The principle hasn't changed any—the injustice is just as cruelly big as it was in 1776, the line from which the D. A. R. has sprung, when forth to wrest from a mother country a right denied. Men seem to be eager to forget that just a bit more than a century ago _they warred for what women are now de- manding and getting with different weapons. Even in 1847 in Rhode Ts. land, blood was shed because the “privileged cia had to be shown, the showing is set down as Darc’s Re- bellion—that the voting right could not be vested in only those holding real estate and the eldest sons of such holders—and the men of Rhode Is- en yet, either! Spirit of '76. In taxation—and death—wome counted equal and yet the very that the men wouldn't stand taxation without representation in 1776 is the fact which is largely responsible for our being today the arbiter in the af fairs of the world. We claim we're a just nation and ave | the belligerents of the warring na- | tions' grant freely that in the final peace settlement the voice of the TUnited States will be dominant. Can men really claim themselves just when an injustice is being done the women who are claiming their rights to be heard? Are they deaf to everything except the race of strife? Don’t they sense women's necessity at all? Don’t rrhay understand the inconsisiency of thelr position? And you men of Berlin, where do vou stand? We'll ask those believing in suffrage as a plain right needing no explanation to sign one of the cards | which will be passed, and from the audience in general we ask that you at least weigh well what Mrs. Edward Porritt and Dr Valerie Parker have | to say and think fair before decid vou're among those opposed to what will surely come and will just as sure- Iy work to the great good of all tie people of our very wonderful coun- try. Mrs. Porritt's Address. President Murray introduced Mrs. Edward M. Porritt of Hartford. Mr: Porritt who is the recording secretary of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association and who has charge of the press work, was the next speake Tn opening she remarked that every suffragist in the country had been thrilled over the enormous advance of e indicated by the adoption {of a suffrage plank in the platforms cause when ;| land haven't offered suffrage 1o wom- | act | 1 | | th | winl Mother won’t let me have any- thing but Adams Chiclets.

Mother somehow or other always seems to have a box handy in thehouse. AMERICAN CHICLE COMPANY and democratic parties. As regards the republican plank she felt a personal interest a she had been in Chicago at the time it was adopted and had been one of the women who marched down Mich- igan avenue through the storm of wind and rain. It was a marvellous parade. The enthusiasm and courage of the woman had so impressed the men that many who had intended to vote against the addition of the plank could not find it in their hearts to do so, and the plank was adopted by an tnormous majority Partic the republicans and the of Dboth republican Both Fndorsed. that had —that No democ ed ats both endors woman suffrage the republicans had ure of jus- people of ats had the at it was a me adult the democ the states to suffrag’ declared If and to one-] the country tice this recommended vote to the women, where were summoning all their en- ergies to assist in the carrying out of endorsement. In Connecticut the ature would assemble in about ix months and when it assembles it is the hope of the suffragists that it take the first step towards the passage of a state constitu- tional amendment. To en- franchise Connecticut women b state action must necessarily take sev- eral years. The amendment must pass the lower house of the legisla- ture next session by a majority vote of those present when the vote is taken. Then the amendment is re- ferred to the next legislature, when it must obtain a two-thirds vote in both houses, and receive the signature of the governor. After that it mus be passed on by the voters in town meeting. That means at the town and city elections or at a special election appointed for the purpose. If then the amendment passed its first stage at the next ion and second legislative st in 1919, would be the end of 1919 or ng of 1929 before the women Connecticut would enjoy the right vote. legi Tide Flows Rapidly. whatever why than that, The suffrage rapidly that it, and al- no reason any longer declared There is should be Mrs. Porritt tide was coming so nothing could w and though Connectict a conservative little state i apt to be behind hand in reform movements, it only depended on the women of the and cially on the organized su s. to push the movement to success. There was no longer any fuge for an ant All the parties were Rew for weman suffrag it espe s | that usual | | mented the politteal | The General Federation of Woman's clubs had decided for suffrage some time ago and just recently the Con- necticut Federation had also endorsed woman suffrage and offered its moral support to the movement. Almost every great national organization an suffrage; and the only tion which had gone on record as op- posing woman suffrage—outside of the Anti-Suffrage associations-—was the Union League of New York course the organized liquor dealers ad made their position plain, but was to expected; he a Hartford observed in cussing the question “For it ter of business.” But outside the liguor interests the Union League of New York had given the only endorse- ment that the Antis had received and the Union League consisted of elderly and wealthy gentlemen who like the esteemed editor of the “Hartford Cou- rant,” had not yet turned the century but who imagined that they were living in the victorian era. In closing Mrs. Porritt warned women that unless they put their whole force into the work they might find themselves left behind. It was always possible that congress might pass the amendment to the United States. In that case a state constitu- tional amendment would be super- he brewer us | fluous and all that Connecticut would | e able to do would be to ratify the amendment. Dr. Valeria H. Parker.
