SUFFRAGE PARTY
TO HAVE new NAME

Atlantic City, n. j.. Sept. S.--The
name National Woman Suffrage
Party" may supplant National Amer
lean Woman's Suffrage Association
as the title OF the national organiza-
tion OF suffragists, following dis
cusslon at this afternoons session Of
the convention.
The women advocating the change
declare the present name too cumber-
some. They believe their proposal
will 60 through by a big vote.
The convention will also consider
the adoption OF new national suf-
frage emblem. The design suggested
by Pennsylvania delegates, flag
with a yellow field in the center of
which is an eagle with outstretched
wings standing upon a globe, is most
favored. Surrounding the eagle and
the globe are IL stars, symbolical OF
the states in which women enjoy the
franchise. This flag is regarded as
more artistic and expressive than the
present plain yellow flag of the suf-
fragists.
Nominations were to be made to-
day for three offices on the national
board. Mrs. Frank Roseing, first
vice-president; Miss Hannah ]. Pat
terson, corresponding secretary, and
Mrs. James w. Morrison, recording
secretary, will resign. Mrs. Walter
McNabb Miller, of Columbia univer-
sity, Missouri. is mentioned for first
vice-president. and Mrs. Thomas JEFF
ferson Smith. OF Kentucky. is slated
to succeed Mrs. Miller,
Out OF Difference to his wishes. no
escort will accompany President Will
son to the Auditorium when he ar
rives to address the suffragists to-
might.
