from that of former years. It is proposed
to induce the constitutional convention,
to be held according to the provisions
of the organic law of the state in May,
to prepare an amendment to the con-
stitution eliminating the word male"
from that document. Once that little

The conversion of the society women
to the advanced way of thinking was,
so far as the public knows, d rather sad
den thing, but there is little doubt that
unless the growth Of this feeling suffers
an unlocked for setback the women will
eventually, IL not this time, win for
themselves the prize they so earnestly
desire. One thing that makes for this
conclusion ia the fact that, although
there are some who fight the proposition
with all the earnestness OF former years,
the period Of fighting the movement
solely by ridicule seems to have prac-
tically passed away.
The chief difference between the pres
emit methods and those of the past, aside
from the entry of the society women
upon the field and the assault being
upon the constitutional convention in
stead of the Legislature, lies I'm the meet

Just how this came about not every

there ID no doubt thai the society wom-
en-, ell the old tims agitators and many
OF che professional and business women
are aroused upon the subject but the
feeling in favor of political equality il
still very feeble among the home women

ested, but that the majority are not
there is no doubt whatever. Granting
this, it is clear that the women of New
York as a whole are not yet asking for
the suffrage.
1--WE are well aware, y said a young
woman i'm charge for the day at Sherry's
recently, that the middle class women
are not yet aroused, but they will be, /
am sure. We have had omuch DIDO in
getting our petitions out among those
whom we personally know that we have
not yet had time TO go TO those with
whom we are not acquainted. But If
you observe the men who come in here
to sign you will see that they do not all
look as If they were rich, and IL the
middle class men, financially speaking,
come out for equal political rights their
wives and daughters win too. Is it he
retical for me TO say that the women will
be guided by the men In this matter?
Well, it's true any way, and it couldn't
be otherwise. We have always followed
the lead Of men in political and econ
omic thought-most of us-and IL we
get citizenship now because many of as
are led by the men it's all right. We
don't care about that. What we want
is the citizenship
ST have not thought very long ON this
matter. I don't know the history of the
so called woman s rights movement ut
all well or the names Of its pioneers.
But my papa used always when he
was alive to see that I kept pretty well
informed ON the politics. events of the
day, and my mamma hss always be-
lieved women were as well qualified to
exercise the powers of citizenship as the
men, and some women, she thinks, are
a great deal better qualified than some
men. i agree with her in this, and 80 do
most Of the girls and women I know.
One thing is certain. We shall mot do a.
SO many men we know have done-stay
away from the polls year after year.
We know that ignorant women, and
frivolous women, and bad women will
have the power TO vote a well as we,
and / believe that when equality comes
the great many good, pure women who
may not now favor the suffrage will see
the situation as it is and vote because
they viii feel it their duty to counter
act the votes of the ignorant and the
vicious, just as the intelligent and good
men should now.

Large quantities of hay are being
