Suffrage workers here gave out the following Saturday, relative to thelE activities in the state:
 + Connecticut is taking part in the na- tion-w wide enterprise arranged by the National Woman Suffrage association for the week beginning February Q The pin is that aspecial g>Slrage is- sue of one of the newspapers fin one town or city in every county should be publisi-N-l that week. suffrage special edition in every county through out the length and breadth of the Unit ed States is the aim of the National Suffrage association. It is harly likely that this aim will be fully realized. In fact there are many counties i'm the United States in which there isf not a single daily newspaper issued. But undoubtedly there will be larger pub licaticn of suffrage news and suffrage features in every state of the Union than has ever been seen before in the history of this or any other country.
 Paper to Be Published.
 The newspaper editors and publish CTS in this state are taking a warm in terest in the enterprise, and are of fering hearty cooperation with tho suffragists.

 Tn taking warm interest in the pro- gross of woman suffrage, the presi- dents example will stimulate not only the members of his own party but all Americans.

May I express to you and your or- wrote President Wilson, "as well as to the women of North Dakota my congratulations upon the by the legislature of that state of bill granting to the women of the state the right to vote for presidential electors and for municipal officers2 As you know I have a very real interest in the extension of the suffrage to women and feel that every step in this direc- ton should be appIauded."
 Want Anthony Amendment Passed.
 The women will certainly applaud with the utmost heartiness and sin cerity the step that President Wilson might take in urging upon congress the immediate passage of the Susan E. An -hony amendment. This would tell more for the nation wide progress of women suffrage than anything that can
