  All　day　we　went　from　one　to　another　of　the　polling…

  land；　and　from　the　south　up　to　San　Francisco；　but
  there　was　not　a　sufficient　majority　to　overcome　the
  adverse　votes　of　San　Francisco　and　Oakland。　　With
  more　than　230；000　votes　cast；　we　were　defeated　by
  only　10；000　majority。　　In　San　Francisco　the　saloon
  element　and　the　most　aristocratic　section　of　the
  city　made　an　equal　showing　against　us；　while　the
  section　occupied　by　the　middle　working…class　was
  largely　in　favor　of　our　amendment。　　I　dwell　es…

  did　work　was　done　by　the　women　of　California；　and
  also　because；　during　the　same　election；　Utah　and
  Idaho　granted　full　suffrage　to　women。　　This　gave
  us　four　suffrage　statesWyoming；　Colorado；　Utah；
  and　Idahoand　we　prepared　for　future　struggles
  with　very　hopeful　hearts。
  It　was　during　this　California　campaign；　by　the
  way；　that　I　unwittingly　caused　much　embarrass…
  ment　to　a　worthy　young　man。　　At　a　mass…meeting
  held　in　San　Francisco；　Rabbi　Vorsanger；　who　was　not
  in　favor　of　suffrage　for　women；　advanced　the　heart…
  ening　theory　that　in　a　thousand　years　more　they
  might　possibly　be　ready　for　it。　　After　a　thousand
  years　of　education　for　women；　of　physically　de…
  veloped　women；　of　uncorseted　women；　he　said；　we
  might　have　the　ideal　woman；　and　could　then　begin
  to　talk　about　freedom　for　her。
  When　the　rabbi　sat　down　there　was　a　shout　from
  the　audience　for　me　to　answer　him；　but　all　I　said
  was　that　the　ideal　woman　would　be　rather　lonely；　as
  it　would　certainly　take　another　thousand　years　to
  develop　an　ideal　man　capable　of　being　a　mate　for
  her。　　On　the　following　night　Prof。　Howard　Griggs；
  of　Stanford　University；　made　a　speech　on　the　modern
  womana　speech　so　admirably　thought　out　and
  delivered　that　we　were　all　delighted　with　it。　　When
  he　had　finished　the　audience　again　called　on　me；　and
  I　rose　and　proceeded　to　make　what　my　friends　frank…
  ly　called　‘‘the　worst　break''　of　my　experience。
  Rabbi　Vorsanger's　ideal　woman　was　still　in　my
  mind；　and　I　had　been　rather　hard　on　the　men　in
  my　reply　to　the　rabbi　the　night　before；　so　now　I
  hastened　to　give　this　clever　young　man　his　full　due。
  I　said　that　though　the　rabbi　thought　it　would　take
  a　thousand　years　to　make　an　ideal　woman；　I　believed
  that；　after　all；　it　might　not　take　as　long　to　make　the
  ideal　man。　　We　had　something　very　near　it　in　a
  speaker　who　could　reveal　such　ability；　such　chivalry；
  and　such　breadth　of　view　as　Professor　Griggs　had
  just　shown　that　he　possessed。
  That　night　I　slept　the　sleep　of　the　just　and　the
  well…meaning；　and　it　was　fortunate　I　did；　for　the
  morning　newspapers　had　a　surprise　for　me　that
  called　for　steady　nerves　and　a　sense　of　humor。　　Across
  the　front　page　of　every　one　of　them　ran　startling
  head…lines　to　this　effect：
  DR。　SHAW　HAS　FOUND　HER　IDEAL　MAN
  The　Prospects　Are　That　She　Will
  Remain　in　California
  Professor　Griggs　was　young　enough　to　be　my　son；
  and　he　was　already　married　and　the　father　of　two
  beautiful　children；　but　these　facts　were　not　per…
  mitted　to　interfere　with　the　free　play　of　fancy　in
  journalistic　minds。　　For　a　week　the　newspapers
  were　filled　with　all　sorts　of　articles；　caricatures；　and
  editorials　on　my　ideal　man；　which　caused　me　much
  annoyance　and　some　amusement；　while　they　plunged
  Professor　Griggs　into　an　abysmal　gloom。　　In　the
  end；　however；　the　experience　proved　an　excellent
  one　for　him；　for　the　publicity　attending　his　speech
  made　him　decide　to　take　up　lecturing　as　a　profession；
  which　he　eventually　did　with　great　success。　　But
  neither　of　us　has　yet　heard　the　last　of　the　Ideal　Man

  SHE　MADE　HIM
  And　Dr。　Shaw's　Ideal　Man　Became　the
  Idol　of　American　Women　and
  Earns　30；000　a　Year
  We　had　other　unusual　experiences　in　California；
  and　the　display　of　affluence　on　every　side　was　not
  the　least　impressive　of　them。　　In　one　town；　after
  a　heavy　rain；　I　remember　seeing　a　number　of　little
  boys　scraping　the　dirt　from　the　gutters；　washing　it；
  and　finding　tiny　nuggets　of　gold。　　We　learned　that
  these　boys　sometimes　made　two　or　three　dollars　a
  day　in　this　way；　and　that　the　streets　of　the　town
  I　think　it　was　Marysvillecontained　so　much　gold
  that　a　syndicate　offered　to　level　the　whole　town　and
  repave　the　streets　in　return　for　the　right　to　wash　out
  the　gold。　　This　sounds　like　the　kind　of　thing　Ameri…
  cans　tell　to　trustful　visitors　from　foreign　lands；　but
  it　is　quite　true。
  Nuggets；　indeed；　were　so　numerous　that　at　one
  of　our　meetings；　when　we　were　taking　up　a　collec…
  tion；　I　cheerfully　suggested　that　our　audience　drop
  a　few　into　the　box；　as　we　had　not　had　a　nugget　since
  we　reached　the　state。　　There　were　no　nuggets　in　the
  subsequent　collection；　but　there　was　a　note　which
  read：　　‘‘If　Dr。　Shaw　will　accept　a　gold　nugget；　I　will
  see　that　she　does　not　leave　town　without　one。''　　I
  read　this　aloud；　and　added；　‘‘I　have　never　refused
  a　gold　nugget　in　my　life。''
  The　following　day　brought　me　a　pin　made　of　a
  very　beautiful　gold　nugget；　and　a　few　days　later
  another　Californian　produced　a　cluster　of　smaller
  nuggets　which　he　had　washed　out　of　a　panful　of
  earth　and　insisted　on　my　accepting　half　of　them。　　I
  was　not　accustomed　to　this　sort　of　generosity；　but
  it　was　characteristic　of　the　spirit　of　the　state。　　No…
  where　else；　during　our　campaign　experiences；　were
  we　so　royally　treated　in　every　way。　　As　a　single
  example　among　many；　I　may　mention　that　Mrs。
  Leland　Stanford　once　happened　to　be　on　a　train
  with　us　and　to　meet　Miss　Anthony。　　As　a　result　of
  this　chance　encounter　she　gave　our　whole　party
  passes　on　all　the　lines　of　the　Southern　Pacific　Rail…
  road；　for　use　during　the　entire　campaign。　　Similar
  generosity　was　shown　us　on　every　side；　and　the　ques…
  tion　of　finance　did　not　burden　us　from　the　beginning
  to　the　end　of　the　California　work。
  In　our　Utah　and　Idaho　campaigns　we　had　also　our
  full　share　of　new　experiences；　and　of　these　perhaps
  the　most　memorable　to　me　was　the　sermon　I　preached
  in　the　Mormon　Tabernacle　at　Salt　Lake　City。
  Before　I　left　New　York　the　Mormon　women　had　sent
  me　the　invitation　to　preach　this　sermon；　and　when　I
  reached　Salt　Lake　City　and　the　so…called　‘‘Gentile''
  women　heard　of　the　plan；　they　at　once　invited　me
  to　preach　to　the　‘‘Gentiles''　on　the　evening　of　the
  same　Sunday；　in　the　Salt　Lake　City　Opera　House。
  On　the　morning　of　the　sermon　I　approached　the
  Mormon　Tabernacle　with　much　more　trepidation
  than　I　usually　experienced　before　entering　a　pulpit。
  I　was　not　sure　what　particular　kind　of　trouble　I
  would　get　into；　but　I　had　an　abysmal　suspicion
  that　trouble　of　some　sort　lay　in　wait　for　me；　and　I
  shivered　in　the　anticipation　of　it。　　Fortunately；　my
  anxiety　was　not　long　drawn　out。　　I　arrived　only　a　few
  moments　before　the　hour　fixed　for　the　sermon；　and
  found　the　congregation　already　assembled　and　the
  Tabernacle　filled　with　the　beautiful　music　of　the　great
  organ。　　On　the　platform；　to　which　I　was　escorted
  by　several　leading　dignitaries　of　the　church；　was　the
  characteristic　Mormon　arrangement　of　seats。　　The
  first　row　was　occupied　by　the　deacons；　and　in　the
  center　of　these　was　the　pulpit　from　which　the　deacons
  preach。　　Above　these　seats　was　a　second　row；　oc…
  cupied　by　ordained　elders；　and　there　they　too　had
  their　own　pulpit。　　The　third　row　was　occupied　by；
  the　bishops　and　the　highest　dignitaries　of　the　church；
  with　the　pulpit　from　which　the　bishops　preach；　and
  behind　them　all；　an　effective　human　frieze；　was　the
  really　wonderful　Mormon　choir。
  As　I　am　an　ordained　elder　in　my　church；　I　oc…
  cupied　the　pulpit　in　the　middle　row　of　seats；　with　the
  deacons　below　me　and　the　bishops　just　behind。
  Scattered　among　the　congregation　were　hundreds　of
  ‘‘Gentiles''　ready　to　leap　mentally　upon　any　con…
  cession　I　might　make　to　the　Mormon　faith；　while
  the　Mormons　were　equally　on　the　alert　for　any
  implied　criticism　of　them　and　their　church。　　The
  problem　of　preaching　a　sermon　which　should　offer
  some　appeal　to　both　classes
