This poster campaign is certainly a
very clever piece of work" he writes.
Both the educated and unlettered classes
are struck by them, the first by the
writing beneath, the second by The draw

TURN
TO SOUTH FOR HELP
Also Trying to Get Vermont Legis-
lators to Comply with Governor
Clements S Conditions

NEW YORK, April 3.-Checked by de
feat and as yet unable to get the govern
ors of the Republican states of Vermont
and Connecticut to call special sessions of
the legislatures, the suffrage leaders are
now turning their attention to the Demo
cratic South to get the thrty-siXth state
necessary for ratification of the federal
woman suffrage amendment. Without
abandoning hope of Vermont and Con-
necticut, the sutfragists are now counting
upon ratification by Louisiana, which has
regular session of the legislature on
May 10, and upon North Carolina, which
will have special session later in the
summer At national suffrage headquar-
ters it was said that suffrage sentiment
was strong in Louisiana and that on a
state referendum in 1918 the country dis
triets were carried for suffrage by 1000
which was Offset by 10000 adverse ma
iority in New Orleans.
Great political pressure by national
democratic leaders was being exerted IN
Louisiana, it was said, in order that the
party might gain the credit of finally
putting the amendment through. 1t wa:
expected that the desirability from the
Republican viewpoint of having a Repub
lcan state be the thirty y-siXth to ratifl
might have an effect in Vermont, where
| Governor Percival w Clement was sale
| to have signihed his willingness to call
| special session If he could obtain a stipu
! lation that the legislature would do moth
! ing but vote on the amendment.

Dartmouth men a chance to show their
versatility and kept the audience guess
ing as to what was to come next.
The college songs by the Glee club, and
especially by the Campus quartet, were
well sung and full of pep and the work
of the Mandolin club was more than or
dinariy good. Not little was added to
the enjoyment of the evening by G.. d.
Plumb and his saxaphone. The saxa-
phone trio with Mr. Plumb and the
Sample brothers was an unusual feature
of college program and was much en-
joved
The best single number was the violin
solo by f. H. Rubin, freshman. who
showed remarkable ability The slight-oi
hand feature presented by c. E. New.
ton, a senior. was equal to many profes
sional performances, and Mr.. Newton

the pleasure of witnessing the clever tricks
which he performed The Scrap Iron
Four was a new feature, costumed il
white trousers and green sweaters. sup
nosed to depict the gay, informal side oi
Dartmouth undergraduate life, and was
