North Shore a Battleground. Suffra- _ 
gists and Antis are Both 
Holding Meetings. 
The North Shore has suddenly 
become the _ battle-ground of the 
forces of woman’s suffrage and 
those opposed. It appears that both 
the pros and antis have included 
all the North Shore cities and towns 
in their summer propaganda and, 
from now on until November, there 
will be some very lively meetings. 
The suffragists scored a distinct 
hit at Manchester last Friday night 
when Miss Louie Stanwood and 
Former State Senator Roger Sher- 
man Hoar spoke at Manchester town 
hall to about 200 of the towns peo- 
ple and interested summer resi- 
dents. In fact, the majority pres- 
ent was made up of the fashionable 
summer cottagers along the shore. 
Miss Stanwood’s eloquent appeal 
for woman’s rights was received 
with enthusiasm and was warmly 
supported by Mr. Hoar, who dealt 
with the more technical and legal 
elements that enter into the con- 
flict. Mrs. Charles Cabot was also 
on the platform but did not speak. 
The afternoon following, Profes- 
sor Charles Zueblin, widely hnown 
as a speaker on economics and 
government, addressed a meeting 
at Beverly in the interests of the 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
cause and awakened a live enthus- 
iasm. Despite the fact that it was 
Saturday afternoon, when the trend 
of most everybody is eityward, a 
considerable number of men was 
present and Mayor Frederick A. 
Dodge of Beverly presided. 
The East Gloucester meeting at 
the Casino, on Monday morning, 
was the largest of all. <A very re- 
presentative audience turned out 
and considerable interest and en- 
thusiasm were shown. The speakers 
were Miss Louie Stanwood, Mrs. 
Susan Fitzgerald, one of the most 
eloquent speakérs for the cause in 
New’ England, and former Senator 
Hoar. -A meeting will be heid at 
Rockport tonight, and in Gloucester 
and Kpswich within the near future. 
The Beverly branch of the Massa- 
chusetts association opposed to the 
further extension of Suffrage to 
Women held a meeting and lunch 
Thursday afternoon in the assembly 
hall of the Beverly Farms school, 
with an attendance of about 50 lo- 
cal residents and members of the 
summer colony. 
Mrs. W. L. Putnam of Boston and 
Manchester presided and _ intro- 
duced as the speaker Miss Emily 
Bissell of Delaware, president of the 
Delaware Antituberculosis League 
and chairman of the social service 
committee of the Delaware Federa- 
tion of .Women’s clubs. 
‘Miss Bissell urged that those pres- — 
ent use all possible efforts to dis- 
courage women from voting, declar- — 
ing that voting could be of no bene- — 
fit to them.
