largely the object of this society to
maintain among the membership that
interest in the states affairs which
very properly is to be expected of us
SO long as we choose to remain legal

looking forward to the time when our
women will have the right of suffrage,
and that privilege, we hope, will be
exercised this year for the first time

grand old state of Connecticut The
privilege of a full citizenship should
be cherished and appreciated to the
extent of the faithful compliance with
the duty of voting at each election
period"
