QUERIES OF "ANTIS"
STIR RIVAL CAMPS
Suffragists and Their Antago-
nists Show Equal Interest in
the Prize Contest.

The rival camps of the "suffs" and the
"antis" in this city are greatly agitated
over the anu-suffrage prize contest being
conducted by the Pennsylvania Associa-
ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage. Prizes
sggregating $50 are offered by the as
ISOLATION for the best answers given to
nine question presented, which are said
to touch upon many of the important
points in the woman suffrage question.
Suffragists are eager ITO get at the ques-
tions and prove that answers favor their
cause, while the ahtis are just as eager
to receive them and show that the anti
side wins
In speaking of the associations con-
test Miss Caroline Katzenstein, a promi-
nent suffragist in this city, and secretary
OF the Equal Franchise Society, said:
'Suffraglsts are glad to hear of the con-
test, and Will welcome IL, as they are
eager to have all sides of the woman
suffrage question examined and interest
in the matter aroused. Though some of
the questions presented should elicit
answers seemingly against woman suf-
iraGe, we shall not be perturbed, as the
information necessarily gathered in look
ing up such answers will embody so much
that Is in favor of woman suffrage that
1t Will completely overwhelm that against
IT, For instance, perhaps in looking up
the questions and answers a person may
hit upon the recent action in California,
n suffrage State, where a resolution
passed both Houses stating that woman
suffrage was unquallhedly success, and
that the Legislature passed the resolution
to convince other non-suffrage States OF
the benefit derived from giving women
the vote"
