Los Angeles.-Just when everything
was ready and "doughnut campaign"
was about to be launched in favor of
votes for women, city officials step
ped in and excluded feminine politi-
cal picnics from the city parks.
The suffragettes are angry, and eX-
pressed deep Indignation when they
learned that the city officials had
cassed them with political agitators,
and as such barred them from the
parks.
This action has put an end to the
plans of the women. who had arrang-
ed to give "Votes for Women" con-
versations while their guests at the
proposed picnics slipped coffee and
tea and at doughnuts.
Mrs. Cora Lewis, Mrs. Charles Far
well Edison and other women identi-
fled with the suffrage movement
protested against the ruling, declar-
ing that they were not political agi-
tators and that votes for women was
not even political subject. But the
officials were obdurate, and the
doughnut campaign, so far as the city
parks are concerned, is taboo.
