ANNIVERSARY of the NATIONAL WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION

This Association will hold its Regular Annual Meeting in Irving Hall, New York, beginning on Wednesday, the 11th day of May next, and continuing through Thursday and Friday.

The various Woman Suffrage Associations throughout this country, and the Old World, are invited to send delegates to this convention prepared to report the progress of our movement in their respective localities. And, in order that this annual meeting may be the expression of the whole people, we further ask all friends of Woman Suffrage to consider themselves personally invited to attend and take part in its discussions.

With the political rights of women secured in the Territories of Utah and Wyoming---with the agitation of the question in the various State Legislatures, with the proposition to strike the word "male" from the state constitution of Vermont---with New York, New England and the great West well organized, we are confident that our leading political parties will soon see that their own interest and the highest interests of the country require them to recognize our claim.

The Executive Committee recommend the friends of Woman's Suffrage, everywhere, to concentrate their efforts upon the work of securing a Sixteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution that shall prohibit any state from disfranchising any of its citizens on account of sex. therefore, we ask the delegates and friends to come to this May Anniversary with practical suggestions as to how this work shall be done.

Many of the ablest advocates of the cause---both men and women---will address the meetings.

Communications and contributions for this meeting should be address to the Corresponding Secretary.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Pres. Charlotte B. Wilbour, Cor. Sec'y, 151 East 51st St., N.Y. Ernestine L. Rose, Chw'n Ex. Com.

To Delegates. Please come prepared to report the condition of the Association you represent. First. The special work of your Association. Second. the condition of the cause of Woman Suffrage in your Town, County and State. Third. Send your credentials to the Corresponding Secretary as early as possible. Please report to the Secretary, Charlotte B. Wilbour, 151 East 51st Street, on your arrival in town..
