EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTICE 
The Manchester Equal Suffrage 
League will hold its December meet- 
ing at the home of Mrs. FH. -P. 
Tenney, Bridge st., on Wednesday 
evening, Dec. 8th, at 7.45 o clock, = 
Suffragists are invited, 
At the last meeting in Noveanber 
the resignation of the president, Miss 
Stanwood, was received with regret, 
also that of the secretary, Mrs. 
George Silver. Miss Stanwood said 
that her duties would now call her to 
Boston a great deal of the time, but 
that she would still be interested ia 
the Manchester League and in Suf- 
frage work everywhere. She was 
made a. vice-president and Mrs. 
Alfred Hersey was elected secretary. 
(From the League.) 
LETTER TO THE EDIPOR 
Dear Sir: 
I have been asked many questions 
in regard to the Suffrage situation, 
and I think this a good time to send 
you a short statement. I am glad 
there is still so much interest in our 
work, and I hope that nobody will 
misunderstand the lull that has na- 
turally followed the strenuous cam- 
paign. 
As to local conditions,—I have by 
no means severed my connection and 
interest in the Manchester E. ‘S. 
League, I ‘have merely resigned the 
affice of president because of more 
pressing work in Boston, ete. (It was 
always understood that my term 
would go through one campaign 
only.) The league is quietly busy 
and its notices will appear from 
month to month in your columns, 
while I hope to send you occasional 
news from outside. I shall continue 
to be president of the Writers E. S. 
League (of Boston) and that league 
is planning a great deal of work for 
the coming year. 
But the chief interest now is in the 
National situation and the work for 
a Federal amendment. The annual 
convention of the National Woman 
Suff. Ass’n will be held in Washing- 
ton, Dec. 14-19th, and will be one of 
the most interesting suffrage conven- 
tions ever held in this country. The ~ 
resignation of the national president, 
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, is a very 
great loss. But Dr. Shaw is “bowed 
with years, cares and honors,” and 
she feels that she must save her 
strength for public speaking. As a 
suffrage speaker she is still without a 
peer in this country. It is quite prob- 
able that her successor will be Mrs. 
Standley McCormick, who is remem-
