SOME S|DEUGHTS
ON SUFFRAGE WORK
Reflections on Manner in
Which Women Conducted
National Meeting.
GO0O-HUMORED TALKS
OF THEIR OWN EFFORT
Leaders Tell How Great Illinois Vic
tory Was Secured Modern and
Old Forms Compared.

Practically and sense of humor were
about the last things man spectators eX-
pected to discover in the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage convention which
was held in Washington all last week.
Yet the dexterity with which they ran
their show right under the eyes of the
legislators whom they asked to pave the
way for constitutional amendment for
suffrage. their avoidance of hot air
and hysteria and their good hunlored de-
scription of their own work made the
gathering one Of the most interesting po-
litical conventions of recent years.
That the suffrage cause is political
needs no demonstration other than the
deferential attitude Of the senator's and
representatives from suffrage states and
the attentive ear given by these from
states where the movement is gaining
ground. For instance, Senator Jim Ham
Lewis and Senator Lawrence |. Sherman
OF Illinois dropped party differences to
unite in a message of regret at their in
ability to attend the celebration. of the
Illinois suffrage victory Tuesday night.
The pfnK-vhiskered statesman sisned
the telegram. Your obedient servant,
which drew n good -hunofed but slightly
skeptical laugh from the sufraGists.
"He has always been very polite to the
ladies'" said Miss Jane Adams. dryly,
but perhaps the victory for woman in
Illinois has something to do with this
message.
That was rather the keynote of the
conventions tone-grateful acceptance of
masculine aid, tinctured by realization
that politicians were more conSiderate tie
after women gained the right to vote.
Also an evident determination not to be
taken III by mere gallantry.
