“LET US DECIDE THIS QUES- 
TION ON ITS MERITS 
Editor North Shore Breeze: 
In a recent issue of your paper 
reference is made to the Republican 
Representative contest in the 21st Es- 
sex District. Among other things 
ou stated that under an agreement 
entered into some years ago among 
the Chairmen of the Ward and Town 
Committees of the District, that this 
_ year the Representative should be 
chosen from Ward 5. It may be well 
at the outset to remark that but for 
the so-called waiver of Ward 5 (and 
the people are curious to know who 
made the waiver), Ward 5 would 
have had it in 1914; but someone or 
some few presuming to speak for the 
generously waived the 
agreement and declared for your 
estimable townsman, Patrick Boyle. 
It is also significant that the loudest 
noise and the most persistent clamor 
for adherence to the agreement is 
made by the devotees of one of the 
candidates who is one of the signers 
of the agreement. The people would 
like to know in these days of popular 
sovereignty who the men are that 
have authority to make and unmake 
Representatives to the General 
Court, to make, alter, repeal and 
waive agreements binding on the 
people of the 2rst. Essex District If 
such an agreement ever had any bind- 
ing force, was it not very wisely 
broken in the selection of the very 
Boyle? If 
such an agreement was binding on the 
eople of this District would we have 
had the benefit of the services of Mr. 
Boyle for a second term? Clearly 
‘not. The people are concerned in the 
election of a man who by experience 
and knowledge can do most for his 
District, who is familarly acquainted 
with its needs, and I yield to none in 
my activity and attention to the re- 
quirments of the District. 
There has been revolt in the Re- 
publican ranks because attempts have 
having new customers.

been made to force machine-made 
candidates on the people, causing a 
division in our party and consequent 
deserved defeat. Shall we repeat the 
experiment after so disastrous a re- 
sult to the party. My opponents are 
candidates for election. It was their 
evident intention to run indepen- 
dently (from statements made before 
the result of the caucus was known). 
But for their avowed declarations to 
run thus I would have contested the 
count for the nomination before an- 
other tribunal, but by their previously 
known attitude I have saved the State 
and myself time and expense in not 
asking for a review of the count. 
Our district is in need of important 
legislation; attention in the matter of 
crying improvements; the lowering 
of: the State and County taxes. If 
chosen I shall dedicate myself to their 
fulfilment and the 21st. Essex Dis- 
trict will get what she has had and 
has.a right to expect, namely experi- 
ence, acquaintance, energetic and un- 
divided attention to the necessities of 
the District.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTES 
North Shore Suffragists, and other 
neighbors, will be interested to know 
that at the great Suffrage Bazaar to 
be held in Boston on Nevember 23 
and 24, half of the proceeds are to go 
to Red Cross for European relief 
work. ‘This means a great sacrifice 
for Suffrage work in Massachusetts, 
but is cheerfully made at this time, 
by unanimous vote of the Ways and 
Means Committee and the Executive 
Board. At the Bazaar Committee 
meeting in Boston, on Wednesday, 
Miss Grace Monks was present as a 
messenger from Miss Loring, (of the 
Mass. Red Cross), who sent her 
warm thanks and appreciation to the 
Suffragists, Miss Loring is herself 
in favor of Equal Suffrage and so is 
Miss Monks. If the Bazaar is as 
successful as last year’s the Mass 
Red Cross will gain several thousand 
dollars thereby. 
There is to be a North Shore 
Table, which will include the Lynn, 
Salem and Marblehead Leagues, and 
we hope that Manchester and Beverly 
will also contribute to this table. 
Gloucester is to have a separate table, 
with a special, characteristic Glou- 
cester feature (still a secret!) Mrs. 
H. E. Russell is to have the flower 
table, Miss Stanwood, with her Wri- 
ter’s League is to have the book-stall, 
and other North Shore women spe- 
cially interested in the Bazaar are 
Mrs. H. P. McKean, Mrs. Louis 
Shaw, Mrs. Fred Dumaine, etc. 
The Manchester League reports that 
Mrs. W. S. Pinkham, of Colorado, 
has been secured to speak in Man- 
chester Town Hall on the conditions 
in Colorado and Massachusetts, on 
October 21. There will probably be a 
Peace speaker on the same occasion. 
Miss Stanwood, pres. of the Man- 
chester League, says, “I am told that 
while I was away in New Hampshire 
there appeared in the Breeze some 
more of Mrs. White’s extraordinary 
reports of Equal Suffrage “failures,” 
etc., in the West,—and I am asked to 
answer them. I reply that Miss Jane 
Addams has already more than ans- 
wered them at the recent meeting in 
Boston, and I add—come and hear 
Mrs. Pinkham in Manchester !— 
Meanwhile, there is in the current 
Harper’s Weekly an interesting and 
accurate account of the recent pri- 
maries elections in California, where 
the women fully vindicated them- 
selves. Please read it. I confess that 
I find the golden autumn days on the 
Shore too precious to spend in ans- 
wering all the inaccurate reports of 
the Antis.”
