The Antis have sent for Senator 
Bailey of Texas to speak for them at 
Springfield. Mr. Bailey is known 1s 
“Standard Oil Bailey,” and many will 
remember the exposure which show- 
ed him to be in the employment of 
the Standard Oil Co. (as their repre- 
sentative at Washington ) while pre- 
tending to represent “‘the people” in 
Congress. He is always ready to 
‘speak against women. Can it be 
possible that the men of Massachu-

this tpye, as against such men as

SUFFRAGE LETTER 
(To the Editor of the Breeze in 
reply to Mrs. Putnam’s communica- 
tion.) 
I am verty sorry to be drawn into a 
controversy, but apparently Mrs. 
Putnam will not let me off, and con- 
troversy is said to be healthy! 
I have many ‘documents in evi- 
dence” to show that the vicious inter- 
ests have both openly and_ secretly 
fought Woman Suffrage in every cam- 
_paign state. Especially | have some ex- 
hibits which show the leading jour- 
nals of the Liquor industries in Wis- 
consin and Montana appealing to the 
voters to stop votes for women— 
which they did stop in Wisconsin, 
(where the breweries are so power- 
ful). Any of this evidence I shall be 
glad to show to any persons who are 
sincerely interested in learning the 
truth. I have more documents to 
show the good work accomplished by 
the women voters in our Western 
states (and in other countries, even 
in the few days that they have had 
the franchise.) I do not think the 
Breeze could let me have sufficient 
space to give the whole array of 
facts, and | do not believe in giving 
a few isolated figures; that is the 
method of Anti-Suffragists and it is 
often very misleading. We must 
have the whole story. The figures 
and half-truths of the Antis often re- 
mind us that a famous Englishman 
said—‘There are three kinds of lies, 
—plain lies, damned lies and _statis- 
tics.” The Antis love “statistics.” 
I do not ask anyone to accept my 
statements in these matters. As to 
vice and liquor conditions in Chicago 
and Illinois, | have the highest auth- 
ority of all, Miss Jane Addams. And 
I can also refer to Prof. Charles C. 
Hyde, Professor of International 
Law at the North Western Univer- 
sity (Chicago), who told me that the 
woman’s vote was the chief hope of 
alleviating the drink evil which is the 
great curse of Illinois. I am not my- 
self an authority on the temperance 
question, which needs special study. 
But common sense tells us that wo- 
men will not vote to increase an evil 
from which they have suffered so 
deeply. And I believe that this great 
problem, like all our problems, wi!l 
be gradually worked out by men and 
women together. (1 can further re- 
fer to Dr. Dorothea Moore of Cali- 
fornia, now living in Cambridge, as 
to conditions in her state “before and 
after.’ As to Colorado, why do these 
good ladies not ask Mrs. Wm. Stur- 
gis, a voter from Colorado, instead of 
repeating their very indirect  evi- 
dence? 
look up George Creel’s article in the 
Century Magaz ime for March, 1914.) 
If it is true that the liquor interests 
in this state are not opposing the Su’- 
frage amendments, that means that 
they have no power in Massachusett 
It also means that we shall win! 
I appeal to the common sense and 
fair play of your readers, and ask 
whether it would be possible for the 
equal suffrage movement to have 
reached its present position of 
strength and importance, spreading 
slowly but surely from state to state, 
if it were such a complete failure as 
the opponents would have us believe? 
And to beg that everyone will insist 
on having the whole truth before be- 
ing frightened by this or that detail. 
—Loutm R. Stanwoon. 
Of course marriage is a failure if 
the liabilities exceed the assets.

The first whist party of the season 
was held at the Women’s club last 
evening. The prize winners will be 
announced next week. Considerable 
interest is being shown in the whist 
tournament which will be held dur- 
ing the weeks of July and August, 
with prizes awarded to the players 
holding the two highest scores. The 
club has every indication of a busy 
season in common with the rest of

renting well, mostly to season guests, 
and a number of plans are under con- 
sideration for the entertainment of 
the members. . There will be a few 
evenings when the club will be open 
to the public for programs of differ- 
ent natures, when the proceeds will 
be used for the club. Another whist 
party will be held next Thursday 
evening, June 17.
