sony over the suffrage victories that she
ss,t there just had to be a big jubilee
meeting.
"A torchight parade is very pretty"
sne said. but It doesn't seem adequate
20 celebrate so momentous an event as
the granting Of freedom TO the women of
four states. Wen have the parade, but
cell have a big enthusiastic melting, too"
This was at u o'clock when all doubts
&C 10 the extent or the victory had van
tshed. True they didn't know about Ore
von. but even three states were enormous,
=, course. So Mrs. Batch telephoned and
engaged Carnegie Hall for the evening of
wednesday, November 49, Then she sent
telegrams TO Miss Jane Adams, to Pres
ident-Elect Woodrow Wilson and Gov
.rnor-Elect William Sulzer inviting them
all TO address a celebration Of citizen
ship" meeting
"Governor Wilson won't be asked 70
say anything he doesn't wish to-, she
explained. I'VE don't ask him to talk
votes for women We ask him TO talk
citizenship, and there is no one in the
country who has a better speech on the
essentials Of democracy than his accep-
lance Of the Democratic party pomina-
t;on. II he'll only repeat part Of that so
the women will realize what this democ-
rocv Is which they are now allowed 10
practice, we'll be satisfied We can de-
mend on our other speakers TO make the
conection between democracy and votes
for women!
OR. Shaw will speak. Of course. and
n. have also telegraphed to one OF the
Michigan leaders. the nearest state where
the victory was won yesterday.
To FIaunt No Banners.
"To symbolize the difference between
this celebration OF citizenship and ordl-
nary suffrage meetings we shall nave
no suffrage banners on view. The decora-
tons will be the same as they were Tor
the mass meeting after the parade last
MAY, palms and beautiful white pillars
on the stage. and over all a magnificent
silk American flag. Around the hall on
the boxes will be the flags Of all the other
nations where women vote.
AS for Yesterdays victory! 1t is slo-
rious! II means that in New York state
we shall certainly win in 1915. Probably
the bill 10 submit the amendment 10 the
people will pass the Legislature unaIh-
mously by the end of January.
"Of the ffty-seven Senators elected yes

pledge or letter, promised us to support
the bill. In the Assembly, out OF one nun

In spite OF the fact that Mrs. Blatch
deems their torchlight procession MADE
ouste TO commemorate a suffrage VIC
tory in four states, the parade leaders
were working rapturously yesterday on
ali the last exciting details Of that same
parsde In the first place. they were
rapturous because at last they knew IL
was to be a parade Of triumph. II might
have been parade Of protest If the nice
men voters Of the four states hadn't de-
.ided to let their women vote
The plans which Mrs. James Lees LAID
law, r. c. Beadle, OF the Mems League
Mrs. William Warner Penfeld and all
the others have been making all summer
have been like some peoples automobile
coats-reyersible. The chorus of $50
trained voices which Mrs. Penfield is
coaching was all ready to chant walls
Of protest or peans Of praise. Aester-
day they left their protest music at homo
and repaired 10 Mrs. Belmonts room ana
piano to practise doubly hard on the
triumphal choruses
