ed from all England. Lloyd George
heard their arguments for the ballot
and answered some OF them. He de-
Med emphatically that Sir Edward
Grey or any other member of the cab
met would resign should votes for
women be lost or become a law.
Fish women. laundress, boot
worker, pit worker, a shop girl, sew
eral domestic servants and several
actresses made up the delegation that
the chancellor received at the request
OF Premier Asquith. They wore their
working clothes, for the most part.
and many Of them talked right up to
the chancellor.
Mrs. Flora Drummond was the first
to be introduced, and she contented
herself with formal plea that the
government support the snffragette
amendment that Sir Edward Grey
would offer to the franchise reform
bill introduced by Premier Asquith.
Mrs. Mary Wood, a middle-aged

Smashing of windows, pouring
paint, ink and acid into letter boxes,
cutting public telephone wires and
breaking UP meetings addressed by
cabinet members 80 far has been the
limit of the militants.
Lloyd-George, replying to ques-
tion put by Miss Annie Kenney, said
that 1t was untrue that Sir Edward
Grey would resign If the equal suf-
frage amendment lost.
Personally favor the proposed
Dickinson amendment, enfranchising
