 The following report was given by District Press Chairman Mrs. w. J. Bartlett of the meeting of the Connec- ticut branch, National Women's party,
 held in Taft hotel Hartford:
 Miss Maud Younger, who spoke at
 the meeting, is probably better in
 formed on the personnel of congress
 than any other perSon-nnan or woman
 in the United States. Miss Younger
 is the chairman of the lobby commit tee of the National WomanS party
 It is she who has untirIngly pushed the federal suffrage amendment, first in the house of representatives anG
 then in the senate. until it has reached
 it's present status, on the brink ot
 final success. In her work as chair : man of the lobby committee Miss . Younger has compiled the biogra-
 phies of every man in congress-DotE
 in the senate and the house. She is
 not content with the sketches Whict . are so kindly furnished by the senators
 and representative themselves for in clusion in the Congressional DictiOn- ary. She accepts these sketches, an( also any sketches that the men choose to send to her direct, as a basis for the biographies. But she adds to then everything in the way of information that she can accumulate from inVesti- gations made in the home town o each The suffragistS have been ac- cusad of using this informal tion fol
 blackmailing purposes. This is an on tirely groundless charge. and IS found ed on the fact that there is included in these biographies such particular!
 as personal habits in regard to drink ing, etc. These particulars Ms Younger explains are necessary for tn information of the women who cal
 upon the senators or congressman con | cerned. as without such llnOwledg' they might be unprepared for the con
 dition in which they might find tn
 man whom they wished to see.
 Most of the information in the bicG , raphies consists of the record of tn man described His full record ol ; suffrage comes first. but there is als'
 given in full his attitude on humar Legislation and on bills affecting chil
 labor and other labor questions. Ever,
 vote of each congressman on sucl
 questions is recorded, and it is per
 fectly well known to the womel
 whether the congressman is of q reac
 tionary group or whether he favor
 humane and progressive legislation fo
 the health and protection of womer
 children and workers generally.
