THE CONGRESSIONAL UNION'S SUMMER CAMPAIGN Suffrage Workers to Cover Principal Resorts From June 15 to Labor Day. The Congressional Union is undertaking a holiday cani))aign cover- ing the principal resort regions of the country anil extending from the middle of June until Labor Day. The puqiose of this camjiaign is to arouse the thousands of people congregated at the summer resorts to active work for the suffrage amendment (Bristow-Mondcll resolution) now before Congress. For the first time in the history of our country this projxised amend- ment is on the calendar of both the Senate and the 1 louse of Representa- tives, having been re|»ortcd out of committee in lioth houses. With the enormous suffrage sentiment existing throughout the United States today, and with the leverage we BBSISM in Congress owing to the fact that more than one-fifth of the Senate and one-seventh of the House now come from suffrage States, there is great BOOS for the speedy passage of the amendment. If suffragists the whole country over will unite in demanding the immediate jmssage of this amendment, there is no reason why its passage should not be secured before the summer is over. WHY WE OPPOSE WOMEN TRAVELING IN RAILWAY TRAINS 1. Rccausc traveling in trains is not a natural right. 2. Because our great-grandmothers never asked to travel in trains. 3. Because woman's place is in the home, not in the train. 4. Because it is unnecessary; there is no point reached by a train that cannot be reached on foot. 5. Because it will double the work of conductors, engineers and brakemen, who are already overburdened. 6. Because men smoke and play cards in trains. Is there any reason to believe women will behave lieltcr?—Alice Dner Miller in the New York Tribune. HELP THE CAUSE.—Mention the Maryland Suffrage Newe When Patronlilng Our Advertisers.
