time in the history offtie woman suf-
ffege movement that women have =
|Gorted to asblack list OF those opposed
to them, reads the announcement.
THE congressional committee has
spent year lobbying for the passage
OF national Legislation which would
b.fHg woman suffrage Throughout the
Omitted States. We have. polled both
houses Of congress repeatedly and we
know how every member stands. We
have gone further than that in the
lower house. where 1t was possible
10 OBTAIN actual records OF members
upon humanitarian measures In which
women OF the country are interested.
HIVE the Credentials.
"All of this data will be placed at
the disposal OF women In the various
states who are at liberty to use 1t as
they see fit. The women OF every
congressional district will be supplied
with. the record Of how their con-
gressmau voted on the question OF an
open uauoua, upon the various 55iiii5 55iiii5
establishing and strengthening the
children's bureau and upon the bill
to wipe out 'phossy Jaw from the
manufacture lof matches. M
Elm the meantime we feel it is In
cumbeDt on us to name the nine mem.
hnFer nd hn mir
hers of the lower house whose oppo-
s!tion to woman suffrage is Sc pow
erful, persistent and adroit as TO con-
stitute the greatest obstacle to fed
aral legislation women have to face.
Are After Lodge.
1--WE regard the nine senator's,
names as the bulwark Of the oppo-
sitfon. All or them retire in 1915 ex-
cept Senator Lodge, whose term ex-
pires in 1917. The latter is so deter
mined In his opposition that we COM
mend his case to the women of Mas
sachusetts who have two years in
which to organize against him.
Underwood In Bad.
I'm the lower house we, have had
to contend noI only with the nnwerfpl
resistance of Representative Snder-
wood and his lieutenant, Fitzgerald,
Of New York, but we have had. to con-
tend with the adroit opposition OF the
minority leader James n. Maurt,g OF
Illinois. The latter sllas made It plain
he Intends 10 capitalize his reputation
as author OF the white slave act"
We believe the women will be much
more interested Ii q bulletin we shall
Issue soon dealing condidly with Mr..
Mann'B record on this ana other spe-
cial legislation"
