Regulating the mild miltancy" of
Congressional Union members as unrep-

ISOLATION, Mrs. Katherine Reed Balentine
of Portland, president of the Maine Wo-
man Suffrage Association, makes this
public statement, through the press of
Maine:
In view of the fact that many letters
have come to me criticizing the activi-
ties of the Congregational Union in
Washington, 1 take this opportunity to
say that the Union is separate and dis
tinct organization from the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
and the policies of the two are totally
different.
THE Maine Association Is affiliated
with the National and is heartily in ac-
cord with its clearly defined policy Of a
persistent but dignifed demand for JUS
tice based on the principles of democra-
cy, and it's strictly non-partisan attitude
This association is ready and glad to as
sumo its small part of responsibility for
any plan of campaign inaugurated by the
National but considers it manifestly un-
fair that 1t should be held responsible for
the actions of an organization with which
It is neither connected nor in sympathy
THE Republican party in Maine pledg-
ed itself in its platform to secure a ref

Legislature now in session. The Repub-
licans have the necessary two-thirds ma
jority, and there are more than enough
Democrats pledged to vote for the meas
ure to make up for any possible Repub-
lican defections. But. there will be no
OBJECTIONS. because the day when plat
form pledges could be ignored has pass
ed. Nor do the members of the present
Legislature seem at all disposed to ig-
more their pledges.
There is little doubt that the eoua,
suffrage resolution will be passed during
the present session of the Legislature.
