But the White HbtlM wasn't th only place where the suffragists atid tho antta crossed each other's trail to-day. Dele gations from both sides invaded the po litical preserves of the Republican Na tknal t 'omrnittee Dr. Anna Shaw, preaident of the Na tional Woman Suffrage Association, which Is holding- I la annual convention here, was the lirst HpcAkvi".

Your delegate Mr. Kahn tells you that your part) is wrecked In the West. Here are t.OoO.O'.'O votes with which to bind up your wounds This does not mean that we have 4,nort,O0M women corralled In a room to deliver their votes as de sired.
