WORD OF CHEER SENT
TO SUFFRAGE MARTYRS
Philadelphia Sympathizers APP
plaud Militants Arrested
in Washington
MRS. LEWIS HONOR GUEST
Statement of National Woman's Party
Demands Constitutional
Amendment

Philadelphia sympathzers with the suf-
frage plckets in Washington, who have put
in the last few days being arrested and re-
arrested for their banner display around the
White House, met at the College Club today
and formulated word Of cheer to send to
the martyrs"
Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, who with Miss
Lucy Burns held the banner the afternoon
the Russian mission called on President
Wilson and was the first TO be arrested, was
the guest Of honor.
After a conference on the general work OF
the National woman's party the executive
committee Of the Pennsylvania branch OF
that militant organization drew up the fol-
lowing statement:
'"rlme was when the justice OF woman
suffrage had to be expo ended, Through the
efforts Of thousands of progressive women
and n smaller number of progressive men,
this fact has been clearly established In
the public mind and needs no further
emphasis.
To-day the question before us is simply
one OF method The women of the country
must be enfranchised and Congress should
take favorable action on this reform now
Since the war began. Canada has fully
enfranchised the women Of British Column
bia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba and
Ontario reconstructed Russia has, also,
been fair 10 her women and granted them
equal suffrage; England is about TO follow
these examples II these and other nations
In the throes OF war can take action on
the political freedom of women, should
not the Congress Of the United States do
likewise? We answer emphatically yes
and commend the fearless leaders Of the
Natonh. Woman's party for pointing out
to the world the failure Of our Government
to do it's duty TO women.
"The Congress Of the United states has
entered our homes and demanded OF us
our husbands. our sons, our brothers; ts
laying heavy taxes upon us to maintain the
war and is asking from us all sorts OF
heroic service We stand ready TO answer
our country's call, but, In return, we de-
mand the right to have a voice in the treat
ment accorded our loved ones who go to
the front, to say how the taxes shall be
spent and to decide upon the best kind OF
service needed from U.S.
We therefore, call upon the President
of the United States and upon Congress to
take immediate favorable action on the
woman suffrage amendment and while maxi
ing the world safe 70: democracy, TO begin
this noble work at home"

Ernst Kennedy, Miss Mary II. Ingham, Miss
Mary A. Burnham, Miss Harriet w. Dulles.
