agists at many places. The
Political Equality Club of Boone, Ia., brought large bouquets for Miss
Anthony, Dr. Shaw and Mrs. Catt, who made brief speeches from the rear
platform. The colored porter listened attentively and said: "Well,
that settles me; I am for woman suffrage," and afterwards diligently
circulated copies of the _Woman's Journal_ on the train. Another
ovation awaited them at Council Bluffs. The train waited half an hour
at Omaha and the women of the Political Equality Club, the W. C. T. U.
and the Woman's Club united in a demonstration. A platform had been
improvised and their presidents expressed a welcome to which responses
were made by Miss Anthony, Mrs. Catt, Dr. Shaw, the Rev. Antoinette
Brown Blackwell, Miss Laura Clay and Mr. and Miss Blackwell, editors
of the _Woman's Journal_, while reporters were busy getting
interviews. They returned to the train laden with flowers, which they

Joseph M. Carey and his wife, staunch suffragists and old friends of

trees twinkled pleasantly in the clear sunlight, the air was fresh and
bracing and the snow mountains looked down upon the city like a
visible realization of ideals." The presence of the visitors soon
became known and an impromptu reception was held in the large waiting
room of the station, which was beautified by potted ferns and palms.

Sunday services were held on the train and during the week days
business meetings in the stateroom of Miss Anthony and Dr. Shaw. As
the journey neared the end the porter confided to Lucy E. Anthony, the
railroad secretary, who arranged the trip: "I ain't never travelled
with such a bunch of women before--they don't fuss with me and they
don't scrap with each other!" Monday morning they entered the
magnificent scenery along the Columbia River and at The Dalles were
met by Mrs. Duniway and a party of friends. By noon they had reached
the City of Roses and were comfortably
