Connecticut Women Voters

Considering that school suffrage was granted to women in Connecticut but a few months ago, and that the elections last month afforded them the first opportunity to vote, they have shown much interest. They voted in over one-half of the towns. In Menden they nominated Mrs. Kate Bohme for school visitor and for membership on the high school committee. They attended the party caucuses and secured her indorsement by the Republicans, Populists and Prohibitionists. Mrs. Bohme was elected on the high school committee and only failed by a few votes of election as school visitor. The first woman to vote in Meriden was Mrs. .Alice Ballou Twiss, wife of Bruce C. Twiss, a clerk in the postoffice and a gradúate of the State Normal school. GHastonbury ladies, under the lead of Mrs. Hale, whose husband is a member of the Connecticut legislature, had a very enthusiastic meeting, and a large number voted. Mrs. Ada Crosby was elected school visitor. Miss Susan Cheney, in Manchester, and Mrs. Fannie A. Warner, in Rocky Hill, were elected school visitors. Nine hundred women voted in Hartford
