EQUAL SUFRAGE NEWS 
The greatest victory for Suffrag- 
ists in Massachusetts, thus far, and 
an important event for all Massachu- 
setts women, was the Convention of 
Federated Women’s Clubs (Mass) 
last week, where a resolution endor- 
sing Woman Suffrage in this state 
was carried by a vote of 203 to 99,— 
or more than two to one. This spen- 
did majority among representative 
women is a good omen for the ulti- 
mate triumph of the Suffrage cause, 
and makes it ridiculous for the op- 
ponents ever to say again that “So 
per cent. of the women of Mass. are 
opposed to Suffrage.” It was a pity 
that the Antis did not take their de- 
feat gracefully, like good sports, but 
perhaps that was too much to ask ol 
them, for they had made frantic er- 
forts to stop the measure, which all 
proved futile. On the other hand, 
Mrs. Gilson, (Vice President of the 
Federation and State Organizer for 
the Suffrage Ass’n) has graciously 
borne testimony to the fact that, in 
the Convention, the Antis behaved in 
a perfectly dignified manner, and 
Mrs. Maud Wood Park reported that 
there were no personalities, in spite 
of the strong feeling naturally roused 
by so important a question. This 
testimony is as encouraging as the 
vote itself! . We need no longer fear 
that women cannot face and discuss 
the most serious subjects with dig- 
nity, nor that the Federation of Clubs 
will go to pieces because it has en- 
dorsed patriotism in the form of 
Suffrage. 
Almost at the same moment, the 
National Ass’n of Nurses, in conven- 
tion at San Francisco, also endorse:l 
Woman Suffrage. And every few 
days now we hear of another local 
Grange in Mass. endorsing Equal 
Suffrage. So the good work and 
good news go on. 
Essex County Suffragists held an 
important conference at Salem Wil- 
lows on Saturday last, including lun- 
chéon at the Juniper Point Inn. Mrs. 
Mahony of Lawrence, the County 
chairman, presided, and interesting 
and encouraging reports from the 
long list of Essex Co. leagues were 
heard, the best of all being from 
Lynn. Mrs. Gilson (who has taken 
Mrs. Pinkham’s place for the sum- 
mer) gave an inspiring account of the 
victory at Marion. A very unex- 
pected but pleasant episode oc- 
curred: a gathering of men of the 
Prudential Life Insurance Co. were 
also lunching at the Inn, and they 
drew up and sent in to the Suffrage

Everything, in» short, is now so 
cheerful and hopeful for Suffragists, 
that we can all endorse the message

when the Antis repeat and increase

(as they undoubtedly will, for they 
are in bitter mood) to be patient and
