Of late a strong feeling is develop ing in the state that a special session of the legislature should be held in the near future to ratify the federal suffrage amendment, and to supple ment the work of the regular session at certai npoints where it was incom- plete, nota bly, in regard to the apprO rAriation of sufficient money to pay the school teachers of necticut the extra salary which was provided for by bill passed toward the close of the legislative session.
 The final action of the matter rests with the governor but in order to give him a clear expression of the opinion of the mbers of the legislature, the Women's Suffrage association at Hartford has drawn up petition and are sent to all representatives ask ing them to sign in an effort that aN- other session be called. Representa- tive Claude w. Stevens is in receipt of the letter and states that he will sign if there are enough of the local women who wish to be represented in this matter Mr. Stevens states that he at the present time is open minded and is willing to be converted If the feeling is strong enough among the local women, to ratIfy the amend ment.
 If the majority of the legislators approve of the idea. the names will < be taken in the form Of a petition to tha governor by a deputation Of mem bers from Hartford and vicinity.
