The date of the national convention
of the American Equal Suffrage asso-
citation has been changed, and the
meeting will be an emergency cOnven-
ton to be held in Atlantic City, Sep
TENDER to 10, inclusive. The con-
ventions are usually held after the
presidential election, but this year it
will be held before the election. The
association wishes to make some de-
cision as to the best method to pro-
coed regarding the election, so as to
further the efforts of the organization
toward the attainment of national
equal suffrage.
The association expects that the suf-
frage resolution will be voted on in
the senate before the present session
is over. A Democratic senator from
Colorado will introduce the resolution,
having received notice from the asso-
citation that they are willing a vote
| should be taken without a discussion.
/ The association wishes to know Just
where the senators stand; whether the
Democrats will think it necessary to
stand by their party suffrage policy,
and if the Republicans are seriously
interested in the suffrage stand of
their party.
The women of the organization be-
Heve that Hughes stands pledged to
the suffrage policy of the Progressive
measures which he adopted from that
party's platform.
The national association will hold
Its meetings in the Nixon theater on
the Board Walk of Atlantic Citv. and
the headquarters for the delegates will
be at the Marlborough Blenheim.
Kansas will doubtless be represented
at the convention, but no arrange
ments have yet been made nor dele
gates chosen.

The Shawnee County Golf course
mas been the subject of comment
from one end of the state to the other
among golf players on account of the
natural qualifications of the land for
the situation of links. Those who

that the hollows and humps provided
oy providence are strictly to the lik-
ing OF mankind for a golf course.

site or golf land this tract offers some
other advantages If YOU ever no.

especially in demand. All the golfers
play till they are worn to fiddle

noon they pair off and HE them to
the shade of the willows. The trees
are so lacy that the lovers can look
through the branches and see for
