Woman Suffrage Convention.

=
A State Mass Meeting is hereby called By
the National-American Woman Suffrage
Association, to be held in Wilmington
afternoon and evening of Dec. II and 1e
in Unitarian Church for the purpose of or.
ganizing Delaware State Suffrage Associa
ton.
The question of woman suffrage is ag-
gressively before the people of the whole
nation. The gloriou example of Wyom-
ing. where women have voted upon every
question that men have for thirty years
has answered every objection of the op-
ponent. She has demonstrated that none
of the fancied ills, that theorists declared
must follow the enfranchisement of wo-
men, have proved true in the actual expert
ment. Wyoming is to-day an unanswer-
able argument for the advantages of
Government that knows no sex. There
remain but two States without an organi-
cation to push the work for the enfranchise-
ment of Women. Delaware is one of these.
The progressive spirit of the State will no
longer permit her to lag behind her neigh
bors in this line of march. The time to
act in now.
We earnestly request all the friends of
the cause to be present at this Mass Meet
ing and participate in its deliberations.
Entertainment for delegates will be provi-
ded in the hospitable homes of Whining
ton Friends wishing entertainment will
please address Miss Emma Lore, Cor Della
ware and Broome SITS. Wilmington, Del.
An interesting program will be provided.
Come onel Come all Let this be an
earnest and enthusiastic gathering which
shall make an energetic protest against ex-
isting conditions-a fit prophecy of new
time coming when there shall be higher
and truer civilization.
