New Britain herald., 1920-10-09

To me tt does not matter whether it Is Miss Lucy Price. a former anti, or Mrs. Joseph W. Alsop. a former suffragist, who is sent to Berlin to rep resent the Republican ticket, all other things being equal. Neither of them is discussing suffrage. That is a dead issue, and think the majority of my sex is broad minded enough to put it behind us and make way for a con- alteration Of the real issue of our campaign.
 ''If the protest Of these two women against having Miss Price speak in Berlin was due to the fact that their minds were closed on the league Ques- tion. there would be no cause for crit ieism. But if they still seek informa- ton on the big issue, and refuse to listen merely because they differed with the speaker on a past issue, it does not speak we'll for woman sui frage. and if they object to the league and vet vote against Senator Brande- gee. knowing that a vote for him is the only way to vote against the league in Connecticut. two votes are utterly wasted and two voters disclose that they have much to learn of rep resentative government"
 Women Displeascd.
 In other circles there is still resent ment amongst the women of the town in regards to Miss Price speaking thii evening.
 Mrs. George Green, women who are Republicans and many non-partisans are not satisfied with the help of the Republican town committee in help ing them towards the enrolling of the women. The women claim that very little help has been extended them and tho Republicans havo not been too generous with information con corning their plans. AS long as the wonrn now have the right to vote and appear in whichever party they see ii. they see no reason why they should not have the hearty co-opera- ton of thu men.
 Women actively engaged in the en- rollins of their kin arc anxious to know at whose instance Miss Lucy Price was brought here to speak. With this tn mind they went to the republican headquarte in Hartford and had learned that Miss Price was brought here to speak. With this in mind they went to the republican headquarters in Hartford and had asked for by Berlin republican delega- ton. When the men were quizzed wom cn say they were told that they Cthe mem had to take whoever was sent and knew nothing else about it. The women arc engaged. If is claimed by a prominent woman citizen that Mtas Price is the only paid woman in the State of Connecticut to de- liver speeches. It is probable that she will speak highly for Senator BrandeEee.
 Miss Price for a number Of years was affiliated with the anti-suffrs gist association. She was only recently called in by the state central com nlittee and made publicity director at the republican headquarters in Hartford. Many of the republican women in town feel that a big po- liticsl blunder has been made in sc- curing the services of Miss Price. They were urged by Miss Ludington in Hartford. vice-president of the state suffrage league. that as republicans 10 protest against Miss Prices speak ing. Miss LudinCton says that Miss Price doesn't and cannot present the causes of the republican party to re- publican women.
 The women are now planning at an carly date to have a wome1 of defi- nite standing speak here soon. They claim that there are democratic prin- eipies behind thoir object in having the women presented with such a speaker SD that they can hear both sides of the question and tho unin- formed women of the town have help
