''My wife claims I am a Bolshevik
and that I have a fortune of S3,

grave owing to the pa tents years.

three daughters, the sons being Philip,

ander, publisher of the Union.
Mrs. Troup's death comes as aim ost
a personal loss to a small army of
newspaper workers and to a host of
friends outside the profession.
She was not only one of the pion-
GERS of journalistic work in this
country but one of the early advo-
Gates of vomen's rights and woman
suffrage, having been an ardnen-
worker in the cause since her youth.
Since her husband, the late Alexan-
der Troup founded the New Haven
Union she has been so closely inden-

The Trick In

Republican Plurality Is

History.

Augusta, Maine, Sept. 14-Women
voting on a national issue for the
first time showed the intelligence of
men in casting their ballots at the
Maine state election according to
women leaders on both sides today.
Mrs. Guy z. Gannett, chairman of
the Woman's Division of the Repubi-
can State committee said:
1.-The women of Maine, who voted
for the first time Monday, showed
that they had made a study of pub
lie questions and the form of ballot
which was used in Maine for the
first time. They went to the polls
and voted without the least embar-
rassnent on the general ballot
ber from Maine of the Democratic
National committee said:
"I submit that the women of
Maine who went to the polls on cleo
ton day showed as much if not more
intelligence than did the men, and I
believe that less women asked for
the assistance of the election clerks
in marking their ballots than did the
men. They voted in an orderly fash
ion and showed that they had been
studying the problems of citizenship
and will continue to study. There
was no confusion among the women
in marking the names of the various
candidates for whom they wanted to

State convention on Thursday it has
ybeen generally conceded that Mr..

200 Women Take Pos

in the Hours Preced-
ing the Convening Of
the Legislature L re-Gov.
Holconb-Calls Spe-
cial Session on Ratih-
cation for Sept. I'll
Tennessee Delegation
on the Way.
Especial to The Times)


Hartford, Sept. 14-Connec-
ticut will ratify the Woman
Suffrage amendment to the
Constitution, and thus remove
all doubt as to the legality Of
the women's vote in the cleo
ton this fall. At 1 o'clock this
afternoon Governor Marcus H.
Holcomb appeared before the
joint session Of the Legislature
in Hartford and read a mes
sage calling upon the joint ses-
sion Of the Legislature to ratify
the amendment. ca
He said in his message, that
under the original call for the
special session no action upon
ratification ceuld be taken,s
but that a real emergency had
arisen by reason Of the fact
that Tennessee had acted upon
suffrage and that the Legisla-
ture had refused them to re-
consider, leaving the whole
matter more or less m doubt.
Because of the existence of
this emergency he thought it
his duty to ask the Legislature
Of the State of Connecticut to
ratify the amendment and
thus remove all doubt as to its
legality.
There is no doubt but that
the Legislature will carry out
the suggestion of the governor
because they might have done
SO even without the message.
The message of the governor
was in effect a proclamation
convening the Legislature in
special session on September 81
for the purpose of ratifying the
amendment;
The message of the governor was a
great surprise to everybody, and par
ticu1arly to the 200 women who early
this morning storned the Capitol and
buttonhOled every member on action
on the amendment. J. Henry Ror-
aback and Lieutenant Governor Will
son were the storm centers of the sit
uation, nobody at that time having
knowledge, apparently, that the gov
ernor was to ask for ratification.
The news that 100 members Of the
Anti-Sufrage association of Tennes-
see were en- route to Hartford to fight
the ratification of suffrage caused
quite a little excitement among the
women workers, and there will prob
ably be plenty cf fun when the Ten
nessee special arrives here tomorrow.
There were conferences in every
nook and corner of the Capitol this
