the Blountstown Record expresses
himself most favorably toward the
equal franchise.
The editors of the Clearwater Sun,
Chipley Verdict, South Florida SEN
tinel, Orlando Reporters Star, Lake
land Telegram, and the Meridian Dis
patch, which, of course, is not a state
paper, were certainly not unfavor-
able. In later issue the Palatka
News, the Jacksonville State, and
Bristol Free Press had comments
none of which expressed any dis
favor towards suffrage. The State is
and has been since its founding an
open advocate of woman suffrage
The st. Augustine Meteor is another
paper commenting without express
sion of disfavor. Henry S. McKen-
nall, editor Times Herald of Putnam
County, expressed his personal belief
in suffrage, but believed that the pub
lie needed to be educated along suff-
rage lines.
This edition was published little
more than a year ago. At that time
there was much suffrage sentiment ir
Florida, and this interest is rapidly
growing, in spite of the vicious inter.
ests which have worked against suff.
rage in the legislature and in the
state from the beginning. If there

year. That there are a number Of
southern women who are members of
the two suffrage organizations, the
National Association and the South

Literary Digest has presented to the
American people a splendid poll in
favor of suffrage. The ayes have it,
declares the Digest. If the states
have been as inadequately reported
as Florida has been, the ayes indeed
more than have it.

this right had been accorded to them
that many of the evils that we now
complain of would have long ago
been eliminated. So the reason that
l have not given more space to the
subject is not because I am lukewaFrn
but it is because my paper is so small

however, be pleased to accept your

of the column I promised to issue

may be stated that the editor of the
Lynn Haven Tribune is a most at
tractive young woman, who is making
good in Florida journalism, and at
the same time contributes to current
magazines, Mrs. Clara B. Roth.
The Pensacola News has carried at
least one very strong editorial favor
ing Woman Suffrage, and the splen-
did articles that Miss Maura has con-
tributed to its woman's department
have had very wide influence in pro-
noting suffrage sentiment.
These are by no means the only
newspapers carrying much suffrage
propaganda, and certainly showing
themselves in no way opposed to the
vote for women. The Miami Herald
is in favor of suffrage, so 1 have been
reliably informed. While the Moline
Advertiser has carried some anti
suffrage propaganda, the sentiment
in and about Molino has been so
strong that it has turned over new

issue will take up the very remark
able statement of the Digest that "al-
most the entire southern people are

the editor of the Digest went for his
information. Certainly it is no more
accurate than the statement in re-
gard to Florida communities and
newspapers. Has the editor of the

Christmas a happy time for the chill

1t is planned to have a Municipal
Christmas tree lighted for several
nights during Christmas week, in the
Garden street parkway. The distri-

probably the Armory, if it can be
secured.
1t is also planned by those who are
interested in the Christmas work, to
have Christmas carols on the nights
on which the tree is illuminated and
on Christmas Eve. The young wo-
men believe that the Christmas sea-

if they will get the real Christmas
spirit, and so they hope to make
Christmas week not only a merry

done the other newspapers of Florida,
and that Pensacola, at least, is prop

sve cities.
Here are a few facts, which are
readily substantiated, and gathered
in a half hours search through my
files:
In September, 1914, The Pensacola
Journal issued a special suffrage edi-
ton under the auspices of The Pen
sacola Equal Suffrage League, of
which I was editor-in-chief, and in
this edition I find the following facts
which may cast light on the opinion
of the press and public at that time
The response of public men, including
members of the press, was so much
greater than was anticipated that it
was found necessary to carry several
additional pages later in the fall to
take care of the surplus expressions
in favor of suffrage.
In this edition and its overflow
there were strong articles advocating
the franchise for women from the
Hon. Frank Harris of the Ocala Ban
ner, Clarence E. Woods of the Estero
Eagle, R. W. Storrs Of the DeFuniak
Breeze, and there were expressions
less strong in advocacy, but favorable
in tone from H. H. McCreary of the
Gainesville Sun, who was not per-
sonally sympathetic but favored sub
hitting the question to the voters of
The state, through an amendment to
he state constitution; a humorous
resentment of the question by Ed
win Lambright of the Tampa Tri-
rune. Later the Tribune carried three
comments on the edition which ex-
pressed certainly no unfavorable at
titude. In The Journal of September

leaf. It's proprietor, N. ]. Lillard,
general manager of the Escambia
County Fair, is in favor of the votes
for women. The city editor of the
Munson Times, Mrs. George w. Chill
derson, told me personally that she is
in favor of votes for women, and the
Times is on my list of papers to
whom weekly suffrage news is dis
tributed. The Lakeland Telegram has
had number of articles so close to
the advocacy of the ballot for wo-
men that it is easily seen that it will
not be long before they will declare
for the equal franchise.

SHOP EARLY IN
PENSACOLA.

Have you begun to think about
Christmas? Perhaps you think it is
too early for that, but be assured
there are many who are thinking of
the Christmas season, already, and
not with joy but with dread. 1t
would be an easy thing to make
Christmas Gme if not time, of joy,
not a time, at least, of dread antici-
patton. Why not try this year to put
some real consideration into our
Christmas giving? And can we be-
gin to do that in any better way,
than by beginning our shopping
early? 1t will help the girl behind
the counter wonderfully if we do this.
Let US try it.
