number of reports from people living
in the neighborhood that a woman's
scream had been heard almost night

heard a woman crying. He located
the house from which the sound came,
and when his knock on the door was
unanswered, forced an entrance.

GAINESVILLE. - Although he is over

dent of bank here and con-
gressman from the Fifteenth district
for six terms, makes no secret of the
fact he is learning to dance the

Cincinnati, O.-That Ohio would
! follow in the footsteps of New
York in having schools for suffrage
was announced at the closing conven-
tion of the Ohio Suffrage association.
The first school will be opened in
Cleveland, and following that similar
schools will be started in Cincinnati,
Akron and possibly two of the other
large cities of the state. Some Of the
branches of the proposed curriculum
are: Principles of the various political
parties; legislation bearing on suf-
frage; voice culture; how to conduct
street meeting; voting and practical
suffrage arguments. 1t is reported
that Miss Zara du Pont will be in
charge of the Cleveland school. She
has been in the east investigating
methods used at the New York school.
That Ohio women must not be led
to believe that the passage by con-
gress of the amendment to the federal
constitution enfranchising women will
enfranchise the women of this state
was the statement made by Mrs. Har-
riet Taylor Upton, president of the
association.
Mrs. Upton addressed herself per-
sonally to Miss Doris Stevens, men,
ber of the committee that worked for
the federal amendment. Mrs. Upton
said that it would be a great mistake
to allow Ohio women to think that
they had much chance of securing the
vote in this way in the near future.
"The state legislature must ratify
the amendment before it can become
law" declared the president.
"The same enemies which will op-
pose us at the polls in 1914 will fight
to elect a legislature opposed to the
suffrage amendment and a campaign
for ratification would be quite as
vigorous as one for our petition. We
will never be enfranchised unless we
ourselves work for that enfranchise-
ment, and we ought not to be-"
The association elected officers as
follows:
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Warren, O.,
president; Mrs. Elliot Pendleton, Cincin-
natl, auditor; Mrs Frances Easement,
GAINESVILLE, honorary president; Miss Zara
du Pont, Cleveland, first vice president;

o. F. Davidson, Dayton, member of exec
utive committee OF the National Suffrage
| l>zkl.
Girard O.. reappointed state organizer.
Aside from the election of officers
the most important action was the
voting down of a suggestion proposed
by the Cleveland delegation that the
next campaign be deferred and not
held in 1914, as is now intended.
Neither will Ohio women wait for
the United States government to give
them suffrage through federal amend
ments.
