ny NINA G. VAN wINKLE,
of Newark.

Since 1S4s there has been carried on
an energetic campaign for women's
suffrage Today every state in the
Union has It's suffrage organizations.
These Organizations express only a
small part of the enthusiastic senti-
ment that is in the minds OF most
women OF our State. AT our big
Pankhurst meeting and at the booth
of the industrial exhibition this
spring we learned much that we did
not know before. Both the women
and the men are with us. Only in
rare instances where very eircum-
scrlbed lives are lived do we find real
opposition to the movement.
Five years ago one could seldom
secure appreciative newspaper rec
ognition. Today we are favored with
q special suffrage edition. Our pro-
ceedings are considered by papers all
over the world as legitimate news,
and not a single newspaper can ac-
cuse us of being ignorant of the value
of good advertising, for we have
planned deliberately to secure their
notice. We have put aside all false
modesty and are attempting is best
we can to run our affairs on the
same progressive business plan that
is applied by our well-informed male
friends.
The Political Unions first mass
meeting was run successfully because
