"fj'!a:ivfi -MISS KATIE Met. BUTE ELECTED .. CHAIRMAN EXECUTIVE COM. Quite a number of Democrats,' in cluding about fifty ladies, attended a meeting at the court house here Friday at 11 a. m. The meeting was called by Mr. T. A. McNeill, Jr chair man of the county Democratic exe-" cutive committee, and was addressed by Mr., N. A. Sinclair of Fayetteville. Miss Katie Mcl. Buie of the Phila delphus section was elected chairman of the women's Democratic executive committee, composed or five women from each of the . twenty-five town-, ships in the county. , t v -. chairman McNeill presided at the meeting and in a short address urged tne importance 01 the women 01 the South voting since' they " have .been given the right of franchise. The vote of the women will be-necessary w order to keep North Carolina rep resentation on a par with that, of - other States, Mr. McNeill declared. The women of the North and West have been , voting and the South will lose and suffer to the benefit of oth er sections unless the women assist, the speaker continued. The women &'.e going to hold. many of, the of i:ces and it is up to the women to, see to it that the best women are elected to fill these offices. Women Will, Elevate Politics. The speaker of . the day was fit tingly introduced by Mr. L. R. Varser of Lumberton. Mr. Varser also told the ladies that it was their duty to vote, since enough States had voted for woman suffrage to automatically give the women of North Carolina tno privilege of equal. . suffrage. -Mr. Varser's opinion is that when the la dies vote the polls will have mere the appearance of a Sunday school pic nic than an election. He looks for no disturbances whatever." He appealed to the ladies present to consider ma chinery that will arouse a tendency among the women to register and vote in the November election. Get the Woman Vote Out. In beginning his address Mr. Sin-. clair addressed his audience as fel- iow-citizens and then explained that it was his first time to address a mix- d audience of men and women . as fellow citizens. The women are as full-fledged citizens as the men. The speaker said in part: , "When the agitation of woman suf frage was first started I was inclin ed to be opposed to it. After study mg the matter thoroughly I later decided that it was a good thine. Close observation will prove that the opposition was more of prejudice than anything else. When the matter is analyzed it is hard to find a good reason why the women should not vote. Women are universally more faithful in the performance of their duties than men. Some- of the most mportant duties in life are hard, but when the women realize that it is their duty to vote, they will not tunc it. While a large per. cent, of the women of North Carolina did not ask for the duty, it becomes a duty just the same, and one they cannot escape. The duties brought to the Iwomen by the world war were not sked for, but they measured up t ' their full duty in every respect.
