Proof of Close Connection Be-
tween Liquor Interests
and Ants.

1t is the policy Of the West Vir-
ginia Equal Suffrage Association TO
avoid personalities and controversies
in its campaign for the adoption OF
the pending franchise amendment to
the state constitution. But, since
the close of the Iowa campaign, the
organization opposed to votes for wo-
men has sent a number Of anti speak
ers into this state. In several Of the
larger cities these people have had a
public hearing. They have been most
insistent that there is and has been
no connection or afIlliation between
their organization and the liquor and
vice interests Of the country.
Enboldened by the desire OF the
Charleston, the following resolution
was adopted:
"Resolved-That in the language
of the National Grange we declare
emphatically and unqualitiedly IN
favor of woman suffrage"
