Show WOMAN S EXPONENT 50 and Kansas for constitutional amendments to enfranchise the women of those states, will be watched with interest by all friends of Equal Rights, for a victory for them will have more than local significance, the cause is surely marching onward to success in spite of indifference and opposition. f In conclusion I wronld say, that although circumstances prevent me from meeting with you on this occasion, yet I am with, you heart and soul for the good wrork, and I have never for a moment lost faith in the result. We have many difficulties to meet and obstacles to overcome which you do not have and foremost among them is the lack of funds. The'membership fee has in many instances been literally the widow's . mite and the only obtained by sacrifice of personal comfort, while many who have abundant means also "have all the rights they want." We cannot afford to stop now with the goal almost in sight but eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and we who have accepted the new gospel of Equal Rights, must labor with untiring zeal for the redemption of the masses. . Indifference is a far greater foe to the cause than opposition, but both will melt away like snowi before a summer sun in the dawning light of the twentieth century.
