SUFFRAGlSTS PLAN
 FOR BIG MEETING
Invitations Are Issued For An nual National Convention at Nashville.

Announcements Of the forty sixth national suffrage convention are now being sent out by the National Amer ican Suffrage association. It will be held. at the invitation of the Tennes- see Equal Suffrage league, in Mash vile, Tenn, November 12 to IT, da elusive. The invitation, which is sign- ed by the general officers of the as sociatIon, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president; Jane Addams. v1ce-pres4- dent, reads in part as follows:
 Since the last convention met, all the horror of a great war has fallen upon the civilized world The hearts of thousands of women have been torn for the death and wounds Of Yet never has their will and power to help been greater. never mans need of such help been more clearly seen. We who are spared the anguish of war. well understand that, as weight Is given in the worlds affairs to the voice of women, moved as men are not, by all the traetc waste Of battles the chances of such slaughter must perpetuaIly diminish. Now is the time. when all things point to the vio- lence that rules the world, now is the very time to press our claim to 9 share in the guidance Of our coun- try's fortunes, to urge that wouxan's 8 vtsdon must second and rectafy that or man.
 ..L.et us, then, in convention assem- b1ed, 1ind1e with the thought that, as we consider methods for the political enfranchIsement of OUT sex, our wider l purpose Is to free women and to en- l able womansa conception of life in all it's aspects to find expression Then wouan's horror of war and of all needless misery, woman's indignation at the exploitation of her sister wo- man. woman,s care for and wise stress upon the needs of the cnilc will become operative. Let us set a fresh seal upon the great new loyalty of women to women; let og1s response I be felt in the deep tide of fellowship ? and understanding between all women which today iS rtsing round the world
 'erhds win be in many respects the most important convention in the his l tory of the national association. Plans must be made for winning the en- franchisernent of the women of the
 whole country dn the speediest, most practicable n1annezt possible.
 ttWiII all thoSe who can serve as I delegates please notify the officers o1 \ their local association as promptly as
 possible, in order that the delegatiocs
 from every state may be fuif and rep-
 resentative of the very best suffrage
