The gathering yesterday at the head
quarters Of the union, at II West Forty
fire, Street, was q gathering Of malcon-
tents. Nothing suited anybody. Sens-
tor O'Gorman got no credit for his last
minute stand for woman suffrage in
New York. President Wilson got scant
appreciation, either; and as for the
Mems League, It was "rope Of sand"
according to Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch.
"Men, ge. inside the political parties
and make yourselves disagreeable II
you really want to help suffrage" she
said. These leagues Of men outsids
the regular political organizations. who
use no political power but tiny scrap
of paper in the ballot box. are ropes OF
sand. Think what Senator O'Gorman
could have done inside the Democrats
party If he had wanted toll"
George Creel struck the Same note.
"Quit this pussy-footing around" he
said. 81 have been campaigning for
six months, and everywhere | have
been told, Don't do anything to iirri-
tate the men, | didn't want to lrri-
tate them. | wanted TO mutilate theml
You women have got to come out OF
the Victorian era and campaign IN
terms of the age you are fighting In.
Mrs. John Winters Brannan even
gave away the secret Of how President
Wilson came to have a suffrage recep-
ton on December 8 at the White
House. Miss Alice Paul wrote to him
once, asking him to receive the ENJOYS
from the Panama-Paciic Exposition.
Secretary Tumulty replied that the
President would be too busy. She
wrote again, and received the same nm
swer. A third time she wrote, and this
time came word that the President had
been able to rearrange his plans so
that he could receive the two ENJOYS,
L.. ha N.
Would Miss Paul see that the delega-
ton was limited to four in all?
On the heels Of this note, however,
came another saying that there would
be room for three hundred suffragists
and would Miss Paul please send him
their names so that invitations could
be sent out from the White House.
The Congressional Union has its own
EXPLANATION Of this incident, and u is
not unconnected with the fact that
four million women vote in the West
ern states.
