MARGARET WILSON
ASSAILS SENATE
Declares 1t IS Trying TO Suppress
Right of Free Speech by
Women.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Miss
Margaret Wilson, daughter OF the
President, to-day assailed the United
States Senate before the National
Woman's Party Convention on a
charge Of trying to suppress free
speech.
rs II the business of Congress to
supervise the activities or speech of
those they represent" she asked. Tt
was even suggested the other day on
the floor of the Senate that we should
not be allowed to talk politics in our
centres. Isn't that amazing? Sup
pose we should initiate a nationwide
referendum to make new rules for
Senate discussions? What an outcry
there would be-
1T would not be a lawful proceed
ing, l know. and therefore impossible,
but would It be more logical and rea-
sonable for us TO make rules limiting
the discussions of those who are ac-
countable to us than that they should
make rules for our meetinEs?"
