Connecticut Baby Show Proposal By Suffrage Group
The Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association considers a baby show limited to babies whose mothers are members of the association or affiliated leagues. Officers’ families could field strong contenders for prizes in the pursuit of perfect babies promoted by eugenists. A large Connecticut contingent is bound for the National American Woman Suffrage Association convention in Washington from November 30 to December 4.

The National Suffrage Convention selects December 2 as men’s day in Washington to press hearings for the federal amendment. Connecticut figures promise strong representation from the Connecticut Men’s League for Woman Suffrage.
