which it is affiliated, is not conduct
ing a fight upon either President Viii
son or Judge Hughes, in the present
national presidential campaign, and
is remaining strictly nOn-partiSan in
its campaign 10 obtain the right of
suffrage for women, was the interest
ing and impor, ant statement made
yesterday by Mrs. o. f. Ellington, of
Little Rock, president Of the state
association.
Mrs. Ellington spent the greater
part of yesterday in Pine Bluff, in
conference with local women who
are interested in the cause of equal
suffrage, relative to he plans for the
forthcoming meeting of the Arkansa s
Women's Suffrage association, which
is to be held in Pine Bluff early in
October.
1t is generally admitted that the
leaders in the suffrage forces are
among the brainiest, smartest women
of the country, and ii can be under
stood, therefore, that Mrs. Ellington
is a gifted onversationalist quick
to see a point and quick to- make one,
apt at repartee, and able to point
out clearly quite a number Of reasons
why the women Of he United States
should have the vote.
Says States Should Act.
AS in the plan Of the National As
ISOLATION for Equal Suffrage, Mrs. Ell
lington believes the women of each
state should endcavor to obtain the
ballot in that sta c, instead of work
ing for a federal law, by means of
an act of congress. The COMPRESSION
al Union for Equal Suffrage, accord
ing to Mrs. Ellington, is now taking
active part in the presidential cam
paign, some Of it's speakers making
campaign speeches in favor of Judge
Hughes and the Republican party and
attacking President Wilson and the
Democratic party.
The national suffrage association,
and the Arkansas association which
is affiliated with it, IS having nothing
to do in the presidential campaign.
1t is continuing it's activities in the
several states, and is remaining nom
partisan, seeking the support of indl-
vidual members Of both the old par
ties. I I
Mrs. Ellington, in conversation be-
fore the meeting yesterday afternoon,
expressed her personal opinion that
President Wilson has made more
definite statement in favor of woman
suffrage than has Judge Hughes, in
that he plainly expressed his belief
that women should have the ballot,
but that it was question of states
rights, to be settled by the various
states In this view, Mrs. Ellington
and the leader Of the National As
sociation for Equal Suffrage and OF
the Arkansas association, coincide
That point is the one principal differ
ence, also, between their organization
and the Congressional Union for Wo-
mems Suffrage.
Going to West Virginia.
Mrs. Ellington will leave in few
days for West Virginia, where the
men voters of the state will VOC in
October on the women suffrage ques-
ton. She will assist in the campaign
there, and will later go to Atlantic
City, where she will attend the an
nual conference of the National AS
sociation for Equal Suffrage, which
