WOMEN CANVASS
CANDIDATES ON
SUFFRAGE STAND
Fairfield County "1nsur.
gents" Are solidly For
Suffrage Amendment.
Especial from Hartford. }


of the Connecticut Womans associa
ton have canvassed the nominees for
the state house and senate and ascer-
tanned their attitude toward the fed
eral amendment on suffrage. Gen
orally it can be said from the report
of the canvassers that the Democrats
stand on the party platform, and are
in favor Of ratifying the amendment.
OF the 35 Republicans canvassed 10
favor the amendment, eight are OPP
posed, three are put down as probably
favoring it, seven as non-committal
and one open-minded, and in one dis
trict no canvass was made.
Nominees from Fairfield, generally
regarded as the insurgent county, of
the Republican party, are solidly for
suffrage. The suffrage representatives
have not completed canvassing the
nominees for thes house, but they say
they find Tolland county about even
ly divided in its sentiment toward the
issue; New Haven county, which is
generally credited with being unfavor-
able toward the issue, is this year
considered to be better disposed to the
posed in general, as usual; New Lon
don, more favorably inclined than in
previous campaigns; Hartford as
looking up" and Windham generally
more favorably inclined.
