WANT SPECIAL SESSION
 OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY '

Following closely on the action of the senate at Washington, the woman suffragists of this state have begun d move for a special session of the gen. eral assembly to vote on the ratiica ton of the national suffrage amend ment. They believe it will be possi- ble to succeed in their campaign for d special session, as they feel they are sure of strong support because of dissatisfaction expressed in many parts of the state over the early ad- iournment of the 1919 session. which left much unfinished business.
 Governor Holcomb said that he did not see any need of calling a special session for such a purpose as has aroused the suffragists to action.
 The end is not yet. said the anti suffragists, holding out hopefully against the continued activities of the women who want the vote.
 Connecticut suffragists find them selves somewhat dazed by the pass age of the Susan E. Anthony amend ment by the sixty sixth congress. ac- cording to Miss Katharine Ludington, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association who tates that they can hardly believe it to be true.
