DEL -Os
During the month of October, Geor-
gia viii be visited by three prominent
suffragists who will stop at all of the
important towns beginning at Sayan-
nah on October 10, and visiting AT
lanta, on the 30th. They are: Miss
Maude Younger, of California; Mrs
Howard Gould, of New York; and
Miss Katherine Mullen of Connecticut
The principal spaker will be Miss
Maude Younger, a California voter,
who will make a special appeal to the
South in her address Real Democracy
through the Democratic party"
Miss Younger is a brilliant speaker
and was a close friend Of Inez Mil,
holland, the young suffragist who
died recently, and whose last words !;
How Long Must American Women
War for Liberty?" have becme the
the slogan of the woman's party.
Miss Younger became interested in
suffrage because of her welfare
work in the slums of New York and
OF San Francisco.
Far from being against the admin
she believes that the stand
on woman suffrage taken by the party
now in power, will have much to do
with the next national election, where
women in nineteen states will vote
for president.
Miss Younger will show that the
suffragists are looking to the president
and his party to make one of the oreat-
est step towards full democracy by
the women of the no
ton through the federal amendment.
Anothe member of the party will be
Mrs, Howard Gould of the famous
New York family, who will motor
the state and also speak her
self. Mrs. Gould has become enfran-
chised through taking up her resi-
dence in CaliSbrniss
Coming from New York, she will
have much to say in explanation Of
the fact that Dudley Field Malone
gave up his position under the demo-
cratic party to devote his time to the
cause Of universal suffrage.
The third member of the party, Miss
is now in Georgia preparing
for the speakers tour. She repre-
sents the wage-earning women. She
was formerly a school teacher and has
recently conducted big campaign
cor Saturday, closing / nthe retail
stores of Connecticut, She was a
worker for teachers pensions in the
New Haven Teachers League. and

who was to have been member or
the touring party but Is now serving
q sentence in Occaquon prison, having
been arrested for carrying a banner
inscribed: Mr. President, You Say
Liberty is the Fundamental Demand of
the Human Spirit"
These three women, representing as
they do the women cf society, those
rf the welfare workers and those Of
the wage-earning class, form an in
.eresting combination. They are TAX
