Her career was ever onward and upward a No. 2. "A great yoman has fallen, something precious has been removed to a brighter world. The why we know not, we dare not question.

Anna Shaw says "I cannot express my sorrow on hearing of the death of Mrs. Hollister. - Slie was a woman who had done more good worksjhan any one dreamed of.

In reply to newspaper statements that her official duties w ere unsatisfactory to her, Mrs. Wilson, Mayor of Hunnewell, Kansas, on August 13 wrote the National Suffrage Association as follows: "The re ports- recently published in the newspapers about me" and my attitude toward the work in which I am engaged are unjust and absolutely false, I am quoted asesaying, 'Politics is not a woman's game.' I have never made such a statement, nor have T arrived at that conclusion. As to my resigning, I have no intention of so doing; neither have I any desire for such action. I am in a fight for higher morals Und a better city government, and I am confident that I shall be victorious:.
