The National Equal Suffrage conven- tion which is to be held in Nashville November 12 to IT. will be attended by d number of followers of the cause in this city, all of whom are interested in the plans for the sessions.
 A southern daily comments thus upon the forthcoming convention:
 "The report of Mrs. Medil Mccor- mick as chairman of the national con gressional committee will be a feature of the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage association, which is to be held in Nashville Mo- vember 12-17. The convention will hold it's business sessions in the state. capi- tol building. The south is already keenly interested, and it is believed that the convention will form potent factor in arousing suffrage enthusiasm.
 "The national board has recently sub mitted an outline of the programme. The first evening will be devoted to the campaign states. celebrating the victories and consoling the losers. As there are six campaign states, ma- 1orlty of which are regarded as safe for suffrage, this first mass meeting is likely to be somewhat prolonged and very enthusiastic. Dr. Shaw s annual address will clcse the pro- gramme for the evening.
 The report of the congressional committee will be the chief feature of the business session, with plenty of time for discussion The work of the committee is of two district kinds. one being the organization work car ried on from the Chicago headquar- ters, and the other the work with Con- gress in Washington.
 Mrs. Antoinette Funk, vice chair man of the committee. has charge of the Washington office. Mrs Helen Gardner who is well known as a de- voted suffrage worker. is the resident member fthe committee and acts in an advisory capacity. Mrs. Funk has personally made a canvass of the mem bers of the Senate and the House. In addition personal letters have been sent to all the members of the House tc sjve them an opportunity to state their position. Senators have already put themselves on record by a yea and nay vote on the Bristow Mondell amend. ment."
