A PROTEST AGAINST ROBERTS.
THE BROOKLYN WOMAN SUFFRAGE AS
ISOLATION DRAFTS A PETITION
TO CONGREGc

The Brooklyn Woman Suffrage Association yes
terday drafted a petition TO Congress protesting
against the admission OF Brigham H. Roberts
member OF the House. Mrs. Loines. the presi-
dent. in speaking for the petition said:
In regard to this petition, note that Miss Susan
b. Anthony stated few days ago that Congress
man Roberts was not bad many men who
were leading impure lives under cover. There Is
all the more reason why should not wish to
be represented by man who Is leading i'm
moral life from the standard of the present day
and is an avowed polygamist. 1t is stated by the
Mormons that the seating OF Congressman Roberts
Is but the entering wedge to the introduction OF
other members of their faith into public life. Con-
sequently do not agree with Miss Anthony. The
women OF this society should always uphold a
standard that is pure and right in the lives Of
both men and women.
The petition asks for the passage Of constitu-
tional amendment disqualifying polygamists from
holding Office under the United States Government
Mrs Emma T. Pettngill read a paper on the
work Of the Womans Christian Temperance Union,
in which she quoted from the alleged address OF
speaker at liquor dealers association at Akron,
where the liquor dealers urged to spend
money literally little boys in order to create an
appetite for strong drink. The liquor seller
pointed out that 1t would all come back to them
In the course OF few years. This aroused the In
dignation Of those at the meeting.
