Misrepresentation have been brought
to the attention of the committee on
evangelism. which need to be remov-
ed. One of these is that some per-
sons have not attended the meetings
because they have received no invi-
tation from the home entertaining the
meeting. All Christian people should
attend, regardless of whether they
receive an invitation or not. The fact
that a home has been opened and an

f" Ants" Not Surprised
At Suffragist Action

Headquarters Press Committee,
Connecticut Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage.
The members of the Connecticut
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage express no surprise on learn
ing of the latest visit of the suffrag-
lists to President Wilson in Washing
ton, obtaining hearing under pre-
tence of presenting resolutions and
then asking once more for his ap-
prevail of the Anthony amendment,
which is to come before Congress for
a vote during the present month. The
announcement of a new militant poll
cy which calls for the posting Of ISL
lent sentinels" about the White
House grounds was not unexpected,
either, the anti-suffra gists considering
that it is but part and parcel of the
campaign which began with the in
terruption of the Presidents address
by the Haunting of a banner in the
House recently.
| In spite of disavowals by the heads
of suffrage organizations of the ac-
tons of the nilitants, the Connecticut
members of the Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage are certain that
the campaign Of retaliation will be
continued until the time for the vote,
the suffragists realizing, it is claim
ed, that unless they can pass their
amendment at this time the outlook
for the future is dark. The abandon
ment Of the campaign in the separate
states, following the Is defeats in the
last three years, is taken to show the
increasing strength of the anti-suf-
fragists in all parts of the country.
Here in Connecticut the membership
in the state association increased in
an extremely satisfactory manner dur
ing the last year. and the plans for
the presentation to the legislature Of
the strength of the sentiment against
woman suffrage among the women
themselves are now being completed
by the board of managers of the state
body.
OnNSunday evening, Jan. IA at Gen.
ter Church House in New Haven, Miss
Marjoria Dorman presented the argu-
ments against woman suffrage in a
debate with Mrs. Thomas Hepburn,
the president of the State Suffrage
association. It was the most largely
attended meeting ever held at the
Forum and the directors of the anti
suffrage organization express much
satisfaction at the manner in which
the arguments against "votes for wo-
men" were presented by Miss Dorman.
One of the strong poilIrs of Miss Dor
mans argument was her answer to
her opponents declaration that "Suf-
frage is coming" Miss Dorman read
off the total in each of the Is states
in which woman suffrage has been
defeated in the last three years, and
called attention to the fact that not
once in those three years has suffrage
scored a victory at the polls when
the issue has been before the elector-
ate.
The Forum is a feature of New Ha-
ven's civic life, and has entertained

many noted speakers on questlons u
the day. With the approaching vote
in Congress on the woman suHrase
question, the interest in the reasons
both for and against woman Suffrage
is naturally greater than usual. MISS
Dorman is a speaker Of national repu-
tation, and through her experience In
campaigns in states where the SUI
frage question has come before the
voters to be defeated, is able TO re-
flute certain claims made by the sur
fra gists concerning the demand" for
