behalf of the equal suffrage amend
ment in Ney York State. When the
organization opposed to equal suf-
frage protested against this use of
an official bulletin published at the
expense of all the people, the excuse
was made by the editor that the
interviews were given by public Of
ficials and, therefore, were deemed
proper matter for presentation as
official information. That this is
mere excuse and not a true explana-
ton is evident from the fact that
some time ago there was published
in. the Bulletin a reprint of an edi-
torial from a private magazine at
tacking the methods pursued by GER
tain equal suffrage advocates.
While the present criticism has
been voiced by the opponents of
protest is not the fact that the Bull
letin was used for equal suffrage
propaganda, but that it was used
for propaganda of any kind. 1t is
fully realized that if the admins
tration can use the Bulletin for
propaganda purposes in one instance
it can do so in other instances, until,
when the next campaign is on, it can
use the Official Bulletin" largely
as a campaign document In order
that this end may not be reached,
it is felt that there should be wide
protest against making document
paid for by all the people an agency
for advocating the views of the party
that happens to be in power.

We can help our country, help our
