W15T ADS. CENT A WORD,
ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS
RALLYSTRONGLY
Throng at Capitol on Second Day
of Hearing Stimulates Interest
Among Legislators
(By Our Staff Corres.)
Hartford, March - 20. Interest in
the votes-f or-women controversy at
legislative hearings on this much
mooted subject became warmer than
ever about the Capitol today following
the memorable hearing of the oppc
nents of the principle In the House
chamber yesterday afternoon.
So great was the throng pressing
about the doors for admission that the
members of the House, immediately
on its adjournment to give way to the
committee hearing, literally had to
fight their way out.
Following the general plan of the
pro-suffragists, the antis were mar
shalled by Mrs. Daniel A., MarUham
of Hartford, who made an introduc
tory speech, and then introduced the
various speakers. Chief among the
women orators was Miss Price of
Cleveland. ; Unlike their adversaries,
the antis had gone, beyond the con
fines of the state for arguers in their
behalf, and Miss Price, who is noted
as among the ablest opponents of the
votes-for-women cruslde, madj an
able presentation of the opposition.
At the outset she replied to the as
sertion made that 50,000 votes were
cast for woman's suffrage in the last
state election. She' said It was not
so. Those votes were cast for Theo
dore Roosevelt, Eugene H. Chafin,
and Eugene Debs because they were
cast for the platform of those parties
and not because of the suffrage plank
in them.
Those 50,000 no more voted for wom
an suffrage than ' every man who
voted for Woodrow Wilson voted
against a third term for Theodore
Roosevelt. She said one speaker said
equal suffrage was revolution. Mis9
Price said it was, but not economic
revolution but a political and social
revolution. The suffragists she said
must prove that conditions of wom
en are wrong." She said that Jane Ad
dams had been held . up as a great
politioal leader. . Miss Price said that
Miss Addams was achieving her suc
cess long before . equal suffrage was
linked to her fame. Miss Price denied-
that conditions of women and
children industrially and socially in
suffrage states . were getting better.
She declared ; that in Colorado condi
tions are getting worse.
Miss Price said that Mrs. Bennett
yesterday asked why women should
accept municipal suffrage when it is
only an' examination. "Well, why
shouldn't they? They had school suf
frage and failed." Miss Price said.
Mies Price declared women got pure
f ood j&nd fire j?rqtecttoB.jwi1AouJthfi
ballot. She declared that 76 per cent "
of the impurities in food came from
unclean kitchens. She said women
want to regulate the industries of the
state by the ballot, when the kitchens
are the most unsanitary. "Why don't
they make their kitchens pleasant
and induce the girls to work in them
rather than in the factories?" she
asked.
L For nearly an hour Miss Price spoke
scathingly,, attacking equal suffrage
and making an appeal for women to
continue In their homely walks in
life, to the betterment . of manhood
and womanhood.
Mrs. Oook, another antl, denounced
the methods of the suffragists and
condemned them strongly for having
introduced before an audience that she
said contained many immature girls.
the afaookmg details of white slavery
and "vice in Hartford."
Reports were read to show that 9,
000 had been enrolled in the anti-suff
ragist movement in Connecticut.
Senator Perry spoke, saying he was
opposed to equal suffrage because he
did not think it a thing to be forced
upon the women of the State. Suff
rage is not a right!; jiist a privilege.
He could not be persuaded that the
States which have equal suffrage have
found it a benefit to the women or
the State. He believed that if the
ballot was given to women it would
be exercised only by those who would
be driven to. vote by male members
of their family. This would add to
the number of, undesirable voters.
"What we need is less e voting, not
more; ' we need more intelligent vot
ing."
Senator Quinn of the committee ask
ed Mr. Perry several questions which
provoked laughter from the suffra
gists and then a colloquy. -James
P. Woodruff, of Utchfield,
also spoke for the opposition. He
spoke of the change of the committee
on suffrage, ten years ..ago considered
a Joke, but now the most Important in
the Legislature. He declared that the
men were not asking for a referen
dum, and it should not be placed be
fore them until they want it.
Following the hearing... one .of . the
pro-suffragists fn the center of a group
of enthusiasts launched into an attack
on Senator Perry which attracted
much notice. Here are some-of the
things she said:
"Judge Perry of Southpprt claims
to desire government by the will of
the people. He is openly advocating
direct , primaries and demanding that
the voice of the people be heard.
When asked at the hearing if he be
lieved women human beings, he ad
mitted he did. .He added that he did
not care to see women smoking cigar
ettes nor voting. He upheld the ma
jority of the law and yet likened the
vote to a cigarette, both admirable ad
juncts of manhood!
"He believes in the . peopue but he
thinks the' right kind of voters do not
turn-out now, . thereby-intimating that
he, himself, and . the members of the
committee he was addressing had been
elected -by an electorate of poor qual
ity. - ' , '
'In the next breath,, after deploring
the quality, of 'the people," he said it
was less voters, not more, the state
needed. Is this 'a lack of logic in the
worthy Judge ? -
"Asked by the committee if he be
lieved in the referendum, this advo
cate of the will of the people thought
for some seconds, and then said, he
did not believe in the referendum ex-'
cept in constitutional matters.
"As the vote for women is a con
stitutional matter this answer was
more or less satisfactory to suffragists
and to non-suffragists. As there had
been a suggestion made to the com
mittee by the suffragists that proposes
to amend the constitution, if called
for by a demand of thousands, should
be allowed to go to a referendum, the
committee asked the Judge what he
thought on that point.
"Judge Perry answered that he
thought the only duty of the commit
tee was to decide the question of wo
man suffrage on its merits, intricating
referendum
PUBLIC UTILITIES

considerable property on Singer, ave
nue will, through her counsel, John J.

Manufacturers Are
Opposed to License
For Flahaven's Hotel

ing -Manufacturing Co., and the Hen

D. A. R. MEMBERS
CRITICISE ACTION
OF PLEDGED VOTE
Hartford, March! 20 Hartford mem
bers of the TXaughtere of the Ameri
can -Revolution are inclined to criti
cise the action of the prudential com
mittee Of the : national organization in
sending out a circular letter asking
that delegates to the 23d continental
congress of the D. A. Jffc., to convene
in Washington,' April 14 to 19, to
pledge themselves to vste for Mrs.
John R. Horton, of Buffalo, for president-general.
The sentiment here is
that the committee ought not to show
any partisanship in the matter and
.that candidates' should go . to the con
gress free from any entangling affil
iaitions. Connecticut has 49 chapters and will
send about eighty delegates and as
many alternates to the congress. Mrs,
John L. BueU of Litchfield, the Con
necticut regent, will attend. Miss
Florence . Marcy Crofut, of Ruth
Wyllys Chapter, this city, has been
chosen a page for the congress.
There is to be a general meeting, of
the regents, delegates and alternates
of the Connecticut chapters with Lady
Fenwick Chapter, of Cheshire, in the
First Congregational church in that
town, Tuesday, at which plans for at
tending the congress will be discuss
ed. The delegates and alternates to rep
resent Ruth Wyllys Chapter have al
ready been selected, and will go to,
Washington unpleged.
