SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN TO GO
 ON FOR ANOTHER DAY

Saturday was an interesting day for the workers in the campaign for funds for suffrage and citizenship work. Reports from state headquar- ters were that the campaign was pro- gressing well. Mrs. Frank Palmer, the chairman for Bozrah. telephoned on Saturday that it had gone lover the top" Norwich still has some ways to go as 1t has been impossible to reach as many people as planned last week and the work of soliciting will continue through Tuesday However the chairman is much pleased with the interest aroused and the new friends obtained. The total to date is s11s5.56.
 c. I. Smith contributed the follow ing reasons for his untiring energy in behalf Of the campaign.
 What help I am able to give the | local branch of the Connecticut Wo- | man Suffrage Association is prompted from the same principle by which I l decide which candidate to pull the lever for on election day Tn the past history of our country some radical
 changes have been thrown upon is
 when we were totally unprepared--for l our eventual good or otherwise. Be- 1 lieving that the time is near at hand when equal suffrage will prevail ir our Un1ted states ot America, Wnat lAn1erieanizatien is of more import ance than the immediate attempt to develop a sense of civic responsibility among the 55o,oo0 new votes that will probably be added to our state
 through educational pamphlets and meetings that are now being planned by the state leaders in this move ment.
 This is one purpose for which thi. campaign is being waged in Connec- ticut. The model principle of casting
 our ballot on election day is that the
 election result may accomplish the greatest good for the city or people IT
 the same line of reasoning, it appear. desirable to spread abroad the knowl
 edge of those principals and the feel
 ing of that kind of responsibility
 while ratification of the amendmen is being reached among our individua states.
 , This is what the campaign stand
 for; this is my interest. this is the in
 terest of our mems team of workers Add your unit on Monday or Tues , dav

 to the Parker Hill reconstruction hos pital at Boston which they turned over
 to the government, donating s6e,0o0 to
 the Salvation Army for war work, and
 furnishing complete hospital at the olllfSESItJ Vl CIeB0H anu tHC SIit versity of Virginia, at cost of s60,0 900
 each. The Elks can well be proud of
 their patriotic record and the work of the lodges tells wonderful story. To be an Elk a man must be a 100 per cent. American. but no distinctions .of class or race or religion are counted We worship the flag. it stands for unity, justice, charity and mercy. ab- { stract principles which our flag has made concrete in this world war
