the voters of the town coald rely up
on them for an economical and
business like administration. ;

for some c.t the ladies to address

upon Mrs. LeFevre for a few re
marks, in response to which that
lady said that the only desire of
tue women voters of Skagway was
to e.uct .«*><>whose motives

cerned she was willing to leave the
nominating of a ticket entirely in
the hands of the men. Mrs. ,Dr.
I*. S. Kller was also called upon
and in forcible, witty and unmis
