SUFFRACISTS REFUSE
TO PLAY SECOND FIDDLEH
Reply Of Mrs. Donaldson 70 COMMITTEES
Of Seventy Shows Firm Atti-
tude of Party

An example Of tho determination OF won.
an to have direct influence In politics. to
the extent Of refusing Indirect aid, was cited
today in statement issued by the Penn
sylvania branch Of the National woman.
Tarty.
When Mrs II. II. Donaldson. OF ssio
Race street. was asked by the COMMITTEES
Of Seventy 60 give financial support TO that
body the statement reads. "she sent ~
following reply: I regret to say no Il any
appeal for good cause. but when com
slider the experience Of cities where woman
suffrage is allowed. and their redeemed and
decent polling places. and that IL is in the
hands OF our men 70 improve conditions
whenever they choose by granting us sur
trage, feel deep sense of injustice.' =
Mrs. Donaldson's refusal concludes by as
serting that the position Of those opposed
TO suffrage is autocratic and on a par with
men.
