The visible signs of activity at the two
headquarters, a block and a half apart
| on f street. of the suffragists and the
antl-sufraSists grow greater with the
march of the days toward the events they
are preparing for between February 2S
and March 8. for the purpose of convinc-
ing the public of the merits of their
causes.
The Widespread division of opinion as to
whether women shall or shall not have
the vote, it was said at anti suffrage
headquarters today. was never better IL
Illustrated than by one of the news an
nouncements at that busy place. where it
was said that Mrs Oliver Livingstone
Jones. mother of Gen" Rosalie Jones'
and Miss Jones. her sister, are strong
anti-suffragists, and are expected to come
to Washington from New York by train
in few days to attend the big meeting
of the ''antis," to be held at the Beasco
Theater Friday, February %.
At the suffrage headquarters. where
those IN charge are equally busy, every
effort is being made to complete in time
the arrangements for the procession and
tableauX to be held March g. and the
two big meetings, one at Continental
Memorial Hall and the other at the
Columbia Theater, to be held March 9
and March 3.
Work Is Organized.
Most of the effort of the anti head
quarters today is in the way of organiza-
ton, and Miss Bronson, who is in
charge until the arrival from New York
Monday of Mrs. Arthur N. Dodge and
the large party that is coming here with
her. was occupied today with work in
connection with opening the headquar
tiers. such as the placing of decorations,
which consist principally of American
flags and palms. and the distribution of
literature to the hundreds of man and
woman callers who flock to the head
quarters in steady stream to register
their names as being opposed to the
vote for women
Miss Bronson announced that at the
meeting to be held at the Belasco Feb
ruary % Mrs. Dodge, who is the presi-
dent of the National Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage and the daugh-
ter of the late Gov. Jewell Of Connecticut
will preside. The speakers will be Mrs
John Martin, wife of member of the
board of education of New York, who is
convert. having once been a suffragist
who is said to be witty woman with
gift of public speaking. and Miss Bron-
son herself. who has spoken and cam
paigned in many states. 1t is also pos
sible that another speaker identified with
the movement, Miss Lucy Price, will also
make an address. and if it is necessary
