WOMEN DON'T WANT
 SENATOR BRANDEGEE

(Continued from Page One) derstood and the persistent statement to the effect that he was more op- posed to woman suffrage not merely left urckallenged. If Senator Brande- gee has been for woman suffrage all these years. he has been successful in concea1ng his feelings.
 What have been the indications of his attitude that women have had to go by?
 First. his uniformly negative vote on suffrage in every form in which it actually came before him. What he might have done in hypothetical cases we cannot judge. We only know that he rejected the occasions that were presented to him.
 Second, the manner in which he has always referred both to suffrage and to women in his speeches and at other times. It has apparently been impossible for him to resist a fling at suffrage and suffragists whenever he could find an opportunity.
 During all his years in the sen- ate he never gave the faintest indi- cations of a favorable attitude toward the main questions put referred to the efforts of the women who were working in this enfranchisemen in the most bitter and insulting lan- guage.
 "He says. T tried to find some way but he persistently refused to re- ceive deputations of women who came to tell him and when a petition of a hundred and three thousand woineu's names was sent to Washing ton he treated this as if it did not exist.
 MT. Brandegee's statement appar- ently refers to some vague referen- dunn of the suffrage question to Con- necticut women. He never to our knowledge proposed legislation to such an end In the meantime the Connecticut women used all the re- cognized method by which public opinion expresses itself-petitions deputations, private letters, etc., without the slightest effect.
 "Mr. Brandegee is quoted by the Woman Patriot as saying he would oppose suffrage even if everyone in Connecticut were for It.
 ''The opposition of a large mum Der of women in Connecticut to his re- -elecion comes from no desire to get even, with him but his record on suffrage is illuminative of many other things and has illustrated an 'outstanding characteristic for which he may be either condemned or ap- proved according to the point of view of the voter The fact ca n hardly be questioned that one of his stronges; charact eristics is closed nind.''
