London, May 1.-"The Home Rule bill is evidence of the government's $ intention to exclude women from all share in electing the local parliaments to be established in the various parts of the kingdom; therefore, we are against it,' says a manifesto issued by the Women's Social and Political Union, under the direction of Mrs. Emn1eline Pankhurst.
