WHAT CAUSED

Suffrage Leaders Mum Over
Departure Of the Junior

resignation OF Mrs. @. w. Naysmith
as instructor and leader Of the Jun
ior Suffrage League, composed OF the
daughters OF army and navy officers
and many OF the most prominent So
ciety leaders in Washington.
No one will discuss II, and only

Mrs. Naysmith herself admitted she
had resigned, but when asked the rea-
son said there is no statement TO
make" and refused TO discuss it in
any way.
Why the identity OF her successor.
Mrs. Bolcomb. should be kept a dark
secret is not known. Miss Willard, of
suffrage headquarters. practically
chose Mrs. Holcomb as the lecturer
for the young enthusiasts who thirst
for strong arguments in favor OF wom-
an suffrage TO throw at the heads of
opponents.
Members Of the Junior League know
Mrs. Holcomb and think she will be
success as a lecturer.
Mrs. Naysmth wanted to speak
about international affairs and we
thought that she should discuss only
suffrage matters" Miss Rosalie Wa
ters. president OF the league said and
refused to discuss it further.
The league is strictly a local af-
fair to Washington. II was formed a
year ago and thirty young daugh-
