Marching to Victory. WYOMING'S, Colorado's and fair Washington's grand plan Has given women's suffrage, and each Wisconsin man Should show Wisconsin's chivalry and help to lead the van While we are marching to victory. CHORUS. Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll sing our glad refrain, Hurrah! Hurrah! from Oregon to Maine, For woman's honest purpose you never can restrain While we are marching to victory. We ask you to consider, that your widow'll have a claim To protect your children's intr'sts in a manner free from blame, We're pleading now for suffrage in your own dear mother's name While we are marching to victory. So all you honest statesmen let us drop contention's bone, For practice and your scripture shows men should not be alone, The influence of women just keeps up your moral tone, So we are marching to victory. A woman's inspiration made our country's starry flag, So we'll bear aloft "Old Glory" and never let it drag, And we'll not neglect the babies nor let the home work lag While we are marching to victory. We know some poor old fogies are wond'ring, with a sigh, Why we energetic women want a finger in the pie, If they paid yearly taxes without franchise they'd know why, Women are marching to victory. We ask you in your conscience do you think it justice when Our western sisters have the right to help 'lect congressmen, We cannot cast our ballots,--- we beseech you brothers then, Help us in marching to victory. We've worked with perseverance and we've not a single fear For our wise legislature and soldier gov'ner dear, Will never let Wisconsin come a tagging in the rear, While we are marching to victory.

Her electric lights are not faint; Her schools are heated by steam and properly ventilated, And the teacher's eyes all beam with the light of the educated. Six orthodox, protestant churches, with ministers at least eleven, Who, after most learned researches, are pointing the way to Heaven. We've a fire department most splendid, who rush at the slighest call, Our engines from rust are defended 'neath a handsome new Town Hall. Picturesque, fertile farms, showing the highest tillage, Surround and add to the charms of this steadily growing village. And, too, the people who dwell here belong to a class that reads, So character will tell here we regard not clothes nor your creeds. Beyond our shady park, so fine, lies placid Lake Leota. We're on the C. & N. W. line from Chicago to Minnesota. To reach Chicago eleven passenger trains at the greatest rate of speed. Eleven freights also. St. Paul is swiftly reached if you should need.
