 Plans and Projects of State Suffra-
 gists.
 Members of the P. E. F. League who attended the last annual convention | of the c, w. S A, in Hartford, are for suffragists which will be the spring convention or conference arranged at the time of the last state annual con- | vention in October. This conference | was to be held in early spring, and now that spring is here the question of it's exact date and of the arrange ments for it must be decided. Prob ably when the convention voted in fla Vor of holding a spring conference it was not foreseen that at the begin ming of April roads would still be i'm passable from snow, and the first con sideration will have to be the reestab- lishment of easy communications in the rural districts of Connecticut, with this in view at the executive board meeting of the c. W. S. A, Hartford, Is in no haste to fix the date of the conference until it is seen whether the weather man is going to pay any at tention to the calendar and to realize that we are already in the second week
 of spring.
 The object of the conference is to
 bring together the members of the many equal franchise leagues and
 clubs, especially those in the more re-
 mote parts of the state and to com
 pare notes as to their plans and meth ods of the work. The different leagues especially many of those in the small CT towns have displayed a wonderful amount of ingenuity in devising new and original methods of work-bott for getting money for the cause and 5 also for bringing woman suffrage be- fore the attention of their communi- . ties.
 These plans have differed in differ.
 ent parts of the state and even from
 one town to another. But every league needs constant renewals of efforts, anC
 a change of methods is often of grea , value in reawakening enthusiasm. B! bringing the members of the differen leagues together in a kind of expert 2 ence meeting one leageu can learn b! ? the example of others, while at tn . same time it can be a teacher ant give instructions as to new and bet . ter ways of working Without doub
 every leaguer Windham county vii be represented.
 At the conference also an effort vii = be made to gather full delegation O
 women to go to Chicago early in Jun v for the republican national convention d At this time the suffragists, under tn e leadership of the National Woman q Suffrage association, are planning ' great demonstration and it is hope q that there will be a large delegation e from Connecticut to warrant the talk e ing of a special car to Chicago. MT. II T. N. Hepburn, the president of tn lt cEairmanship of the delegation ha K been awarded to Mrs. Ernest Thomp g son Seton, who has repeatedly dem - onstrated her ability for carrying ou k plans of a similar kind.
 o After the board meeting was ad
 journed luncheon was served under tn
 direction of Mrs. George H. Day.
