WASHINGTON. July 1.-Announcement
was made by the National Congressional
Committee OF the National American Women

It's convention this year three months

Miss Hannah Patterson, the national corre-
spending secretary, came to Washington In
the interest of the suffrage legislation.
Together with Mrs. Frank NJ Roessing,
chairman OF the National Congressional
Committee, and Miss Mary Garret Hay,
vice chairman. they presented to the voters
OF the Western suffrage States a request
on behalf OF the national association for a
vote on the suffrage resolution at this

that this would be secured, and suffrage
senator's proffered definite help.
Steps viii also be taken to get the reso-
luton out OF the House Judiciary Com

iourn before August 20, the significance OF
the request OF the National Association and
the time set for the holding of their ma
tional convention Is obvious.
