'Accrington Branch of the National Union of Women's Sufferage Societies held a Public Meeting on the 4th inst., in the Council Chamber of the Town Hall Accrington. Mrs. Conway was the speaker, and Mrs. Belsey, the oldest local supporter, took the chair. Mrs. Conway was supported by the Rev. Moffat Logan (
), Rev. Humphreys, and Mr. Whitehead, representing the local Labout Party.'
'The address was on the 'The Political Situation of Women's Sufferage'. Mrs. Conway outlined the work done by the women during the war, emphasising the industrial side. She thought that the problem that would arise after the war could only be satisfactorily dealt with by giving women the vote. The meeting was well reported by the press. The collection covered all expenses, and forty-two copies of The Common Cause were sold.'
