tional Convention.

Mrs. Gait Leads Delegation
From New York-Session
Opens This Morning.

Every convention that the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
has held was the most important one
In the history Of the movement, Of course
when it was being held, but the sufrra-
gettes who have focked from every
State in the Union to take part In the
jubilee convention which begins this
morning In St Louis have good reason
for feeling that there never was or can
be a conference so significant to them
as this.
The fact that It celebrates the fftieth
anniversary of their first convention at
Saratoga In 1869 is a detail. what
makes this meeting thrilling Is the posi-
ton of the Federal suffrage amendment,
poised, the leaders say, on the brlnk OF
victory, only waiting the converting OF
Congress to be put right through botn
houses, where the necessary number OF
votes are said to be pledged But lest
there be any slipup Mrs. Carrie Cnap-
man Gait and DIR. Anna Howard shaw
and their cohorts propose to grid up the
loins Of the organization this week for
finish fight to gain national enfran-
chisement for their sex. This conven-
ton. they declare, marks the end OF
the exhausting State referendum method.
Make Over Old Organization.
For greater efficiency the old N. A.
w. S. A. which Susan 3. Anthony and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton formed will be
made over into a national union or
women citizens. with a lower house and
an upper house like Congress, the house
OF women voters to be the upper and
the women of the unenlightened States
which refuse them the vote to consti-
tute the lower, or house of women citi-
zens And they don't care how soon the
lower house is absorbed by the upper.
in fact that is to be their object.
A huge delegation from New York,
headed by Mrs. Gait, national president {:
Miss Mary Garrett Hay. chairman of
the New York City Women's party !;
members of the national board. Sc, and

Beside the above construction
work there will be carried on cooper
alive work between the State and the
