Marguerite Arnold, New . York Writer, Makes Survey of Efficient
Feminine Influence in Early Days of Republicanism.'
This little story was written by Mar- i
guerite Arnold of New York, after a
complete survey of the history of ome
in public affairs in this country.
WOMEN have been members of
the republican party for nearly
60 years. The republican party,
with its very origin, opposed theex
tension of slavery into the incom

for the emancipation and the suffrage
of slaves. Jo,. Uus objective the re

public-spirited women of the time,
including the leaders of the "women's
rights" movement, whose help they
were glad to receive.
One of the most amazing figures in
the early republican party was Anna
Elizabeth Dickinson, a young girl of
17. She held audiences enthralled by
her cool thinking, and her eloquent
presentation of the fundamental prin

mint for publicly accusing General
McClellan of treason, in the cam

against Abraham Lincoln, this re
markable girl at the invitation of the
republican party scored victory after
victory in doubtful etates.
Sent by the central committee to
turn the tide of public sentiment in
Connecticut, the pivotal state, she
was enthusiastically acclaimed the
savior of the day. She addressed
enormous audiences including the
leading men and women of the land.
It was said of her that she "moved
them alternately to laughter and to
tears, to bursts of applause and to
the most profound silence." When
she spoke in Cooper institute, hun
dreds were unable to get standing
room. Here it was that she had the
honor of making the closing speech
or the campaign.
