 The convention call, sent out from the Hartford headquarters ot the league, says: "On January IS, 1921, a group of women, newly entran- chised voters, met in New Haven, Connecticut, and organized to try a great experiment. Under the name of the Connecticut League of Women Voters they adopted the following preamble to their constitution:
 The Connecticut League of Wom- en Voters shall be a branch of the National League of Women Voters. The object of the Connecticut League of Women Voters shall be to develop an intelligent and active electorate and to unite women in work for con structive, social legislation. The Con- necticut League of Women Voters urges every woman to become an en- rolled voter but, as an organization, it shall be allied with and support no party. So far, we have but broken ground in this great undertaking. The work is still before us but 1t has been begun and the beginning has justified itself. The members of the league are now called to meet in convention to hear reports of work accomplished and to make plans and elect officers for the coming year. Come yourself, bring others. All will be welcome
