Equal Suffrage Notes

The national conventions of the
political parties Of The United states
This summer have brought equal suf-
frage Into prominence rs subject of
national importance. The National
American Woman Suffrage Association
has furnished II suffrage plank for both
Chicago conventions and for baltimore.
Anna Howard Shaw and Jane Adams,
President and Vice President respcc-
lively of the National Suffrage Associa-
ton, spoke in favor of the plank, the
former before the resolutions committee
of the Democratic party and the latter
AT the Republican and Progressive
conventions. But this is nothing new.
For many years sufi'ragiSlS have been
attending political conventions with
planks calculated TO fiji any platform.
And for years the socialists and Prohibi-
tionists have been adopting the planks.
The real interest this summer has been
in the rumors that one of the "bign
parties would come out for suffrage,
promptly begin the work for that party.
Now, as a matter Of fact, endorsement
by political party at its national con-
vention does not necessarily mean that
any state will so amend its constitu-
ton as TO enfranchise its women; and
it does not mean that the Constitution
OF the United States will be so amended |
that the states will have to enfranchise
women. 1t simply means that the
demand for equal suffrage is so strong
as to make it worth while for politicians
10 take notice Of ii, as well as of the
six equal suffrage states. The idea that
organized suffragists will work for any
political party is quite contrary TO the
well-known policy Of all large suffrage
societies The International Suffrage
Alliance, in convention at Stockholm
In 1911, discussed the question at length
and decided that suffragists must be
