MISS Daniels VIII Keep up Fight.
column article was published in the
Boston Sunday Globe concerning the re-
fusal of Miss Lucy ]. C. Daniels to pay
certain taxes in this town and the result
ing sale of her national bank stock The
article contained an interview with Miss
Daniels on the woman suffrage ques-
ton. The first part of the story was as
follows:
Miss Lucy j. c. Daniels of Trinity
Court, whose refusal to pay taxes on
her property and that of her sister in
Grafton, VT, because the representative
from Grafton in the last Vermont legis-
lature voted against the woman suf-
frage bill, resulted in the sale by the
town of several shares of stock in the
Bellows Falls National bank, declares
she has as yet no cause to feel upset
over the turn affairs have taken.
The stock, which was sold at auc-
ton and was bought by her nephew as
agent of her brother, has been paid for
by the latter, but not delivered to him
by the government, since the law does
not allow it to seize national bank stocks
Without the concurrence of the party who
owns them. The only way therefore
that the authorities can deliver the goods
which they sold in advance is to get
Miss Daniels's consent to the seizure,
which she does not propose to give.
Even If she is compelled to yield she
feels that everything is all right since
the stocks will stay in the family
Miss Daniels is an ardent suffragette
and an active worker for the winning of
woman's right to vote in Vermont and
in fact throughout the country. She
believes ii manifestly unfair for women
to be allowed to vote in the West and
not in the East, as is now the case. She
has inherited her ideas on this matter
from her mother. she says, and it was
also from her that she received the
stocks of the bank, so she feels that
they have gone for a good cause
