Talks by some of the most prominent
suffragist speakers in the country, de-
livered at the Church of the Redeemer
before the annual convention of the
New Jersey Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, the most successful ever held In
the history of the organization, have
given new impetus to the movement,
which, if the predictions of the speakers
come true, is to humble mere man and
put him in his rightful place once and
for all. That end, they asserted, Is to
be accomplished only by the enfran-
chisement of women, which is certain
to come soon.
Most of the speakers were charitable
to the sex, which, they admitted, has
held the reins. The Rev. Anna Howard
Shaw, president of the National
woman,s Suffrage Association, even
went so far as to say that good re-
liable men exist, men TO whom widows
and orphans might safely trust them
selves and their possessions, but that
was an extreme view as compared with
the arraignment of the male species by
most of those on the platform.
Mrs. Joanna Hartshorn. president Of
the Short Hills Political Study Club, 1t
is true, also paid a pretty tribute to
the opposing sex. She said, in sub
stance, that many men make as good
cooks, swaitresses and chambermaids as
women.
Mrs. Shaw later proclaimed the right
OF women to smoke cigarettes on the
