MIL|TANCY NOT
 WANTED IN U.S.
Suffrage for Women in America Not Achieved by Inflamatory Speeches Nor Window Smashing. Says Mrs. E. Brady O'Neill

1
 Militant methods are not necessar, ! in this country and inflanor?ato~, speeches of window smashing leader
 will have little or no infllence on tn,
 American suffragists, according t,
 Mrs. Eugene Brady O'NeiI, presiden of the Civic league, who sees nc reason why Mrs EmmeIine PanIIh,1rs+ should not be received as any other tourist in coming to the United States.
 Mrs. O'Neil, who conducted the votes for women campaign in this county year ago. does not favor miiitantism nor does she believe Mrs Pankhurst should be allowed tC preach it to any great extent ! If, according to rumOr, she should 1 come west, her visit would be of slight significance" said Mrs. O'NeiI, yesterday. We have been granted
 the ballot and her object in coming ! to California and Arizona would probably be to study our campaign methods. Her welcome will depend l on her actions in the eastern states. v l Mrs. ONeI does not believe the | Londoner is entirely to blame for her strenuous tactics
 she is following the example of dissatisfied and disgruntled English men," she declared. 'When they have been denied so-called justice they have resOrted to window smash ing and other violence Mrs Plank hurst is doing likewise in her eff fort to secure to the women. of Eng land their just rights"
 There seems to be a diversity of
 iF1if to the attitude they should assume toward Mrs. Pankhurst on the occa- sion of her visit to the United States New York, while not welcoming the English militant with open arms, will at least listen to her. After a some what lengthy and heated debate the Woman's Political union Of Brooklyn has gone so far as to ask her to march in the suffrage parade. Not so in PennsyIvania, however. The state convention is to be held OctO- Der 2S to 30 and the edict has gone forth that no invitation will be ex- tended to the leader of London wo- men. The committee in charge of Mrs. Pankhurst's tour have an nounced that she will arrive in New York on Saturday week and will speak the following evening in Ma dison Square Garden She is to be introduced by Mrs. O. H. P Bel mont and Mayor Kline and other city officials will be invited to at tend and deliver addresses.
 When Mrs Pankhurst has spoken in Madison Square Garden the people who hear her will know. I hope, what the situation is in England. and will realize how misleading are many of the newspaper reports of the mili- tants and their doings," says Miss Joan Wickham, the suffrage leaders advance agent
 Mrs Harriot Stanton Blatch, presi- dent of the Woman's Political union of Brooklyn, has requested Mrs. Pankhurst to march in the "Votes for Women" parade on November 1, contrary to the wishes of the chair man of the cooperative parade com mittee.
 Tt is all regular and proper" Mrs. BIatch declares. for weeks ago this organization was asked to bring section into the parade. And, anyhow. the committee chairman says that if Mrs Pankhurst insists on march ing the committee will not put her out"
 So it rests with Mrs Pankhurst or not IlllllldHtN iIidI NicS III the Brooklyn parade. No recognition of any sort. cordial or otherwise, awaits Mrs. Pankhurst from Pennsylvania suffragists on. her visit to this country. At the head quarters of the Equal Franchise fed cratiOneration. Mrs. F. M. Roessing, president of the Pennsylvania branch of the association, said that Mrs. Pankhurst had not been invited to the United States by the suffragists, nor would her presence be acceptable l
 Mrs J. O. Miller local president, | says Mrs Pankhurst will find only l slight opportunity in this city of dis on the agOnies of fOrcible | feeding, since members of the Wo 1 mans suffrage party intend to ignore | the presence of the English woman | and do all in their power to prevent | her speaking nere.'
 This public setatement has been l issued from the Pittsburg suffrage | headquarters have pledged. them selves to join with the Equal Fran | chise Federation of Pennsylvania in | fighting against the influence of the | militants and Mrs. Pankhurst will | find the doors of the local suffrage | closed to her, no matter | how loudly she may shout 'otes for l Women"
