the polls on the 13th. Two women were on one of the tickets; the
opposition ticket was made up entirely of males. We were
supported by the best men in the village. The ticket bearing the
names of Mrs. Fidelia J. M. Whitcomb, M. D., and Mrs. S. Augusta
Herrick, was elected.

From Poland a woman writes:--Our school meeting was attended by

election. Mr. Hopkins is a farmer and was seeking reelection. Mr.
Dettloff is connected with an insurance company in this city, and

there was danger of their candidate's defeat. A consultation was
held, and it was decided to utilize the new law giving women the

crowded with men who amused themselves by passing remarks about
the ladies until the police were called in. Every lady who
offered her vote was challenged and a great many left the polls
in disgust. In Carpenter's Point and Sparrowbush, two suburbs of
the village, th
