ANTI-SUFFRAGE NOTES

Hundreds Of Anti-suffragists from
all over the State poured into Spring
field for the Massachusetts, Anti-Suf-
frage Convention on June 9 and 10
AT the mass meeting on the evening
OF June 9, the big auditorium was
said by Springfield people to have
been better filled than ever but onco
before in its history. Extracts from
the speeches made at that meeting
are here given
DR.. Ernest Bernbaum OF Harvard
was the first speaker. He said in
part: The suffragist cry Liberty,
but what they really demand Is the
coercion Of their sex; for they op-
posed the taking Of a referendum
among the women Of Massachusetts
on this question. That opposition Will
cost them the support Of every man
who learns of IT,
Though suffrage orators glibly
quote from the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, their political theory is un-
American in origin and character. It
is largely based upon the assumption,
unsupported by American political
thinkers, legislatures. and courts, that
whatever holds true between man
and man must therefore hold true
between man and woman II this
principle were true II would lead TO
an abrogation of all the legislation
by which special privileges and pro-
lection are now given 10 women.
"The enthusiastic support Of wo-
man suffrage by the Socialist party
the most un- American OF parties--is
significant Both are Of French
revolutionary origin; both are ma
terialistic in their distrust Of spiritual
power; both assail the truth that the
family is the unit Of society Both
tend TO regard government as the su-
premely important function OF life
/ Enmity TO the Constitution Of the
United states is ingrained in the
/ temperament and mind Of Socialist
and suffragist alike.
