TALKS ENTERTAININGLY
Mrs. Mary Muggeridge, President of the Equal Rights Association of Newport, in speaking about the women's ticket for members of the Board of Education said: "I do not consider selecting candidates for the Board of Education the work of the Equal Suffrage Association. It is the women's question. Therefore, all the women in Newport should have a voice in the selection of candidates. A mass meeting has been decided upon as the best way to select candidates. Time or locality has not been decided upon, but I should think the second week in September would be a suitable time and the largest hall in the city, perhaps the Courthouse. There are a number that are spoken of, but it is not the desire of the Equal Rights Association to select all the candidates from their association, but to have some from outside."
:Has the Democratic executive committee extended the same courtesies that the Republicans have in offering a place for the women on their ticket?"
"No, they have not."
"Have you decided to accept the offer of the Republicans?"
"No, not yet."
"Will you run independently?"
"I have not decided."
"What do you think of Dr. Emma Gunkle? She is spoken as a very available candidate."
"No better selection could be made, but I have been informed that the law requires that a member of the Board of Education shall be a householder, and as Dr. Gunkle resides with her father, she is ineligible for the office."
