 County Senator McNeil, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Hicks to Speak

Planning to storm Litchfield county and capture it for the cause of wo-
 man suffrage. party of prominent
 suffragettes, including two local wo-
 men, will begin an automobile tour at New Haven on August 1, stopping for speeches at, all the important towns,
 cities and villages in the county. They will be aided by various prominent men, incluo.ng members of the pres ent General Assembly who were in- terested in the cause of woman suff- rage, Including, it is understood, Sen ator Archibald McNeil, Jr., of this city, who successfully led the fight for the suffrage bill in the Senate. Chief in the party will be Miss Inez Milholland, sometimes acclaimed as
 the most beautiful suffragette in the
 country Miss Milholland is now
 resting at her fathers big farm at
 Wadhams, N. Y. Besides being a
 graduate of Vassar, she received the
 sheepskin from Columbia Law school, finishing her studies there last month.
 Bridgeport will be represented in
 this suffrage campaign against the hard hearts of the Litchfield farmers, by Mrs. S. T. Davis, Jr., and probably also by Mrs. William T. Kinks, prom inent in the local suffrage league.
 Miss Emily Pierson, of Cromwell, state organizer, is mapping out the itinerary of the tour and will be one of the chief speakers; also it is un- derstood that five young women who are college graduates will be active in the work of the party Experienc- ed speakers such as Mrs. T. N. Hep burn of Hartford, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa- tion, and Mrs Ernest Seton Thomp- son and Miss Caroline Rutz Rees, both of Greenwich, will be included.
 Mere man is also to assist at his own dethronement. When the party Meara of that city, will preside at the suffrage meeting, and has promised to make an enthusiastic speech,-all of which is fine tribute to the potency of the suffrage charms. as Senator Meara hasn't opened his mouth except to vote, during his entire term in the State Senate. They like him for that in Torrington, apparently, for he is the first Democrat sent from that Senatorial district in its history.
 Lincoln Steffens and Julian Street, two famous magazine men who live in Connecticut, and by the way, com pose part of the editorial staff of the Greenwich Press, in which little town some of the suffragfsts rampant re- SlOG-QdV0 QTOIllSGu lO RESELL III tuc party and make speeches: likewise Attorney General John H. Light, Pro- lessor Charles A. Beard of Columbia University, Robert H. Elder, district attorney of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Senator Halloran, Mayor of New Britain, and Representatives Peck and Range.
 The party will start from New Ha- ven on August 1 and will disband on August 31, after an automobile trip which starts at Watertown and ends at Torrington. AS planned by it's leaders, the trip will be no holiday lark through the summer-resort coun- try but will be a persistent campaign flor the good of the cause"
 The enthusiasts in the suffrage movement plan to conduct a continu- ous campaign from the present time to the next Legislature, when they hope their efforts will be crowned with success.
