Miss Laura J. Wylle, the new chairman presided tor the first time and proved to the satisfaction of all that ah will make a moat efficient and capable leader.

Those who were In attendance had a chance to Inspect for the first time, the new headquarters, a llg cheery room on the second floor of the Hinkley building, with a wide ODen flra nlaca. The walla hare been papered In light ciiow ann several new postere will te hung up. The room will be nnrn etrrv afternoon for the disposal of literature and for other business matters. Different members of the league have volunteered to be In attendance until a paid secretary may be secured Miss Wylle opened the meeting last evening with a brief talk, congratu lating the membera of the league on being able to Start thf unrk In anrh cheery comfortable quarters. Mrs.

Oordon Norrie. leader of the Tenth Campaign District who had come up rrom New Tork City to be present at the meeting was ths chief speaker Her address follows! "Brieny stated, the condition of suffrage in New Tork Bute la ss follows; have over half a million voters and we shall never lose one We have, based on a calculation from those places which have been pan. vassed, oer a million women srmps thlsers, and we have the purchasing power of these women. We have the greater part of the press and (with the exception of Thomas Mott Osborne) we hate the leader of every movement for the betterment of the community or nation. We have the strongest supporter of preparedr.ess and we have the most distinguished advocates ot peace.

Last but not least, we have a ery promising organization. rnese are nowerrm n.i ih point for us to consider Is how. we Politically, of course, can have black lists, just as the Republicans black list Mr. Wilson and the Demo crats black list Mr, Ttooeevett. And here I should like to remind you of a lesson of the last campaign.

The test of the position of any politician I the action of his workers at the polls and elsewhere. "On wqrd about the antls. As the editor of th Cortlandt paper wrote, their behaviour Is Ihe only argument against Equal Suffrage and luckily there are not enough of them to For a large number of them, feerundlmlnlshed respect aa their age precludes the Idea of change; for another group we feel nothing but pity or invir lost opportunities, out ror a few every healthy minded muat feel contempt. They are the professions! slanderers of people, both men and women, whose shoe strings they are not worthy to untie. It seeme to me that It la our duty.

In loyalty to our leaders and to the leaders, of all form movements, to feel and show our moral condemnation. "Lett but not least must be our Insistence on Democracy. When people say to us. aa they do so often. "Too many people vote already we should remind them that since the bealnnlna of th Christian era.

civilisation and the extension ot the right ot self governmentgovernment hsve gone hand in hand. The truth Is, not withstanding the excellent arguments which can be made on paper, for the rule of the few, that not enough people are unselfish enough to rule others and that no class or sex can thoroughly understand the wants of another." first task Is to locate our friends and cannot too strongly urge ou to continue the work ot9ttinw th nfi. tlons for re submUslon signed by men and the enrollments by women. And in tnie connection. I ahould like to (II you that the antls srs sending out pink poet cards with return card, attached urging every woman who ti.

not want Ihe rote, to sign one and return It. I need scarcely til vn. that the reaulta of auch a canvass are in. no prooi oi tne genuineness of the slsnaturea. nim in.

lustrtous antl Could sign a great many. Our enrollment blanks have a certificationcertification attached I should sdvlse ou to sign this before a notary If ponal. hie In order that no doubt may extL I think we must also hiv a when these enrollments shall be on exhibition In the towns In which they are taken, so that no question of their authenticity can arise. "Having thus found our frUnrfa must strengthen the association between, us. We must be strong, not only ss a political psrty I strong, but as a fraternal organisation is strong.

We must support each other In every possible way. We must not hesitate to ask each other for assistance In sny emergency. I have spoken of our purrhaalnc Dower, how shall wa na IhlsT There Is In New Tork City, an organisation catted The Consumers League which was formed to improve the conditlona under which the goods which women buy ar made and sold. They could not send to thein members a list ot shops which sold ths nroduct of sweat ahopa In which the em funyeee were unrairly treated, without nfrlnglng the law. llut they could and they did send their members a list of the shops whose goods wers made under snnltsry conditions and whose employees were well trested.

Their so called 'White List was a sucrsssrui as a inacg list and wss perfectly legal. I think we ahould have STOCK MARKET. Atwater, Foote Sherrill. Member. Sew Tork Stock Exciunre, American Car It.
