Do9 MOtnes.-The Iowa Sunragtsta
have prepared an honor role which
will contain the names Of candidates
for United States senator and repre-
sentatives in congress who promise to
do what they can to further the en-
franchisement Of women through fed
eral action, the names of candidates
for governor who promise to recon.
mend to the next general assemblies
favorable action on the suffragt meas,
are which passed the last legislature:
also the names Of followers and caA-
didates for the assemblies who have
promised to vote for the same meas
ure.
The suffragists state they are moi
asking candidates for the assemblies
to indorse equal suffrage, but merely
to show that they believe in democ
racy by voting to submit the ques

| A "black list" is also being pre-
pared by the suffragists which will
contain the names Of the candidates
who refuse to commit themselves as
to their attitude on suffrage, either
by evasion or by simple failure to re

charge. The ideal black list from
the suffrage viewpoint would be one

will not be reached, the list will be
= close approach to It. Every candi-
date. will be given q fair chance to
makA the honor role.
Any visitor to the suffrage cottage
at the state fair was able to get In
formation about the candidates and
see Just who was on the honor role
and who was not.
The suffragists feel that these lists
are very valuable, as they will show
as probably nothing else would the
chances the suffrage bill. which Is on
the calendar.of both houses. will have
at the hands of the United States
congressman or the bill as It stands
in Iowa awaiting the approval Of the
coming Legislature before 1t Is sub
mitted to the voters.
Much depends upon the attitude OF
the governor, so the expression from
the candidates. for the executive Of
