor the benefit of the Empty
Stocking fund.
it's that free concert at the For
syth Theater Sunday afternoon,
which is going to be one of the most
elaborate musical events of the sea-
An amalgamation of the musical
talent of Atlanta into a carefully ar
ranged program promises on this oc
casion a veritable feast of entertain
ment. Not alone has the event been
planned to please lovers of good mu
sic but novelties have been inter
jected which are calculated to lend
variety and dispense with the monot
ony usually attendant upon musicals.
Good Program Arranged.
Here is the program. Look it over
and see If it is not the best FREE
concert offered here:

Master Leon McConville, who will
plav a cornet solo, has been pro
nounced by experts the boy wonder cf
the South. At the age of 12 years he
has accomplished a marvelous degree
of proficiency.
And Lee’s Hawaiian Trio will throw
its Oriental musical charm about
you. i
By the way, have )OU contributed,
to this Empty Stocking Fund yet?
Have you sent in your check or your
