Suffrage Association" repealed many.
and IN 1904 the Equal Suffrage AS
ISOLATION became the Civic League.
The change of name failed to work
for in November, 1912, there were
only twenty members reported at the
national convention.
In the spring of 1918 some wished
TO inject politics into the league.
Roosevelt has placed the enfran-
chlsement of women in his platform.
The Progressives viii give suffrage 20
women" was the cry, and Roosevelt
and the Ballot in 1916" their slogan.
Progressives Drew Out.
Dissension arose, and the Progress
SlVes drew out and formed another
organization, which they called the
Equal Suffrage Association, the orig
inal name of the then Civic League.
The Civic League then grew apace.
Both the old and new members ia
vored bestowing upon the organizes
ton name that declared for what
it stood. The word civic" was elm
mated and Woman Suffrage was
substituted. The Georgia Woman
Suffrage League, baptized in fire, is
now the name of Atlanta's first suf-
frage organization.
1t numbers 900 members, is active,
enthusiastic and progressive, though
not of the Progressives. The presi-
dent has appointed committee of ten
members for each of the ten wards,
and a special committee for the bust
ness section. These committees dis
tribute literature, advance suffrage
education, and work to increase the
membership roll.
For Humanity's Betternnent.
The league has members in various
parts of the State, and they are in
augurating the work in their own sec
tons.
The Georgia Woman Suffrage
League stands for the betterment of
humanity. BY removing the disabil-
tiles of One-half of our people q do
not say citizens, as that term is at
present a misnomer for the women of
our State) we eliminate almost ali vi
our population that counts for zero.
With better legislation, with the re-
70 class reduced to the imbecile and
idiot, we have a right to hope for
better born children, for fewer I'M
fortunates, mental, moral and physi-
cal.
God created man in His own inn
age: male and female created He
them" and gave them" dominion
| over all things.
