EQUALITY LEAGUERS
QUARREL LOUDLY
by Union Associated Press.)

New York., April 25.-Bitterness and
strife have marked the campaign for
today's election Of the American
Equality League Of Self-Supporting
Women. 1t is alleged in some quar-
tiers that the league has fallen into
the hands Of society women, who use
it to forward their own ambitions, and
that it no lonnger fulhlls its original
mission. A certain element alleges
that the league represents the self
supporting woman only in name. The
new ticket, headed by Mrs. Lee de
Forest, who is named to succeed her
mother, Mrs Harriet Stanton Blatch,
as president, includes the names of
numebr of self-supporting women, but
they are women, the malcontents say,
who are so submerged in their own
work that they have little time to give
to anything else, and will be obliged
to leave the management of the lea
gue's affairs to others.
This has always been the case in
the past" said one malcontent. "The
league does not represent self-sup-
porting women in any one sense"
When 1t was suggested to Mrs.
Blatch that many Of those named for
the executive board could hardly be
termed self-supporting women she
replied:
1T is necessary that some of the
working force should have the leisure
to devote to the business of the soci
ETY.. It is our aim to have the offi
GERS self-supporting women. but un
less there is sufficient number o
women on the executive board whit
can give time to the work, little prog
iress can be made
The malcontents do not threaten
split, but say that all the self-suppor'
ing women in the league are bound
drop out in time, and that a larg
number has actually done so. TIL
total membership is given as tie
thousand
Mrs. Brannon and Mrs. Cabot, wh
have been nominated as members
the executive board, have been actiV
members of the Equal franchise s.
. ciety. Mrs. Brannon recently gave u

committee because she had not TIN
