SUFFRAGISTS GATHER
FOR CONVENTION
NUMBER OF wELL-KNOwN MISSIS-
SIPPI CLUB WOMEN.
Cause of Universal Woman Suffrage Has
Acquired Great Strength in Missis-
sippi During the Past Two
Years.

Jackson.-Before a large and interest
Ing gathering Of men and women, but
mostly women, the opening exercises
of the ninth annual convention of the
Mississippi Woman Suffrage Association
were held in the senate chamber. 1t
was a program in which music, vocal
and instrumental, intermingled with the
dulcet notes of women's voices in ira
torical play. The scene was inspiring
and effective, with not a discordant note
from first to last. The suffragette colors,
In the form of "Votes for Women" pen
mons, were conspicuous on all sides,
mingled with floral decorations.
On the platform were Mrs Royden
Douglass of New Orleans, ex-president of
the Era Club of Louisiana, as the spe-
cial guest of honor of the Mississippi
association; Mrs. Lily Wilkinson Thelp-
son, president; Mrs. Nellie Nugent Som
e~rvilIe, ex-president; Mrs. Ella Biggs,
corresponding secretary; Mrs. Fannie
Clark, vice-president; Mrs. E. I. Ed
monds, president of the Jackson Equity
League, and Mayor S. J. Taylor of Jack
son.
The proceedings began with the sing
ing of america" led by a specially
chosen choir, the entire assembly joining
heartily in the rendition. The invoca-
ton was offered by Rev. ]. M. Morse,
pastor Of the Capitol Street Methodist
Church, after which the formal program
was taken up.
The only man participating in the ex-
ercises other than Pastor Morse was
Mayor Swep J. Taylor of jackson, who
extended a welcome greeting to the WIS.,
iting delegates. Mr.. Taylor declared that
he would welcome the day when "the
women of u state get the ballot"
and as Mississippi was the first state
in the Union to admit women TO own
property in her wi right, it ought not
to be far behind in giving her the right
to exercise her vote.
That the cause of universal woman
suffrage in Mississippi has grown might
lily during the past two years or SO is
demonstrated by the interest manifested
in this gathering, and by the number OF
recruits who have signiied their sympa-
thy with the movement. Five or six
years ago, when a suffragist convention
was held here, the meetings were &C
commodated in a hotel parlor. This
time II required a legislative assembly
hall to accommodate the delegates and
their sympathetic friends who are still
hanging on the cliffs of uncertainty,
awaiting the time when they, too, shall
give in their adherence.
