Senator Borah Will Talk
To Sufragists, but Not
If Mrs. Pankhurst Attends

Senator Borah Of Idaho an ardent ex-
ponent of equal suffrage, is not in SYM
pathy with the hysterical adulation of
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst evidenced in
other quarters than the Senate. He has
planned a speaking tour in New Jersey
in advocacy OF the election OF former
Gov. Stokes to the Governorship. The
Woman's Political Union, OF Newark,
sent Senator Borah an invitation to ap-
pear on the platform OF their suffrage
mass meeting the same evening. SEN
ator Borah has sent his conditional ac-
ceptance of the Invitation. 1t follows
My Dear Madam: Your telegram ask
ing me to speak briefly at a suffrage
mass meeting, to be held at Newark.
n. j.. rext Saturday. October %, is at
hand. l am to speak in Newark the
night of the 18th, at a political gather
ing, and so far as ! know now / shall
be glad to address-your meeting II the
hours do not conflict You can. perhaps,
be best advised as to that by seeing the
local committee in charge OF my other
meeting.
Il am quite willing II any time to give
my assistance to the cause OF woman saf-
frage, and 1 expect to refer TO il during
my campaign in New Jersey, any way
But in view Of a matter now engaging the
attention of the public and in order that
tne COHliItlteS may not De embarrassed
possibly, l think / ought to say that IL
the visitor, now seeking admission to this
country, should be admitted, and be
present or if the meeting itself should
indicate any sympathy with her gospel
Of lawlessness and crime, l should feel
compelled to express my views in plain
and unmistakable terms. While l am
most anxious to assist in the cause, l
will not by silence or by the most indi-
rect way seem to indorse the vicious
principles which have been invoked in
the fight for woman suffrage in other
countries.
This is a government of law and order,
and there is no cause which ought to sue
coed which may not succeed along those
lines. l say this much in order that you
may not be misinformed as to my views
upon this matter, which may, / appre-
hend, arise at almost any suffrage gath
ering one way or the other at this time.
Very respectfully.
(Signed) WIN. E, BORAH"

LECTURES ON RELIGION

The Bible Is established SO firmly that

In speech. last night, before delegates
TO the convention OF the Woman's Home
Missionary Society, at Foundry NJ. Z.
Church.
Mr.. Bryan praised the Bible as the
greatest source OF good. He contrasted
Christianity and Buddhism and Concian-
ism. Then, he said, that while the re-
ligions of the Far East preach doctrines
OF negative harmlessness, Christianity Is
in advocation of positive helpfulness.
Mr.. Bryan was welcomed to the church
with the proper Chatauqua salute. Hand
kerchiefs, principally. were used in the
greeting that followed his ascent to the
platform.
At business meeting during the aft

Local SuRragists in High
Feather at the Admission
Of Mrs. Pankhurst to u. S.

Washington suffragists were in high
glee last night over Mrs. Pankhurst's adj
mission into the United States, which.
they claim, has attained a political sig
nificance and is a distinct recognition
by the President and other high govern
ment officials that the woman voters of
America are political power.
A woman high in the ranks OF the suf-
fragists said:
THE men In the Democratic party.
from the President down, and of other
parties realize that they dare not slap
women voters in the face. The issue of
the national election may very well be
determined by the women in ten elec-
toral States. / do not hesitate to pre-
dict that before the Presidential election
in 1916 votes for women will have gained
such power that the consent OF the
women governed as well as the men gov
erned will have to be earned before any
man can become President"
Detention an Outrage.
Mrs. Champ Clark, wife OF the Speaker,
who is a consistent and ardent suffragist,
said:
II am delighted that Mrs. Pankhurst
has been admitted. 1t was the proper
thing to do, and l myself would have
been willing to have gone on her bail. I
am certain her stay here will not be one
to be regretted by anybody"
Mrs. William A. Cullop, wife OF Rep
Tesentative Cullop of Indiana, who rep
resents hundreds OF Democratic wom-
en- throughout the country as presi-
dent of the women's National Demo-
cratic League, said:
The detention of Mrs. Pankhurst at
Ellis Island was an outrage and a dis
grace to the ideals of liberty and free
speech in the very foundation of this
government"
Miss Alice Paul chairman of the
Congressional committee of the Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association, said:
Il believe in an international move
ment-in American orators and suf-
fragists going to England, or France
and other countries to help their sis
ters there. and other women coming
to America getting sympathy for their
ideas in their countries. and to aid us
In our campaign.
No MiIitancy Expected.
The work should be international
but the methods adopted should be
adapted TO the needs and laws OF the
individual nations. Thus. militancy is
very necessary in England, but IT is
not necessary at the present time here.
Mrs. Pankhurst is far too sensible
woman to commit a militant act here.
of course, / am delighted that she
has been allowed to land, and I think
that the politicians of this country are
beginning to see that they cannot dis
please the larger part OF 1000, 1000
women voters"
