THE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT

If we are to judge by press reports.
the state of Washington is about to
become a storm center in the move
ment for equal suffrage.
Here in Walla Walla those women
who believe in the right of women to
vote have an active organization which
is constantly growing stronger. While
over on the west side the movement
has already attained such proportions
as to alarm politicians.
In this connection it is significant to
note that the movements newest
strength seems to be coming from
younger college women, a class of
women which has not been seriously
interested in suffrage" in the past.
Such recruits in any movement are
bound to make their influence felt. and
the end of the crusade is by no means
in sight.
Washington's campaign is unique
among suffrage movements for the
reason that the women of this state
once enjoyed the privilege of the ballot.
The story of how they lost the ballot
a story which if the truth is being told
reveals a dark page of Washington's
history, is now going the rounds, and
is bound to bring in new converts.
