FOR SUFFRAGE AS RIGHT.
Max Eastman, Socialist, Doesn't
Think Women Will Purify Politics.

Max Eastman, editor Of a socialist mag
azine. spoke in favor of woman suffrage
last night at the home of William p.
Emo. 1771 n street northwest He de-
Tended militant tactics in working for
suffrage, but said he did not believe there
would ever be any militancy in the Unit
ed States.
Mr.. Eastman said that he advocated
votes for women because he thought 1t a
human right but that he did not think
the entrance of women into politics would
purify politics much.
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper and Miss Janet
Richards, following Mr.. Eastman's ad.
dress. took issue with his conclusions and
declared that women will be certain to
purify politics.
