ACTIVITIES OF THE SUFFRAGISTS

Suffragists from all over the state gathered in Albany last evening to witness the official counting by campaign districts and counties of the women enrolled for suffrage in New York state which, according to this count, far exceeds the million signatures, which it was expected would be the number when the official count was made.

At the mass meeting last evening, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Women Suffrage association, said:

“We cannot wait any longer. We must have the vote now. I believe that in November New York is going to give that expected victory. I believe it because I believe that all the men of New  York are capable of sane thinking: I believe that they will think sanely. But I want to speak to you upon the bare possibility that they have not yet seen the light. If they have not, then I beg of you be not discouraged. Our time has come just the same and we are going to win in another way, and I invite you one and all, every soldier all the way along this tremendous army, to come to Washington, and I invite you there to fight one more battle, for I venture the prediction and stand by it that within two years, win or lose in New York, we shall have suffrage all over the country.”

Suffragists have been very much in evidence at the Altamont fair, where they have conducted a booth and distributed suffrage literature.
