great increase in volume OF actual

much better. Figures for

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.--Indirect rec
ignition of "the Republic OF Ireland"
was knocked out in the House to-day on
point Of order.
During consideration OF the diplo-
matte appropriation bill Representative
Mason, Republican (Ill), member OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee, offered
an amendment providing a salary of
$4,000 for Minister to ireland. In
stanuy half a dozen Representatives
were on their feet.
Chairman Rogers Of the subcommittee
of appropriations. In charge of the bill,
challenged the right Of the House to in
clude such an amendment on the ground
that 1t was without authority OF law
and that there had been no Executive
recognition OF Ireland.
Before the point was sustained by
Representative Towner. Republican

the question of policy with respect to
Ireland should be determined by Con-
gress on its merits and not on a parlia-
mentary point. AS the appropriation IL
authorized would not be available until

Joining a political party we do not feel
that we must give our conscience into
Its keeping
I'VE deeply resent the charge made in
two OF your public addresses that our
motive in pushing the welfare bills was
not honest, and we are amazed that you
should not know that they were ini-
tated. not by US. but BY the organized
working women of the state You have
made your own position on welfare leg
isiation perfectly clear. and we respect
your convictions. You owe us the same
respect
Since YOU, the leader or our party

hcly denounce our work we beg to SUBJ
NIT the following questions:
THE chief work of the League of
Women Voters is educating voters, es-
pecially women. Does not the Republi-
can party want an intelligent electorate?
We believe that voters should study
public questions in an unprejudiced way.
Therefore we offer non-partisan plat
form for their discussion. Does the Re-
publican party prefer that the voters
should accept a partisan view without
knowing anything about the subject?
I'VE Insist that public Office should be
given TO the man who win best serve the
public. and not IN payment for party
service. We believe that true economy
will result when public ONCE is regarded
not as party spells, but as public trust.
Does the Republican party disagree with
this?
'Wo believe that unthnking submits
sion to the dictates of the small groups
which habitually control our dominant
parties would be menace TO our coun-
trys future Does this belief preclude
our working with the Republican party?'

While the fight to prevent adthoriza-

Indignation at Gov. Millers criti-
cisms Of the League of Women Voters.
which he expressed at their banquet
last night, crystallized to-day in the
form Of letter of protest by forty-one
Republican members to the States
Chief Executive
The corridors Of the Ten Eyck Hotel
have been seething all day with groups
os excited and sorrowful delegates. The
women began at 2 o'clock this morn
ing to prepare a formal remonstrance
to the Governors statement that the
league was nothing more than a men
ace and his suggestion that it should
disband. But it was not until late this
afternoon that the final draft of the
protest was offered to the delegates to
sign.
Almost every speaker at the final
session of the convention referred in
some way TO the Governors criticisms.
The general opinion is that the Gov
ernor does not understand fully the
aims of the league and that he con-
siders it a woman's party with po-
litical aspirations and antagonistic to
men.

G. o. p. WOMEN SUSTAIN
GOV. MILLER'S POSITION
League Rebuked by Him Be-
gins to Lose Members.

Prominent Republican women backed
up yesterday the declaration of Gov.
Miller to the League of Women Voters
that activities such as theirs were super
fluous
There is no place for such an organ
ization in the political life Of the United
States to-day" said Mrs. Charles III.
Sabin. Women and men are in fact
and before the law equal partners In
our political scheme. When say equal
partners I mean literally that no sex
line Is drawn. The logical evolution of
the League of Women Voters would be
a sex party
Mrs. Arthur Lott, from the beginning
an ardent worker for suffrage, said: ~
am resigning from the League OF
Women Voters because find myself
in accord with Gov Miller's clearly ex-
pressed ideas of working through Il
party, and | want to devote all my time
to, participation in Republican activi-
ties"
1T was an old suffrage worker" said
Mrs. William Vanamee "but having Sc
cured that for which we fought, am
distinctly opposed to doing political
work along sex lines or lending myself
to any movement which, If 1t means
anything, is unworthy OF enfranchised
women"
Mrs. Rosaline Loew Whitney said the
Governor had we'll stated the functions
OF political parties. az trust the Re-

an opportunity of being grandmothers

morning meeting, This referred to that
portion Of the Governors speech in
for Its support of the eight hour bill,
saying thas the workers should be per-
nlitted to decide for themselves whether
they want TO work at night or in the
daytime.
Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw asserted
that the Governors speech had the same
effect on the league that kicking
Socialist out of the Assembly had had.
"It was good thing for the league" she
said.
Some of the views of other members
on the Governors speech were:
Mrs Alice Parker Hutchlns"A most
diabolical vituperative address,
Mrs. H. Edward Dreier-"I feel Gov.
Millers address will serve to ALLEVIATE
many women who believe in Independent
thought and judgment
Mrs. Estelle d. Bush am surprised
at the apparent lack of knowledge Shown
by Gov. Miller concerning the leagues
work"
Mrs. Alexander McIntosh--"G Governor
Miller's talk will serve as an incentive
for more aggressive work by the league"
Mrs. Frederick Raddatz-"I feel Gov
ernor Miller has been misinformed about
the work and purposes OF this organiza-
ton"
