block of each other. two burly private
watchmen are parading up and down
before the headquarters of the Woman
! Suffrage association and those Of the

watchmen was made necessary, leaders
of the two movements declare, because
of the strained feelings that recently
have arisen with the establishment of
the anti-sufragist offices within so short
a distance from the advocates of equal
suffrage.
Headquarters of the "antis" were
opened yesterday. In the handsomely
decorated window facing main thor
oughfare was placed quantity of lit
erature against the suffrage cause, much
of it eouched in calistic terms which the
suffragists only short distance away
resent. Fearing that the latter might
resort to violence, the "antis" decided
to engage the services of the biggest
watchman they could find. Not to be
outdone, the suffragists enlisted the
services of another giant.
The active campaign of the anti
suffragists will begin to-day, according
