ASK PRESIDENTIAL
WOMEN SUFFRAGE
Suffragisls of State in Confer
ence Here Plan Bigger
Campaifn

Suffragists of PENNSYLVANIA replied
to Representative Flynn, who declared
yesterday that the House of Represen-
tatives should kill woman suffrage
once and for all" when delegates from
nt6ny counties of the State meeting IN
>leir annual spring conference in the
Y. w. c. A. this morning passed mo-
ton to introduce Immediately a bill
asking for Presidential suffrage for
women.
At the same time the delegates de-
clared that they would pay all pledges
due the State organization amounting
to approximately $4,000 to continue
their campaign. In addition, several
of the county representatives an
nounced that they would be respon-
Sible for raising amounts equal to their
suffrage pledges to be used in patrio-
tic service in connection with the war.
In discussing the defeat of their
amendment and the unprecedented ac-
ton taken upon the question of re-
consideration. and led by wet" cham
pions, speakers including Mrs. J. O.
Miller. the presiding officer and chair
man of the legislative committee, call
ed upon those members of the House
pledged to their cause, who We're alb
sent to explain their absence, and
condemned those other pledged men,
bers who were present and by their
voting against the suffrage resolution
broke written or oral pledges. 1t was
the general opinion of the delegates
present, that in the future women
must work more actively during the
election of election boards and in the
primaries.
The following resolution was pass
ed and copies will be sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States, Congress-
men from Pennsylvania, and mem
bers of the Legislature.
Whereas, All authorities have en-
phaszed the need of conserving grain
crops and increasing national food
supplies; and
Whereas, Great quantities of grain
are used annually for the manufacture
of, liquor, thus lessening greatly the
supply available for foods.
Be 1t Resolved, That the Pennsyl-
vania Woman Suffrage Organization
urge the President of the United
States, the Congress of the United
States, and the Legislature of the
Comm of Pennsylvania to de-
wise laws preventing the use of grains
for the manufacture of liquors or
other beverages, and to conserve the
same for the making of foodstuffS for
the duration of the war.
Frankly admitting that they were
keenly disappointed in the defeat OF
the suffrage resolution in the House
yesterday by only three votes, the
executive board members and dele
gates present presented stern and
undaunted front. and the decision to
renew their fight Immediately with
the Presidential suffrage bill was
unanimous.
