WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE CAUSE
FIGHT, SAYS MRS. BELMONT
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special wirs.
NEW YORK. Dec. S1.-In behalf OF
the National Woman's Suffrage AS
sociation, Mrs. O. II. p. Belmont today
issued a statement outlining the pro-
gress Of a year in the effort to secure
votes for women.
That there is a lively interest being
manifested i'm the movement, the state
ment declares, is shown by the amount
Of newspaper publicity given it dur
ing 1909.
The National officers who went to
London in April found that the move
ment had vanced greatly in the Brit
ish isles during 1909. Canada too,
showed considerable advance.
In North Dakota and washington
the legislatures will vote on the pro-
position of granting the ballot to wom-
en- next year.
There is every prospect Of a cam
paign I'm Oklahoma which the state
ment says may end in the granting
OF the franchise to women. The
statement ends;
There is abundant reason 10 pro-
phesy that the year 1910 will witness
such an advance in this movement as
has not been seen i'm all OF the past
quarter of a century. The time is
ripe for woman suffrage, and it can
not be much longer delayed.
