URGES DEFEAT OF
RATIFICATION IN TENN.
Annie Book of Los Angeles, Former
Suffrage Leader, Now an Anti,
Says the Vote Cheapens
Woman.

Knoxville, Tenn, July S.-Miss Annie
Book of Los Angeles, formerly an equal
suffrage leader, in letter to W. n.
Anderson, representative in the lower
house of the Tennessee legislature urges
him not to support ratification of the
suffrage amendment.
Suffrage, she says, coarsens and
chespens women. She expresses her
regret at her former activity in its
behalf, saying that since suffrage has
been granted there has been an alarm
ing increase in immortality, divorce and
murder in California.
The letter follows:
81 was one of the prominent workers
who helped to bring suffrage to Cali
fornia, and ], regret it,
"A year in politics has taught me
that women are intolerant, radical, rev
olutionary and more corrupt in politics
than men: also all this so-called reform
leads to the socialist cooperative com
monwealth.
"Since suffrage there have been alarm
ing increases in immortality, divorce
and murder in California.
"Woman suffrage has made towards
and puppets of men. 1t has coarsened
and cheapened women. Were the men
to vote on woman suffrage in California
to-day it would not carry.
"Suffragists asked suffrage that they
might put only good men in Office;
now they clamor for $3.50 show for
all offices.
Il shall do penance forever for the
part played in bringing suffrage in
California.
"Please urge your colleagues not to
do what will bring regret and disaster,
but TO stand for that 80 per cent OF
women who do not want suffrage, but
are glad to trust all politics and gov
ernmental affairs to the loved hus-
bands, fathers, sons and brothers.
ITO the south, woman suffrage would
bring more than calamity"

tions and uncertainty of obtaining the
necessary material are liable to lead
to numerous and unexpected delays.

Democratic nomination.
Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
committee, announced that these
charges had been filed and also stated
that the committee would continue its
efforts to learn the names of large con
tributors TO the Wood campaign fund.
William Loeb of New York, who de
scribed himself as "a sort of clearing
house through which the Wood funds
in the east passed" told the commit
tee "hs did not think it would be fair
TO the contributors" to mention their
names.
The committee was questioning John
son about lynchings in the South.
"They don't lynch men for belonging
TO the Republican party, do they!"
asked Senator Kenyon.
"Oh, yes, they do johnson replied
