I three years ago. Last year we circu-
lated petition of our own and at the
expense of the national organization
the Socialist party. sent Caroline A.
Lowe and Jessie Cole Phillips to
Washington to speak before the Con
gressional Committees. CRU Socialist
Congressman made a strong plea for
suffrage in a paper which he sent to
be read before the committees owing
to his unavoidable absence at the time
of the hearing. T..
In my own state Of California. the
Socialists have more women candi-
dates on the ticket than any other
party. Among the Presidential cleo
tors the Socialist parry leads with five
women, while the Progressive party
tags along behind with only one cleo
tor. In Washington the candidate for
governor on the Socialist ticket is
Anna A. Maley. There are a number
of other women also on the ticket.
The women have a voice in the de-
alterations of our party, they serve on
all it's various committees, they are
mineesSfor political offices and the
Socialist party organization has spent
much time and energy and funds to
propagate the doctrines of equal sui
frage. The constitution, just adopted
by a referendum vote of the member
ship, requires that everyone joining
the party as dues paying member
shall believe in the doctrine of politi-
cal action and the unrestricted poll
tical rights of both men and women.
The National Office has sent out mil
lions of leaflets on the suffrage ques-
ton.
In the fact of these facts, the claim
Of the Progressive Party to being the
only party working for woman suffrage
is nothing short of bare. faced inn
pudence.
If the Republican Party had come
out for suffrage and then made this
claim, we might account for such ac-
I ton on the ground that it did not con-
slider the Socialist party of, enough
consequence and size to count for
naything. But for party that is not
yet-out of its long clothes, that has. not
yet seen its first election day, that
has not so much as elected dog
catcher, for this party to arrogantly
set up the claim that it has, is the
biggest piece Of gall that has been dis
played in American politics in a long
while. This Progressive Party only
exists on paper and in the brains OF
Teddy, the Big /, and some sentiment
al reformers and admirers.
We have no monopoly on the prin-
ciple of woman suffrage and would be
glad to see every political party in
corporate it in it's platform and in
struct it's legislators and congressman
| to vote for the enfranchise ment of the
women. -
In the light of the nearly a dozen
years of active and aggressive service
on the part of the Socialist Party or
ganization for woman suffrage, the
claim of the three-Ihonths old party to
be tn only political party officially
working for and endorsing suffrage and
recognizing women in it's councils and
! deliberations is absolutely unwarrant-
ed.
MY dear Miss Adams, if the Bull
Moose Party followers are so unjust
and unfair and dishonest in this sub
/ ject, what evidence have we that the
party will be square on any other
| question:? Above all things, let US be
just and fair.
Yours sincerely,
