Norwich bulletin., 1913-09-19

electors in time for the annual town meeting, were women.
 At the present time the names of only two women appear on the lists of voters for the town of Putnam, but by October 1, ten names will be added this being the number of women who filed applications on Thursday to be made and probably the number that will be admitted to the right of fran chise. for it may very truthfully be said that there is no danger that the women who applied on Thursday will experience the difficulty in passing the admitttcnce test that some men have been known to.
 The interest of women in Putnam to be made voters this year is attributed in great part to the equal suffrage campaign waged here in the spring and to the interest in the question that has since been maintained.
 A total of forty applications was re- ceived by the registrars on Thursday. Eleven names previously appearing on the list were restored and 72 names were erased The total of voters and those to be made is now about 1900.
