Stanton and Miss Anthony leaders and
headquarters in New York; American
Woman Suffrage association, with
Mary A. LivermOre, Julia Ward Howe
and Lucy Stone leaders and headquar-
tiers in Boston. The line of division
was this; The former wished to
concentrate on the passage of a con-
stitutiOnal amendment; the latter
was in favor of obtaining the suf-
frage through amendments to state
constitutions. In 1890 the two organ
izatiOns were united under the name
of National American Woman Suf-
fage Association, and work was
pushed along both lines of endeavor.
Mrs. Stanton was president until
1892. Miss Anthony served until
1900, resigning at the age of eighty.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait was its
head, 1900-1904 DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, recently deceased and possibly
best loved of all the leaders-a wom-
an of transcendent gifts and elo-
quence-was president until 1915.
Mrs. Gait was then again chosen.
Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy
to Mrs. Gait to be used in the work.
The National association made ar
rangements at the st. Louis conven-
ton of 1919 to dissolve it's organiza-
ton and become the League of WOm-
en- Voters. These arrangements, be-
came effective at the Chicago conven-
tom in February last. SO the League
of Women Voters now holds sway
over something like 27,000O00 po-
tential American women voters.

international Woman Suffrage ALI.

TOWNS CLASH OVER
HAMMOND HIGHWAY
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN clTI,
ZENs OF CONVICTION AND
JACKSONVILLE DISTRICTS.
MAY Be A GOVERNMENT ROAD
Would Provide Good Road For Town
of eoodbee Which It Has Never
Had-say other Sections Of Par
ish Are Just as Deserving.

New Orleans. The question Of
building a road in St. Tammany par
lsh between COVingtOn and Hammond
has aroused a warm controversy be-
tween citizens Of Covington and Mad
lsonVille, as Is evidenced in an arti-
Gle which appeared in the st. Tam
BnGny Farmer under date of August
a. and a reply from Madisonville Of
the same date. The question will be
taken up soon at a meeting of the
ST. Tammany police jury at CoYing-
ton.
The COvington arguments may be
summarized as set forth in the Farm
Rr as follows: The proposition will
provide a good road for the town of
Goodbee, which it has never had, al
though taxes have been voted three
times for this road, collections have
now for the first time reached sum
great enough for the undertaking;
the new rOa dwill cut in half sew
enteen mile stretch on the Tchefunc-
IA river which Is not bridged thus
providing a direct route in place of a
round about one for travellers.
Other arguments set forth are that
the road has already been surveyed
between CoYington and GoOdbee, and
that the state has offered half the
sum for building the road and has al
ready advertised for bids on the
work; that TangipahOa parish has
agreed to build and maintain and has
already gone far with preparations
dor the part of the road which runs
into the neighboring parish; that the
road would open up new valuable
farm and Embarrassing land and the
route of the road is laid on the high
est ground In the section.
Finally Covington supporters Of the
road say, the promise of the Missis-
slpDi Valley Highway Association has
been obtained to bring their 1000
mile drive over this route when the
road is built and the Federal govern
ment will probably make that high
way military road refunding some
of the building expense, and doubling
the width of the road.
Aroused by the plan as set forth
above by Covington supporters Of the
new road movement, jacksonville OPP
Donents to the proposal present the
following arguments:
First, they agree that the Goodbee
section has never had good road,
but say that there are other sections
Of the parish ara as deserving.
They admit that three attempts to
raise taxes failed, but want to know
why other sections Of the parish
should be asked to help one ward to
raise the money.
