ENFRANCHIsEMENT NIGH
Miss Philadelphia Confidently
Looks to Congress for a Fed

By M'LISS


Are you Republican or Democratic or

know where TO put your "X" mark? Have
you found your polling place? Formed
your political opinions?
Now's the time, for, flushed with the vic
tory Of the New York suffragists, Phila-
delphia leaders predict that the time is
nigh for your enfranchisement, as it is
righ for the enfranchisement Of every
woman in the country.
With the landslide suffrage vote in New
York the climax Of the womens fight in
this country for the ballot has been passed
Nothing remains to be told cf that story.

It's been thriller this tale Of the Amer
lean woman's indomtable struggle for po.
litical enfranchisement in the face of almost
insuperable obstacles. It started with the
ellorIs OF hardy pioneer women who faced
ridicule and social ostracism in order to
gather recruits. Slowly and painfully the
work OF Susan b. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and others grew, taking almost a
hundred years to reach the magnificent cul-
mination which the New York vote repre-.
sents.
PENNSYLVANIA LOOKS TO CONGRESS
What effect will the New York victory
have on the women of Pennsylvania?
That was the question l asked some Of
the Philadelphia leaders.
