Plans Made For The Equal Suffrage
Campaign.

The West Virginia Equal Suffrage AS
ISOLATION held State Conference at
Fairmont last week. Speakers of ma
tional reputation were heard, and twas
determined to perfect an organization in
every county IN the state and wage
vigorous campaign for the adoption OF
the suffrage amendment by the voters at
the election 10 November, 1918.
We believe that equal suffrage is right
in principle as well as practice, and have
never heard any convincing argument
against it. The Spirit Of Jefferson will
support the amendment in every legiti-
mate way, aud with all the power at its
command.
