WOMAN SUFFRAGE Considered Today by State Federation of Clubs— Time Not Ripe. FOR ITS ADOPTION Says One Opposing Force— Officers for New Year Elected. Decatur delegates to the state federation of clubs at Ft. Wayne, who returned home to spend the night, returning to the convention today again, report a very good time. The address of Dr. Stanley I, Krebs of Philadelphia. the noted psychologist, who spoke on “The Law of Suggestion in the Training of Children and Prenatal Influence" was considered by them the feature of the day. Decatur was honored when the chairmanship of the Eight district was tendered Mr*. C. A. Dugan of this city, this being the first time the tender has been made to the north part of the district. On account of her many pressing du'ties in the local organizations and her home, Mrs. Dugan declined, much to the regret of the Decatur cluba. There is a possibility that Decatur wit) get the next convention ol the clubs of the Eighth district, which will tie held in the spring

Whether the Indiana Federation of clubs will take a stand for woman suffrage will be decided al today's convention at Fort Wayne. It will not take the stand without opposition. Mrs. Lewis J. Col of Terre Haute, first vice president of the state organisation, believes the time is not ripe for the federation to assume such a position She said. "While I am In favor of equal suffrage I do not believe the time is ripe for the matter to be indorsed by the State Fed ration of Clubs, and if It is taken up 1 will oppose It. Many of the women who live in the country and smaller towns do not know the meaning of suffrage, and until they are educated up to the point, what Is the use of giving them equal right? From personal observation I know that nine tenths of the women do not know what equal suffrage means." At 1 o'clock thia afternoon there was a suffrage luncheon at the Anthony hotel, at which many proml nent women spoke The luncheon waa given by the suffrage club and is In no way connected with the state federation The chief Interest of the day promises to be centered on this movement Among the prominent speakers at the luncheon were: Mrs. flrace Julian Clarke and Misa Harriet Noble, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Clark Mr bank.
