Mrs. Haslup on Woman Suffrage.-At
the annual meeting OF the woman CHRISTIAN
Temperance Union of Maryland held at
Washington Grove, Montgomery county, Mrs.
Mary R. Haslup, of Baltimore county, who is
president of the Union, spoke for a few
minutes on the afternoon of the Goth inst,
and took occasion to explain fully the attitude
of the organization on the question of woman
suffrage which, she said, is one of the points
on which the public generally and many,
even, of the w. G. T. U. members are so inn
perfectly informed. She said
II have heard some expressions of opinion
such as this one, made by a lady not thousand
miles from here, either, who said to me, Now,
don't you really think that the w. G. T. o..
could do better work and have more infiu-
ence if it would not insist so much on woman
suffrage? said to her, Ny dear madam, you
arc not correctly informed and proceeded to
enlighten her. The W. C. T. U. does not in
sist on the franchise for all women, and there
are many women in the order who do not be-
lieve in the suffrage. But we have found that
in order to exert the necessary influence the
suffrage is of the greatest necessity: Why can
we not, instead Of begging and pleading and
supplicating members of Legislatures be able
to say to them, we represent constituency
of $4,000 women, whose votes can put you
