Three times and OUT will he the
slogan of the Congressional Union for
Woman Suffrage IN dealing with Presi-
dent Wilson hereafter. II worked hke
a charm in the matter Of getting the
President TO consent to receive the two
enyoy Mrs. Sara Bard Field and MISS
Frances Jolliffc. who are coming from
the West with a petition fer a Federal
suffrage amendment signed by 100000
women voters. Mrs. John Winters
Brannan told tie story at the meeting
OF the Congressional tnion yesterday
at IS East Forty-first street.
"Miss Alice Paul wrote "a note ashlils
Mr.. Wilson To- receive the enNoys, ana
his secretary. Mr.. Tumulty. replied mat
the Presidents tine was so hlled win
important political matters that IL was
IMPOSSIBLE" said Mrs. Biannan. Miss
Paul wrote again, explaining that TINS
was an important political matter. and
again the answer was NO \ third
time she wrote and then Mr.. Tuinuity
replied that tho President hat re-
arranged his plans and would he able TO
receive the ENJOYS on December o.
There would be only room. he added
for two other women besides the en-
yoSs.
"But on tho heels Of that came
another letter from Nj. Tumulty say
ing the President had further re-
arranged his plans and could receive
900 women and asking the Congress
Siunal tnion to send him the names
of 500 prominent ~suffragists so the IN
Nitatious could come from the "hi'e
House"
