General Mrs. Flora Drummond, in clos
ing the suffragette meeting at Albert

said:
Fight On. Fight On.
Flight on Fight oni That is the mes
sage that Mrs Pankhurst would send us
from Holloway Jail were she able
to get it out. And fight on is what we
intend to do
Mrs. Drummond won applause when
she qouted ncenliary passages from the
speeches of Sir Edward Carson, Andrew
Bonar Law and Frederick e. Smith on
the Ulster question, substituting for
men the word women and for 'Ul-
ster'' Votes for women
Since the government did not arrest

safe for me to repeat what they said with
the slight changes made
When bouquet from Miss Zelie Emer-
son was handed to Mrs. Drummond, there
was an outburst of cheering.
George Lansbury, ex-socialist member
of the house of commons, demanded the

her fellow prisoners and abandonment OF
the torture of forcible feeding.' He
urged the mlitants to continue to burn
and destroy property.
..If a leader is taken away he said,
"let dozen women step forward and
take her place This is a war in which
we shall do our best to preserve human
life, but show no regard for property of
any kind
The whole audience rising responded
Justify to call for three cheers for Mrs.
Pankhurst.
Resolutions were enthusiastically adopt
ed demanding that the government give
wcmen the vote on the same terms as
men. the liberation of Mrs. Pankhurst
and the abandonment of forcible feed
ing.
Mr.. Lansbury created mild sensation
by calling on the men to initiate and
