ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES 
BY MRS. HENRY PRESTON WHITE. 
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, head of 
the National American Red Cross So- 
ciety, accompanied by Miss Louisa 
Loring, who has been designated as 
Massachusetts agent in the relief 
work that is being done in this state, 
visited the headquarters of the Pub- 
lic Interest League of the Mass. Anti- 
Suffrage association at 685 Boylston 
st., Boston, on Tuesday morning 
of this week. To the forty and more 
volunteer workers present they out- 
lined the great work undertaken by 
the American Red Cross people and 
expressed appreciation of the part 
Massachusetts is taking in raising 
funds and making garments. Miss 
Boardman voiced the hope. that aid 
might also be forthcoming ‘in the 
furnishing of clothing for the women 
and children. “This is quite as much 
relief work,” she said as that done di- 
rectly for the soldiers, and it is im- 
partant and the need is exceedingly 
great throughout all the countries now 
in war. It is necessary that this cloth- 
ing be new and that it be packed in 
separate boxes, distinct from hospital 
supplies, as it will be handled in a 
different way.” 
Miss Boardman brought with her 
various patterns for the garments 
most required and explained how to 
use them to the greatest advantage; 
she also inspected the supplies and 
looked over the work already com- 
pleted and showed her satisfaction 
with all that had been accomplished. 
Offers of aid are pouring into head- 
quarters and the office force is kept 
busy sending out patterns and direc- 
tions to the many enquirers. Al- 
ready seventy-six towns have written 
for material and directions for organ- 
ization, and the garments as soon as 
completed will be forwarded to the 
League for transmission to Red Cross 
headquarters.

indictment which can be_ brought 
against it. It has not made good, 
even in the sparsely settled states of 
the West, where it has been adopted. 
A Chicago Anti-Suffragist recently 
sent to the Massachusetts head- 
Guarters a letter, in which she voiced 
this idea. 
“In Chicago,” she wrote, “where 
all the encouragement, automobiles, 
money and political backing possible, 
was brought to bear, only one woman 
in four could be persuaded to cast a 
ballot, and the women candidates who 
expected the benefit of the feminine 
vote lost in every instance, while men 
like ‘“Bathhouse John” used ‘‘votes 
for woman” and “woman bosses” to 
assure their return to power more 
easily than ever. 
EQUAL SUFFRAGE LEAGUE 
The Manchester Equal Suffrage 
League held its monthly meeting on 
Wednesday evening, Sept. 9, at Mrs. 
Leach’s tea room, with the president, 
Miss Stanwood, presiding. 
The secretary, Miss Leach reported 
a steady increase in membership and 
a very good sale of suffrage articles, 
at the tea room. A vote of thanks was 
passed to Mrs. and Miss Leach for 
all they have done for the league this 
summer. 
The discussion was chiefly on the

subject of war and peace, especially 
peace, which interests suffragists 
mote than does war. It was the 
opition of the meeting that women 
must work harder than ever for the 
franchise, in order that they may the 
sooner be able to work for peace. The 
president, however, reminded the 
members of the Red Cross appeal for 
money, (which has also appeared in 
the Woman’s Journal) and said it was 
for individuals to decide what they 
wish to do and to give. The suffrage 
association must go on steadily with 
their peaceful and patriotic work 
even if half the world reverts to bar- 
barism; and must not be frightened 
from their plain duty by any unjust 
criticisms. 
Mrs. Martha Chute told some in- 
teresting anecdotes, and spoke 
strongly for the peace movement. 
It was decided that the October 
meeting shall be the annual meeting, 
for the election of officers, etc., also 
that a public meeting shall be held in 
the Town hall during October.
