suffrage in the city, with the incoming
of the new official board and the OPEN
ing of the spring season, and the pres

League, Miss Marguerite Ingraham,
is very optimistic indeed, over the out

a most efficient part in the suffrage
work in the city, and as chairman of

valuable work for the league. It is
seldom that one finds in one family
three such ardent advocates as are
found in the presidents family, her
sister, Miss Isabel Ingraham being
chairman of the program committee,
and her mother, Mrs. Walker Ingra
ham, serving as chairman of the Third
Congressional District.

Pensacola Suffrage League, has an
nounced Friday, March oath. as the
date of the big mass meeting of
women to be held in the city, for the
purpose Of deciding upon a woman
candidate to run on a independent
ticket as a member of the school
board. At the meeting, in which all
women of the city are invited to take
part. suggestions will be received and
qualifications discussed.
Miss Ingraham said last night, in
speaking of the proposed mass meet
ing: "Please try to impress upon the
women of Pensacola that this invita-
ton is intended to include every
women in the city, it matters not
whether suffragist, teacher, club
woman, a home-maker, of business

want the women of Pensacola, whom
we have not been able to reach, to
consider this a special invitation to
attend this meeting, which will mean
so much to the city and to education.
