AN ADVOCATE OF EQUALITY.
But He Objects TO the S%uffragette Use
Of the Word.

To THE EDITOR or THE srN-Sir: In
THE Sun of October 3 a letter from "A
suffrlgette was published d the
title Mr.. TAFT Answered. His Anti-suf-
fraSe Argument Considered by an Advo-
cate of Equality"
Having been Il reader of THE SrS for
more than forty years I nave learned to
expect that It's STAFF will use Ian guagc
with some regard to the meaning of
words. What ! c%riticise In this case Is
that q sufragette should he called an
advocate Of equality"
The simple fact j. there is noi one
suffragette in the whole Of the United
States who has. so far as | know. ever
advocated equality" While personally

let US suppose that these are al the
