 SUFFRAGE NEWS
Bv A. Porrittl ]

The August meeting of the Execu- tive Board of the c. w. $. A, was held this week at the home of Mrs. George H. Day at Fenwfck. Fen wick is a convenient center during the summer because both Mrs. Day and Mrs. Thornas N. Hepburn, the Presi- dent of the c. w. s. A., have their summer homes there, while Mrs. Car los Stoddard is at Madison, and Mrs. Frederick Spencer at Gui1ford. The chairman of Windharn- County-Miss Rosamond Danie1son; and the chair man of New London County are also within easy reach. One of the f7n4 portant matters that came before the board was the choice of a new chair man for New London County. This change is due to the fact that Dr. Esther s. B.. Woodward has recently left Norwich for New Haven. The Board unanimously elected to the va cant place Miss Katherine Ludfngton of Lyme. Miss Ludington has done wonderful work in building up a strong organization in Lyme, and has also extended her activities to other |neighboring towns. Hence the coun- ty work will be only in line with her recent activities.
 One of the most interesting reports read at the Board meeting was from the Danielson Equal Franchise Lea gue. It contained an account of the great open ar meeting held in Dan ielson on Friday, August IS. The management of this meeting had been in the hands of Mrs. Rienzi Robinson and the members of the Board were greatly impressed by it's success. Over a thousand people were gathered in the park in the center of Danielsont on Friday evening. The first attrac- tion was the band, which had been engaged by the Danielson Equal Fran chise League to supply an overture to the proceedings. When the band an introductory speech and then pro ceeded to introduce Mrs Thomas N. Hepburn, President of the State As sociation. Mrs. Hepburn spoke clear 1y and slowly and her voice carried so we'll that she was heard with ease by people sitting in automobiles on the fringe of the crowd. The meet ing was so complete a success that Mrs. Robinson is now busy arranging for another which will be held in the near future
 Among other recent meetings re- ported to the Board was one at Strat- ford on the previous day. one at Ber- lin, one at Taddam Neck and one at Gi1ead and one at Middlefe1d. From every part of the state it was report ed that the granges were taking great interest in the question of woman suffrage and were inviting suffrage speakers to address their meetings or to address meetings specially got up for the purpose.
