The group began to drift across the

VOTES FOR WOMEN
PROPAGANDA ON
Newark Equal Suffrage League
Busy at Broad and Mar
ket Streets Corner.

The votes for women" propaganda
was carried on within a few feet of
the second busiest corner in the
country, Broad and Market streets,
today. Under the auspices of the
Newark Equal Suffrage League a
store was opened on the south side
of Market street, jest west of Broad,
and all day men stopped, looked and
then went in land bought candy,
cake, soap, playing cards and even
suffrage literature.
The latest effort to attract atten-
ton is in charge of Mrs. d. w. r.
Macdonald, chairman of the commit
tee; Miss Jane Roberts, secretary
treasurer; Mrs. e. O. Chase. Mrs. +.
H. Parker, Mrs Charles D. Carr and
Mrs. Margaret Reilly. While they ex:
pect to realize some profit on the sale,
which will be for today only, the
main feature will be to get converts.
Probably the cleverest idea yet used
by the seekers after the ballot is
brought out in a playing card. Upon
the backs of the cards is printed top
and bottom and in the centre the
slogan Votes for Women" with the
colors of the suffragettes as a back
ground. Every time group of men
get into a game of j inochle, or even
poker the slogan stands out dozen
times or more on every deal
The sidewalk in front of the store
was lined with men, all bit bashful
about entering the store. When suf-
frage ammunition" was distributed
as rule the man read it and then
carefully folded it and put it in his
pocket for reference. The suffragettes
said this was the best encouragement
they had received.
