Ings for whom New York women can
vote Inform them that their name is
Dennis now.
Yes. the New York State Woman Suf-
frage party rechristened them yesterday
at the opening session of its convention
at the Ritz-Carlton. 1t is the forty
ninth annual convention of this organi.
zaton but the first political convention
OF the women voters Of New York. And
political it is with a vengeance. The
first recommendation Of the executive
committee. which was received BY the
900 delegates with every indication of
approval-it will be acted upon to-mor-
row--was one OF natfooted enmity to all
candidates for office whose records on
suffrage are not satisfactory and whose
promises in regard to the Federal amend
ment do not suit.
This is the recommendation
AT the next primaries and election
We should campaign against certain cam
didates for State and Federal offices
who have consistently opposed woman
suffrage and whose records show them
to have been opposed to the interests of
women and children and to humani-
tartan legislation in general.
And in view Of the likelihood Of the
immediate submission of the Federal
amendment to the State Legislatures for
fauhcation. w. should campaign against
the nomination or election of candidates
for the New York State Legislature and
campaign against candidates for Com
sress Who will not agree to indorse the
Federal amendment, providing the Fed
eral amendment Is not passed before the
mex; Congressional election, which takes
place in 1918"

The first section Of this recommends
lion has particular point for a certain
senator when taken in connection with
paragraph from the report Of Mrs
James Lees Laidlaw. Congressional
chairman. She said, after describing the
difficulty of getting the State Senate last
winter TO pass the referendum amend
ment:
Il want YOU to realize. and realize
nara and thoroughly. just how enormous
NdN tic SUM tOtal OF eTIUrt and expense
added to our campaign to satisfy the
Tanton desire TO express his tyrannical
power and to express his peevishness
and spleen against woman suffrage on
the part Of the leader of the Senate. A
great. dignified. statewide campaign, in
voving the lives and fortunes of hum
dreds OF thousands of women was
treated with callous disregard And
dont forget that this same man is one
whose first Thought, when those in posi-
tons OF responsibility were considering
means OF safety for our country, was the
exploiting of women and children and
'he breaking down of hard won stand
ards of public education and industry.
The name of Elon Il. Brown. you women,
N a name to note and to remember"
Loud Kisses for Brown greeted this
admout!un.
The difficulty of cunning for Senator
Grown. the suffs admitted. Is that in his
district the Thirty-fifth Senatorial. he is
pretty strongly intrenched. However. by
