The women Of the Kings County Political
Equality League we're very busy yesterday.
They we're winding up the campaign for
soual rights and we're armin0 their delegates
10 the coming Constitutional Convention with
loads OF petitions The headquarters Of the
league at 1873 Pierrepont street looked like q
place Of business. Women from the branches
OF the league we're coming all day with brown
covered books containing the signatures Of
thousands who want women TO vote. From 4
O'Clock until an Informal reception was
given to delegates TO the Constitutional Con-
vention and friends OF the movement The
campaign material was stored away. and the
rooms made bright with flowers and plants.
Mrs. Cornelis X. Hood. the President OF the
League made a short speech, In which che
paid her respects to women who are rstarding
the movement. These women" said she. are

bush Of their homes they come out and say

gent enough to vote Their protest 10 like
fairy'tals; II IL 80 easily sifted.
