SUBMARINE POLITICS"
"CamouAage," Says Anti in Describ-
ing Activities Of Suffragists.

Submarine politics" is the phrase
used by the National Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage to describe
the suffragists' efforts to have the
Anthony amendment adopted at this
session OF Congress. A statement
signed by Miss Minnie Bronson, gen.
eral secretary of tho association,
charges that an organized campaign is
being made to conceal the obnoxious
features of the suffrage amendment
This statement alleges that letter
aligned By a woman member Of Con-
gress" to another member Of the House
"Of course. voting for the amend
ment Is not voting to enfranchise the
women. 1t simply delegates power to
the various state legislatures to extend
the right of suffrage to the women"
'aThis is camouflage." says Miss
Bronson.
This amendment gives the suffra-
gists and socialists the right to annoy
every legislator in the United States
until a majority Of the men in thirty
six legislatures have surrendered
their Judgment and principles to polit-
ical threats Hnd cajolery."
