Convention at Dover Proves
Great Success
Eight Local Representatives
Attend Notable Gathering
at Capital

~fAsS~A
Eight members of the Newark
Auxiliary of the Delaware Equal
Suffrage Association attended the
state convention in Dover on Mon
day and Tuesday. Mrs. Harry
Hayward, Mrs. R. A. Whittingham,
and Misses Eleanor Todd, Lena
Evans, Elizabeth Wilson, Sara
Churchman, Gertrude Blodgett,
and Dean Winifred j. Robinson
were the representative from this
section. According to reports of the
delegates the meeting was especi-
ally interesting. Thirty beauti-
full decorated automobiles met the
train on which the distinguished
speaker, Mrs. Raymond Brown,
who was sent by Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait arrived. After a parade
through Dover, the delegates were
received at the State House by
Governor John G. Townsend, Jr.
who welcomed them in brief but
happily phased speech.
Mrs. Raymond Brown, vice
president of the National Associa-
tion, was then introduced by Mrs.
Albert Robin, president of the
Delaware Association. Mrs. Brown
is here in the place of Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, who was to be pres
ent, but had to be in the West at
this time. She spoke briefly, COM
mending to Gov. Townsend the
necessity for women in politics, Sc
pecially since the war. 1t was
{ difficult for her, she said, to realize
the attitude of suppliant, as she
/, came from State where women
t had the right to vote. The nation
: cannot afford to wait day longer
: than is necessary on ratifying the
Susan B. Anthony amendment.
n Twenty States have already rati-
n fed, she said, and Delaware women
n are only asking for what belongs
!, to them.
y Governor Towsend then replied,
e evidencing his entire sympathy
n with the suffrage cause. 81 am
e already convinced" he said, "and
II | will do everything that l can, in
y a practical way, to help the ISSUE"
Following the reception a large
luncheon was served at the Hotel
Richardson, beginning at 1:30.
:. Among the guests were Governor
- Townsend, Secretary of State
IS Johnson, Robert Houston of
l. Georgetown.
" The feeling at the opening of the
ei convention seemed to be that senti-
i' ment in behalf of the franchise
for women has crystalized to such
an extent in Delaware that real
results are in sight and ought to
be accomplished very soon.
