sPEEC HES MILD

So far, nothing particularly startling
in the way Of free speech has occurred
IN the hall On the night that the report
er attended, a couple Of weIl-known New
York women, active in political work
made mild attack Oh the patronage
system, and intmated vaguely that now
that women have the ballot they are
going TO make the government take
care Of their sex and their babies A mem
Der OF the almost-forgotten Kerensky
cabinet in Russia made i rather inco-
herent plea for the return of Kerensky
10 Russia, lady made al even more
lncoherent plea for the children Of Aus
tria; and one ~ the borough Lpresldents
made q long speech about nothing ia
particular. Since then, Mr.. Frank A.
Vanderlip has caused a mild sensation by
proposing q brand-new body in the gov
eminent, consisting Of 30 senators, TO
keep tab on what he evidently considers
a somewhat untrustworthy State De
partment, but the rest Of the free speeches
have been in keeping with the halls
soft mulberry tones.
In fact, the more radical element of
New York is a tTife more inclined to
