 SUFFRAGE NEWS
"A. e. Porritt. !


 The most interesting suffrage news at the present time comes from the campaign states-Massach New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In three of these states Connecticut suffragists are taking an active part. Miss Emily Pierson is the life of the cam paign in. a considerable part of New Jersey. She is hard at work with her customary energy and zeal winning votes for the New Jersey Wo- men; and she sends back very hope fuI accounts of the progress of the campaign. The most hopeful feature she tells her friends here, is the wide awake, progressive spirit that char acterizes the New Jersey voter. New Jersey is much more anxious for progress and Improvement than is Connecticut, and this aspiration for better government will stand the wo- men in good stead when polling day comes around towards the end of Oc- tober. Miss A1yse Gregory also sends good account of the work that is be- ing done in and around Newark. The New Jersey women are well or ganized and are very seriously in earnest in their fight, and before the end of the summer the whole state will have been thoroughly canvassed and thousands of voters pledged to give their votes for the suffrage amendment.
 In Massachusetts the help that is being given by Connecticut suffragists is mostly along the borders of Con nectfcut. Mrs. A. E. S. Taylor of INorfoIk, instead of confining her work to her own state, and county of LitchfieId, is extending her suffrage work over the border to the north. The same thing is going on along the northern edge Of Windham county and Hartford suffragists are going in7 to Maasach chusettS around SpringfieId
 There was big mass meeting in Springfield last, Wednesday at which Mrs. Thomas N Hepburn Of Hart ford, president of the c. w., s. A. divided the honors with pr. Anna H. Shaw the president of the National Association- The meeting had two objects to convert as many people as possible to 8, belief in woman suffrage and to raise money for the campaign. and the Sprin gfie1d suffragists will go forward in their portion of the field much strengthened by this great ane successful meeting.
 The cry that woman suffrage is a failure in Colorado because the wo- men cast a light vote at the election op May 17th will hardly make much Impression on those people in Con necticut who recall the very light vote cast by the men voters in many of our town and city elections this spring. It is the common experience that when few officials and few ques- tions are to be voted upon, the voters do not come out in the large numbers that are called out when a. full cleo ton is held. At the Denver election of last week, not only were the sofff- cia1s to be elected few and comparaz lively uiaiEnportant; but the weather was most extraordinarily bad. A rag ing snowstorm in May is liable to

make even the most conscientious voter pause before she goes out to the polls. Of course the women ought to go to vote no matter what the them stayed at home in Denver at the spring election no more discred- it's woman suffrage than does the fact that the men in Hartford did like wise discredit man suffrage. Hart ford is not going to demand an auto cracy instead of a democratic govern ment because all the voters did not go to the polls; and although one disgruntled woman office holder is reported to have declared after the election that woman suffrage is a failure, it is very unlikely that even she will remain of this opinion af- ter she has got over her first dis appointment.
 To the surprise and disappointment of the opponents of woman suffrage and especially of the Hartford CollJ ant, the new league in Hartford. which was formed a couple of.weeks ago with Miss Annie Elliott Trum- bull at it's head, is not showing any disposition to quarrel with the older leagues in the city and the Hartford Equal Franchise League Is showing remarkable cordiality and friendIi- ness to the newcomer. As a. matter of fact the new league was formed
  older body, and it is the strong desire of the H. ID. F.. l.. that the league may gather into it's ranks a large ana powerful body of Hartford women.
 There are now four suffrage leagues in Hartford-each working on it's own lines, but all in harmony in the work for woman sunrage. The old est is the Hartford Equal Rights Club, of which Mrs. E. D. Bacon is the president. The second is the Hartford Equal Franchise League with Mrs. M. Tosean Bennett at its, head. The third is the Equality League of Self Supporting Women headed by Miss Juliett Corn, and the fourth the new league of which Mss TrumbulI is president-
 The same tendency to form e mum Der of suffrage associations is shown in several of the other cities Many of the women feel that they can work better in small organizations; but they are all affiliated with the statR association and all ready to help cor dfally in the common work.

A WIFE NEVER HOME
Dear Miss Libbey.-

Dear Miss Libbey--
 My age is twenty-flve years. My wife is twenty-five. She has every thing she wants. I try to please her in every respect I would like to know why she's wanting to always go to places. She don't like to stay at home at all, she prefers to take pleasure trips on trains, and is always away from home in the evening I want to ask you for advice.
 R.s. While these times, it is said, that there are five women to, every man, it is also mentioned that not every wo- man can find a true lover to lead CT to the altar. The husband who pro vides the best he can for his wife should be fully appreciated, looked after, and his days and evenings made cheerful and happy. The wife who neglects these duties has not much heart. She might want in the future

Torrey finds that this ber- ry, which is entirely different from the American partridge berry, is a variety of the cranberry Of Ameri- can commerce.

London, Oct 29-Germany's thrust
into the Balkans Is being taken more
seriously by England than any other
war phase yet developed II has made
the English realize that while Eng
land itself practically is immune from
direct attack as a colonial empire
Great Britain is open to indirect as

than an actual landing on the English
coast
Doubt no longer exists that the ulti.
mate end of the German Balkan
campaign is Egypt and India.
II is estimated that in European

100000 soldiers awaiting only the
munitions and equipment Germany
can furnish as soon as she has crush

Carefully guarded inquiries will be

The conference between Kaiser

Therefore confirmation of any peace

TO GUIDE CARRANZA POLICY
Reason for John Lind's Hurried Trip
to Mexico.

Washington, Oct 29.-Officials of
the Carranza agency here admitted
that John Lind of Minnesota has gone
to Mexico to confer with First Chief
Carranza on questions affecting the
welfare of the new de facto govern
ment of the republic. Carranza
places great reliance in the counsel of
Mr.. Lind and is appreciative of the
endeavors made in behalf of the con-
stitutional government by the Mime
sofa man prior to recognition by the
United States.
Mr.. Lind had a great deal to do with
the formation of the policy that re.
suited in Carranza's recognition by
this government and it is the under
standing here that Carranza desires
the advice OF Mr.. Lind relative to the
future relations of Mexico with the
United States.
