BIG PREPARATION IS IN VAIN Speaker Attacks Officials of British Government. "DYNAMIC" WAY DEFENDED Names of Churchill, Asqulth and Lloyd George Hissed Flogging of "Customers" of White Slaves Demanded. NEW YORK, Oct. 2L Mrs. Emma line Pankhurst addressing tonight In Madison Square Garden, her first Amer ican mass meeting, explained why mili tary methods for the cause of woman suffrage are followed in England, and defended such methods. She criticised the British government as the most conservative on earth and held It re sponsible, through failure to enact leg islation desired by women, for the ac tion of advocates of suffrage In re sorting to violence to obtain the bal lot. Only through dynamic means, she declared, could English women hope to secure laws dealing with white slavery. Industrial evils and other - conditions affecting women. 'Overflow' Meeting Unnecessary. Preparations had been made for an overflow meeting at Madison Square Garden, but the big hall, with a seat ing capacity of about 12,000 persons, was scarcely one-quarter filled. This was attributed by the suffragists to Ihe uncertainty existing until almost the eleventh hour as to whether the Immigration authorities would allow Mrs. Pankhurst to land in this coun try. . Some leading suffragists of this iountry and a few "hunger strikers" ..-.t with Mrs. Pankhurst on a stage "raped with tri-colored flag bearing "fiie inscription, -"Resistance to tyranny i3 obedience to God." Socialist Candidate Prelde. Mrs. Pankhurst was introduced by Charles Edward Russell, Socialist pan didate for Mayor. The audience, the majority of them women, made a dem onstration lasting 2 minutes when the English militant leader appeared to speak. Women stood on chairs and frantically waved handkerchiefs and yellow flags. Mrs. Pankhurst closed her eyes and waited for the enthusi asm to pass away. Mrs. Pankhurst told of her experi ences at Ellis Island, praising the im migration authorities. She declared the work at Ellis Island was admirably done and that Immigrants were cared for there far better than are the poor in Great Britain. "I have been accustomend to plead ing my own cases in England," she said. "I wanted to go to Washington and plead my own case there. I want to thank those who pleaded for me there and thank the American public. I do not thank the Washington au thorities, and I do not think President Wilson wants to be thanked. He would say 'I did my duty.' I congratulate the American people who have officials in high places who. perform their duties as they see them. Peaceful Methods Fall. "Women tried persuasion and argu ment In England, peaceful means that have been effective here," Mrs. Pank hurst said. "These failing, violence be came necessary. Nothing ever was se cured from an English Parliament ex cept through violence," she said. "The machinery of the British government Is an elaborate arrangement of how not to do anything. Whatever social leg islation has been secured has been due to "women's civil war and much of it was granted to soften the spirit of the suffragettes." The old age pension law, she de clared, was granted to save Winston Churchill his seat In the cabinet. The names of Churchill, Asqulth and Lloyd George evoked hissing. , ' By nature law-abiding, hating vio lence and disorder, Mrs. Pankhurst said, she had from the beginning felt absolutely guiltless, for she believed there was no other way to secure wo men's rights. "The women who have drawn the prizes in life's lucky bag are the ones who are waging , this war," she said. "The women with good lathers, good husbands, good brothers and who are engaged In useful Indus tries, they are fighting for the women of all classes." White Slave Remedy Offered. - Mrs. Pankhurst discussed equal suf frage and white slavery. White slav ery she characterized as "more awful even than negro slavery in Us worst form ever was In the United States. In the white slavery are slaves of every color and they are all of one sex," she said. She criticised England's flogging act providing punishment lor white slave agents. ' "Why don't they go to the seat of the evil?" she said. "Why don't they pun ish the customers. With no demand there would be no traffic. Give the women the opportunity to frame the legislation and there will be no white slavery. The government of the coun- try Is the biggest white slave firm we have."

SPLIT PROFITS DEMOCRATS Republican Harmony Move ment Receives Impetus. FUTILITY OF FIGHT SEEN Effects of Progressive Activity Will Bo Only to Elect Another Demo cratic House United Party Might Win. WASHINGTON'. Oct 21. (Special.) To tlie political leaders who are' manipulating with a view to carrying the next National election, the election in the Fifth Supreme Court district in Illinois yesterday in which Judge Craig, the Democratic candidate, was elected, the Republican nominee. Judge Puterbaugh, was second and the Pro gressive candidate a bad third. Is re garded as tremendously significant Complete returns received here show that Craig received 17,696 votes, Puter baugh 14,056, and Shay, the Bull Moose candidate, only 3128. The heavy decrease in the Progres sive vote In this election, taken in con nection with the results of various spe cial elections held within the year, is great encouragement to the Repub licans who are primarily interested In the National get-together movement. These election results are likely to have the significance brought more fully to light when the Republican Na tional committee meets In December and later in connection with the spe cial National convention which the committee is expected to call. Party I.imt Without Colonel. The thing now plain to all the astute politicians is that the personal Roose velt force was the great factor in piling up the vote which the Progres sive party obtained in the National election of a year ago. Without Roose velt's personality, it appears that tho Progressives can hardly anywhere ex pect to run better than a poor third. This fact, It is believed, will appear with further undeniable force In the Con gressional elections next Fall, If the Progressives go ahead with their pro gramme of nominating candidates in all districts throughout the country. As matters now appear, the main ef fect of Progressive activity in the 1914 campaign will bo the election of an other Democratic House of Representa tives and perhaps the strengthening of the Democratic hold on the Senate, re gardless of conditions and circum stances which otherwise might break the control of the present dominant party on the affairs of the Govern ment 1)1 Vinton Help Drmorratn. It Is being pointed out as most sig nilicant that in the elections held since the National election. Congressional and otherwise, the Republican and Progres sive vote together In practically every instance has greatly outnumbered the vote cast for Democratic candidates. In other words, Democrats have been win ning the elections, as they did in No vember last, by reason of the division among the former Republicans. Many of the political observers are declaring that when this aspect of the situation is thoroughly absorbed by the rank and file, the futility of continuing the fac tional division against the common po litical enemy will be realized and seri ous steps taken to reunite those who believe in fundamental Republican principles. In short, it is believed that tho Pro gressive slump with Roosevelt's per sonality out of the equation will bring about the amalgamation which the get together protagonists are seeking. Bay State Situation Peculiar. The Progressives, following their re verses elsewhere throughout tho coun try, are not unlikely to receive consid erable encouragement through the ap proaching election in Massachusetts. If they do make a great showing in the Old Bay State, the most will ba made of it, temporarily, at least, but In the long run, it is believed the general sit uation will tend toward a reunion of the old Republican forces. The situa tion is peculiar in Massachusetts in that Mr. Bird, the Progressive candi date for Governor, is much stronger than his party, in the opinion of well informed politicians. Ho made a great run a year ago, and this year it Is ex pected that he will poll more than half of the vote he obtained last November. It is expected that he will get at least 60,000 and perhaps 70,000 votes, where as it is doubtful if any other man run ning in his place on the Progressive ticket could poll more than 30,000, or. at the most 40.000.
