A SUFFRAGE LEAGUE ORGANIZED. Last
Monday evening in Memorial Hall Mrs. Au-
gusta C. Hughston of New York, representa-
tive of the National Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation, addressed The first suffrage meeting to
be held in Belfast. She is touring Maine in
the interest of the suffrage movement and is
organizing leagues in the places visited. There
was fair sized audience present, including
few interested men. Mrs. Essie P. Garlic, the
president of the Belfast Woman's Club, pre-
sided and introduced Mrs. Hughston. who dis
cussed the suffrage question generally and
particularly as relating to Maine. Sixty years
ago in this State she said that women did not
own even their clothing and we're without re-
sponsibiity in any form outside their own
homes. She based womans claim to suffrage
on the fundamental principles that they rep
resented half the human race, and that those
who obey the laws should have share in
making the laws, and said that women are to-
day doing half the worlds work in all the
walks of life. In reply to questions from the
audience she said that the suffrage movement
was not reform movement, but demand
for the ballot on the fundamental principles
above stated, and also replied to the sugges-
ton that charging the vote would not i'm
pr owe present conditions. Tuesday afternoon
at meeting in the Municipal court room I'M
) der the direction of Mrs, Hughston the Bel
. fast Woman's Suffrage League was organized
} with the following officers: President, Mrs
, William v. Pratt; vice president. Mrs. James
; C. Durham; recording secretary. Mrs. Grace C
. Pillsbury; corresponding secretary. Miss Mel
} vina v. Parker; treasurer, Miss Marian Hazel.
