Hence p the present campaign. The four Western Provinces had granted the vote to women since the war cegan-`-and Ontario` should not be behind. Mrs. Johnston quoted Pres`ident_`Li`ncoln,p who upon his erection to the `olce of President of the United States, had called his wife: Mary, Mary, we are elected. She was sure the wo- men were elected with the men to enter upon -the upbuilding of _ the new post war Empire. Mrs. Johnston.had personal informa_ tion from overseas -that the ghting men were signed, sealed` and settled upon the franchise` for women. .The overwhelming majority of `overseas soldiers votes in B. G. for woman suffrage - was proof of` this. This was one morereason` why the time wa__s -psychological, ` opportune, for Ontario men and _womennt_ home: to fall" into line with the" desires of our bravetroops a-' broad.

She traced the history of education and the advances made and the value of women's work on the Boards of Education, quoting _Niagara which had elected three ladies to the board by acclama- tion.~ Mrs. Becher explained that the new- movement had its birth_ in 't.he.French Revolution, but the present note was not revolution but coalition and the co"-opera- tion of men and women in, home, church and State. Shel answered the argument that wo-: man s place was inithe home by` describing the large industrial; army of women outside the home` who had I10 voice in the arrange-' ment of the conditions under` which they must labor; This industrial class of women would of necessity increase and shel showed that in the new day that; is` dawning, woman must. have a greater share in all that makes for the 'up-building of the na- tion; so the highest form of pat- riotisniwas to prepare for her; part of the great reconstruction: period.
