Leaders of the woman suffrage move
ment met here today to outline the
policy and lay plans for the participa-
ton of the Woman's National party
in the presidential campaign. The
conference was called by the national
executive committee of the party and
was attended by committee members,
chairman of the suffrage organiza-
tons of the congressional districts in
states where women vote, and women
prominent in the movement in other
states.
Leaders say the conference prob
ably will adopt policy of rebuke
toward the Wilson administration fol-
failing to make the Susan b. Anthony

law. An endorsement of the candi
dacy of Charles E. Hughes was ex
pected by many.

They are to make no appeal to the

women vote. Personal political affilia-

Women suffrage leaders from many
states were arriving here early to-
day. Miss Anne Martin, of Reno,

WITT DAY PLANS.
Billy Leonard of Boston Tells Barre Fans
"All Up"


To the Baseball Editor:
As we are planning Witt day June q
thought ii an honor for the fans in
Barre to know that Witt was first dis
covered as a find when the Boston Reds
were touring Vermont An accident
which occurred to one of the Reds play
ers, who was hit by an auto, gave Witt
his chance, as Manager Billy Leonard
signed him to play. Witt toured for
three months with the Reds through Yer
mont, New Hampshire and the provinces.
At the end OF the trip Leonard signed
him for Connie Mack.
The Italian A. G. of Barre deserves a
great deal of credit for Witt making
good, as it was through their recommend
that Leonard took Witt along. The |. A.
G. were the fastest lot OF players the
Reds met on their trip. As they develop
some fast players Scout Leonard will
look them over each season. Connie
Mack says ii he can get another Witt he
will win another pennant In 1917.
All up June % and make Witt day a
big success.
Respectfully,
Billy Leonard,
Leonard Bros. Sea Food,
. Dundee St., Boston.
