Will Clubs lndOrse Suffrage?


At the mid-Winter meeting of the
Federation, held in St. Paul, Mrs G.
G. Higbee, former President of the
Federation and Chairman of Com
mittee on Charities and Corrections,
preached the cause of equal suffrage
to the Federation in the following
terms
obviously there is increasing need
of woman's work in the development
and care of dependent children; for
the protection of young girls; in the
regulation of public charities; in the
elimination of dangerous social con-
ditions; in securing justice for wage
earning women. and in all measures
relating to the welfare of our sex.
st is inevitable that thoughtful
women realize that this work might
be more easilyand fully accomplished
if women were balloting instead of
begging. Our bnasted indirect in
fiuence' is found to be of very fluc-
tuating value.
Therefore, as Chairman of the
Charities and Corrections Committee
| now give notice that this Fedora
tion will be asked, at its next annual
meeting, in September, to endorse.
