nouncement made to-day at the Con-
gressional committee headquait.rs The

linols. Wisconsin. Michigan. Missouri,
Nebraska and South Dakota. Never be-
fore has there heen such a concerted
national effort for Federal suffrage legis-
laton.

the late Mark Hanna, perfected this
summer plan by which every Repre-
sentative and senator who did not vote
for the Bristow- -Mondell amendment in
the last Congress- and every new member
whose position is uncertain shall he
made aware of tire sentiment in his dis
,r!ct for national amendment.

and Representatives before their de-
parture for Washington. November le

parties
Mrs. Mccormick says that these dem-
constructions will be attended by dele
gates from every local league in each
district and by the full membership. as
far as possible. The Representative
and Senator will he invited to attend
and speak. but whether he accepts or
not resolutions will be adopted and pre-
sented to him asking for his support for
the susan H. Anthony amendment.
When the national convention meets in
Washingto on December II all these
resolutions will be presented to Congress.
Only the States where women do not
have full suffrage have been asked to
Join in this movement. since the repre-
sentatives in Congress from the suf-
frage States almost to man voted for
the amendment at the last session.
The three States which have referen-
dums this all--Massachusetts New
York and Pennsyvana-have been too
engrossed with their own campaigns to
give any attention to national suffrage,
but their leaders, besides those of New
Jersey. have assured Mrs. Mccormick
OF their full cooperation when the cam
paigns are over. Iowa and West Nir-
sinia are also now classed AZ campaisn
