EIGHT COUNTY CONFERENCES To Be Held by Connecticut Woman’s Suffrage Association. It was announced a short time ago that the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association would hold a spring con- ference. At the C. W. S. A. headquar- ters in Hartford, the executive board met, Mrs. W, J. Bartlett present. After listening to the interesting reports from all over the state, it seemed wise to greatly enlarge and expand, and instead of holding one such conven- tion it is now the intention to hold eight conferences, one in each of the counties of the state. The chairman of each county will preside over the conference and be responsible for the arrangements. She will select her own committees and issue the calls to the workers in her county to at- tend. But such conference will be at- tended by the workers and officers from the other countles and by all the members of the state board. Each conference is planned to be as impor- tant _and as stimulating as the sin- Ila eonference originally planned was intended to be. It is expected that the restilt will be an enormous quick- ening of interest in the suffrag® movement all over the state. The firsf of these conferences will be held in New Haven on June 10th. Mrs, Carlos F. L. Stoddard, chairman of New Haven county, has already is- sued_the call for the conference and the Lawn club has- been secured as the place of meeting. Much work has been done recently in the county by Miss Katherine Muillen, the organizer for the county, and since the last suf- convention many new leagues have come into existence, The second conference will be that of Hartford county which will be held the follow- lng week under ' the presidency of iss Mary ley. This conference Wfll be held in the elty of Hartford, but. delegates are expected from every one of the towns and yillages in the county. In Collinsville and Simsbury [ thiuel e a s soe qeul of uffrage ent and activity and neither of these towns was represent- ed at the last suffrage convention. ‘Mrs. W. J.
