Briatow-Mondell Amendment Endorsed at Annual Meeting.
The annual convention of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion, which has heen in session in Hartford Thursday and Friday of this
week, came to a close late yesterday afternoon. The election of officers
was held in the morning-
The afternoon session yesterday was given up to a discussion of the
relations of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association and the Na-
tional Association. Hitherto the Connecticut organization has been an
at'tilialcd metnlter of the National Association. Uist year, however, there
was a change in the national constitution which made such nienuVrship
very r&fMtMtfvc to an association which is raising ami sending much
motuvTn its own State. Pues were paid 011 the basis of a percentage of
State income, and for 1913*1914 the C. \Y. S. A. jmid in dues $75 to the
National, in addition lo several hundred dollars in rcs|K>nsc to sj>ccial
appeals for help in the cami»aign States. It was felt that this was too
great a tax on the resources of the association, and a resolution was
pa&ted that the t . W. S. A. should rc-ign from its present jtositinn and
apply for associate mtfttbcfiJrfp—a membership which costs $100 and
give* the association the right to 10 delegates to the national convention.
There was a >irong appeal for money to carry on the work of the
unuing \ear, and the pledges of support were headed by the Hartford
Initial h'rauchi>e League and the New Haven Kijual Kranchise League,
which each pledged Suxx). liridgejiort have more ambition than others,1}

the women who thow a keen interest in the big home—the spacious home called the
world, wlierein both men and women have been placed, by no authority of either—
be denied the right to eiprest their opinions until every woman is wide enough awake
lo form an opinion lo express? There is no reason in such an objection, but iutl as
