1t was decided to inaugurate suf-
frage campaign this year and make an
effort to have the word "male" struck
out from the constitution of the United
; States.
Every county in the state will hold a
w. G. t. L. convention in the spring.
At these meetings there will be present
the regular employed state workers, as
signed to each district, who will give
instructions in the work. About 745
new members have been added to the
state w. c. Il. L. this year. Thus
there can be eight delegates by national
representation, one delegate at large,
: and tour state officers, making 13 in all
to be sent as representatives to the
national convention. The large in
crease will probably give Indiana the
national banner offered for the great
est growth of the year.
