Mrs. A. M. Dodge Declares American
Sufragists Contemplate Militancy.

Claiming that American suffragists are
on the verge of militancy, Mrs Arthur
NJ. Dodge, president of the National As
ISOLATION Opposed to Woman Suffrage,
has issued a statement in which she
criticises DR.. Anna Howard Shaw presi-
dent of the National American Suffrage
Association, for her attitude on the SUBJ
ject.
Mrs. Dodge said in her statement that
DR.. Shaw recently threatened to oppose
all candidates for Congress who did not
favor woman suffrage, and added that
such an attitude bordered on the mill
fancy of the English suffragists.
DIR. Shaw's statement is alarming
continued Mrs. Dodge, mot because the
suffragists are able to carry out the
threat, but because 1t marks the first
outward manifestation of militancy in
the United States. Obviously the suf-
fragists are not actuated by any desire
for the public good"
