representing the Women’s Emer- 
gency Corps of England and _ the 
Peace Movement,—this we call a list 
of representative people, and every 
one of these has recently spoken in 
Boston for Equal Suffrage. : 
At the luncheon in Boston last Sat- 
urday in honor of Dr. Anna Howar 
Shaw, Miss Shaw made a brilliant 
speech amid great enthusiasm, and — 
she took this occasion to answer the 
statement recently seen in a Boston 
paper, (quoted from the New York 
Times) supposed to come from Mrs. 
Cranmer of Colorado, to the effect 
that Woman Suffrage is a_ failure 
there, as shown in the latest election. 
In reply to a telegram from Dr. 
Shaw, Mrs. Cranmer telegraphed 
back that the pretended “interview” 
with her was “an absolute falsehood,” 
she never said anything of the sori, 
and that at the election referred to 
a record-breaking storm kept many — 
voters, men and women, away from 
the polls, but the women did better 
than the men! This illustrates the 
kind of thing we are up against all 
the time, and even our local league 
cannot hope to escape from such mis- 
representation and such wild tales. 
But again I would ask my friends 
and readers to be patient, though 
prepared for slanders and _ false 
alarms. 
There will be no political activity 
on the part of Mass. Suffragists on 
Memorial Day. Mrs. Leonard, of 
the Mass. Board, has sent a letter io 
that effect to Commander Knowles, © 
Mass.Department G. A. R. and she 
has so instructed all local leagues. 
Memorial Day means very much to 
Suffragists, when they remember the 
men who died that “Government by 
the People and for the People might 
not perish.” 
The next important date for Mass. 
Suffragists will be June 7, which will 
be called “Sacrifice Day.” On that 
day every Suffragist is asked to send 
to Headquarters some article which 
she values, to add to the collection 
which will be sold at auction on June 
8th, 9th and toth. 
(Somebody asks “who is L. R.S.?” 
so I sign my name in full.)

Pres. of the Manchester E. S. League 
and of the Writers’ E. S. League.
