WILL ELECT OFFICERS
Gathering at haywood Hotel Will
Choose New Directors and Formulate
Plans for Winter War-service Is
Paramount Begins Promptly at 8.

sSThe world will never be wholly
safe for democracy until women
vote. Suffrage work is patriotic be-
cause its aims are identical with those
of our soldiers in France-to make
America safe and democracy sure.
Equipped with the vote, women win
give even more than now, whole-heart-
de, grateful, efficient service to our
country"
Firm in their belief in the truth of
these statements, the women of the
Kenosha County Equal Suffrage League
will hold their annual meeting on
Thursday evening, November 9Th, in
the parlors of the haywood hotel. Mem
bers are urged to attend and bring
their friends. A program of reports
of the years work, plans for work
operation in ali Kenosha war-work Will
be followed by an informal reception
and conservation refreshments.
No small part of the evenings dis
cussion will be given to war-work as is
shown by the call for attendance. The
letter to the various members reads in
part: Gully realizing the Importance
of certain kinds Of suffrage work for
the coming winter your executive board
believes that for each of our members
the one imperative duty is to respond
to every call for service in all depart
ments of war-work Our vice-president,
Mrs. III. B. Robinson, is chairman of
the Committee on Hospital Supplies for
the Kenosha Red Cross chapter. From
her comes the information that workers
are lacking in the sewing rooms at head
quarters and the request that the suf-
frage league help to supply that lack. )"
Thereafter the members are asked to
sign pledge appended to the letter
by which they promise to work at least
three hours week for the local Red
Cross unit.
Following the discussion and settle
ment of war-questions confronting the
league, the annual election of Officers
will be held. The slate submitted to the
body by the nominating committee is
as follows: For president, Miss Harriet
Balm; for first vice-president, Mrs. B. F.
haywood; for second vice-president,
Mrs. Pope; for third vice-president,
Mrs. Fl. B. Robinson; for secretary,
Mrs. George Mcintyre; for treasurer,
Miss E. E. Robinson; for chairman of
the Patriotic Committee, Mrs. 0. L. Ire
nary; for auditor, Mrs. Edward Peter
sen; for the board of directors, Mrs.
Adolph Epstein, Mrs. John Pitts, Mrs.
Roy K. Dorr, Mrs. A. w Gillespie,
Mrs. w. w. Smith, Mrs. Malcolm Farr,
Mrs. Lawrence Baldwin, Miss Eleanore
Casey, Miss Helen Barden, and Miss
Emma Brister
The main address Of the evening
session will be delivered by Mrs. D. O.
Head who will discuss the topic of
(" War-Work for KenosLa Women"
With wide experience as head of the
local Women s League, Mrs. Head is in
every way qualified to speak on this
timely subject. Her successful talks
in other meetings in various parts of
the city give promise of an interesting
discourse and an eloquent appeal for
patriotic service.
During the course of the program the
program of woman suffrage in all
parts of the world will be given special
attention. The advancement made in
England since the outbreak of the
war, the conversion of Ex-Premier
Asquith, and the significant appoint
ment of DIR. Anna Howard Shaw to the
Craftsmanship of the Woman's Com
mittee of the National Council of De-
Tense will be interestingly presented
by various suffragists. These infor-
NAL talks will undoubtedly be conducive
to enthusiasm and will show the i'm
portant relation between woman suf-
frage and war-work.
In view of the fact that the Liberty
Ball has been placed on the same date
set some time ago for the suffrage
meeting the officials have announced
that the session viii begin promptly at
500 O'Clock. This will make it easily
possible to adjourn the meeting in
ample time for attendance at the dance
which does not begin until 1890. In
this way the assemblage will not con
fist in any way with the Liberty Ball
and consequently will not interfere
with thai patriotic movement.
