Most Beautiful
Suffragetle to
Address Meeting
Miss Inez Milholland Will
Point Moral of Triangle
Factory Fire in Demand
for Votes for Women?

Senator Archibald Mceil, Jr., Senate
chairman of the committee on Woman
Suffrage of the General Assembly, and
also of the committee on Constitutional
Amendments, said today that he an
ticipates a very large attendance at
the mass meeting to promote the fran
chlSe for women, which is to be held
in Warner hall tomorrow evening at
s O'Clock.
Senator Mcneil has consented to act
as chairman of the meeting
The speakers are to be women prom
inent in the movement. Best known,
perhaps is DIR. Anna Howard Shaw
who is president of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton. Her fame as a speaker is inter-
national
Mrs. Thomas n. Hepburn of Hart
ford, president of the Connecticut
Woman Suffrage Association; Miss
Caroline Ruutz-Rees, chairman of the
work in Fairfield county: Miss Inez
Milholland and Col. N. w. Osborne,
editor of the New Haven Journal
Courier, will also speak.
Miss Milholland is called the most
beautiful Suffragette in the world. She
recently took a prominent part in the
settlement Of the strike Of the shirt
waist makers in New York: Among
the girls whom Miss Milholland met
during this strike, and whom she so
ably assisted in their efforts to obtain
better working conditions, were many
of those who were burned to death in
the fire in the Triangle Shirt factory.
1t is deemed probable that Miss Mil
holland will refer to this tragedy as
showing the need of women to be
equipped with the franchise, if only to
secure better protection for themselves
in the industries in which so many OF
them are now obliged to labor.
