Dir. Anna Shaw marshalcd the sUffragist
forces at the Senate hearing. Mrs. Laid
law assured the seven listening Senators
that the gathered phalanx of women were
not militant, but only 'insistent and per-
sistent" Probably the most determined
speaker was Miss Leonora OReilly, of New
York, representing the wage earners. She
said:
We don't want to bluff you. We want
the ballot for our own good We don't get
half enough to live on and yet we have got
to keep decent You men make the laws
so that when you do wrong you get off, but
when We women do wrong we go TO the
gutter and prison. We have heard the
tOmmyrOt given to us by legislatures. We
know the game You men want this nation
to get rich. You don't know that riches lie
In human lives.
