SUFFRAGE NEWS
(By A. G. Porritt. }

The Connecticut Woman Suffrage
Association is conducting an active
campaign in two counties-Hartford
and New Haven Counties. These cam
pafgns have now been in progress for
several weeks, and the results are be-
ginning to be seen in the formation
OF new equal franchise Leagues. Three
of these leagues have already taken
definite forn-those in Wo1cott, Bris-
toll and Simsbury-and a number of
others are expected to form perEna-
nent organizations within a very short
time. There will probably be a little
delay in the work until the Christmas
holidays are over, for it is not thought
wise to organize at a time when so
many of the women are engrossed in
Christmas preparation and domestic
matters The two organizers who
are carrying out these campaigns
Miss Katherine Mullen in New Haven
County and Mrs. John Allen in Hart
ford County are shoWing\ themselves
most efficient and the effect of this
quiet but thorough canvassing Of the
smaller towns is expected to be OBJ
vious before the next election of Rep
resentatives to the Legislature.
The attention of Suffragists for the
next two weeks will be fixed on
Washington, for hopes are high for the
passage of the Susan B. Anth ony
amendment by Congress during the
coming session. On Monday President
Wilson is to receive the ENJOYS OF the
voting women of the Western states.
These women come to Washington
not only with the strength of the wo-
men voters behind them but also
with endorsements from mayors and
governors all the way across the Con-
tinenf from California to New York.
The knowledge that the cause of wo-
man suffrage is endorsed by SO great
q host of voters, and also the knowl-
edge that over million men cast
their ballots in favor of equal suffrage
in the eastern states must impress not
only the President but also every
member both OF the House and Of the
Senate. These men who have not yet
given the subject serious considera-
ton will be obliged to do during the
coming session. and those men who
are amenable to the pressure of votes
and to the desire to be on the band
wagon, will not be likely to range
themselves in opposition to a cause
which is so manifestly headed for
success.
On the other hand the real states
mantle men who understand the ba-
sal principles on which this great Re-
public is founded~-wul realize the jus
tice OF the women's cause. They will
see that the principle of democracy,
if it is worth anything, must apply
to women as well as to men, and
that only when SO applied can it be
held to be the controlling principle
of the politics of this country.

READING ADVERTISING.

Quite a number OF the large news
papers of the country have recently
been printing a series of articles in
which they set out to educate their
readers to the advantages of close
scrutiny of their advertising col
umns.
They argue that these business no
tees contain in every issue q market
report of trade conditions, and di-
rectory Of bargains, and that by look
ing them over from day to day, the
consumer can learn OF special chances
to buy cheapiy and can thus greatly
reduce the cost of living.
1t is suggested in these articles that
many people are paying too much
money for their household goods and
clothing, because they do not look
out carefully enough for the bargains
that are available. There are some
people who will not anticipate their
wants at all, even if an article which
they are going to need in the near
future is advertised at a low rate for
a. special drive. Such people are not
in position to complain if they pay
good rund prices.
While this is perfectly true it ap-
plies more to the readers of the
newspapers in big cities than it does
to smaller cities. In a community
like this, there is very close reading
OF newspaper A0N 111S
is not done merely by people who
are looking for some special bargain,
but there is much interest in local
business enterprises. People like to
see what this or that merchant is do
ing. They may have no special wants
that they want to supply at some
given time, but they are interested
in the competition between home ner-
chants.
They look at the work of the home
stores and their various merchandise
undertakings as one of the features
of the life of the town, to be followed
with interest from day to day. News
paper advertising is the medium
through which they look for this in
formation. The great majority of our
people follow it closely. Others who
do not study it carefully as was noted
above, are missing the best available
chance to reduce living costs.
