Suffragists Interested.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 13, 1912:
Appeal to Woodruff for Tickets to Third Party Convention.
    Timothy L. Woodruff will receive today from the Woman Suffrage Party a letter asking that five seats be reserved for representatives of the party at the King's County Convention of the National Progressive Party, to be held in the Johnson Building, Brooklyn, July 23. The suffragists will not support any political body that would not give women votes, they say, but they wish to attend the convention.
    A series of suffrage meetings are to be started immediately in the Bronx by the Woman Suffrage Party, as a result of the murder of little Julia Connors. At the meetings the women will show the need of the ballot for the mothers, that they may protect their children from dangers of this kind. Mrs. Fisk, Chairman of the party for the Bronx, and Mrs. Helena Secor Tonges are arranging the meetings.
