SUFFRftGtSTS ON
THE OPPOSITION
Prominent Portland Women Who Oppose Woman Suffrage
Declare They Are Pleased, as
It Will Lend Spice to
the Campaign.
LEADERS EXPRESS VIEWS
ome Say Anils Arc Making Best
Argument for Cause by Going
Into Politics Others
Call It a Joke.
The organization of an Anti-Suffrage
Association by some of Portland's smart
set has not taken the reef out of the sails
of the suffrage workers which the newly
fledged politicians seem to anticipate. In
fact, the suffragists welcome the move
ment as "something to give a bit of spice
to an almost one-sided issue." as Miss
Gregg puts It, and not a few of the cam
paigners who seek for equal rights regard
the whole matter as a Joke.
Says They Cannot Talk.
The whole thing doesn't cut any fig
ure with the suffrage campaign," said
Mrs Grace Watt Ross, one of the most
able women among, the Portland suffrag
ists. "Of course they can't talk with our
speakers they demonstrated that fact
the first opportunity they had to come
forward with their side of the question.
The truth of the matter Is that there are
several elderly women in their organiza
tion whose ideas have not kept pace with
the demands of the times, and they doubt
less' think it would be a torrlble calamity
for the women of this state to have equal
rights with men. As they are leaders
well, the others follow suit. What more
Is to be said?"
Mrs. Jefferson Myers Laughs.
Mrs. Jefferson Myers would not talk
much about the matter she just laughed.
"No, 1 won't talk about It for publica
tion." she replied to all urging for an ex
pression. "I am sure those particular
antis do not understand the question they
oppose so discussion Is of no avail. Why
don't they understand It? .Well, people
who are rich do not as a rule keep in
touch with the wage-earners, or the class
of people who would benefit by the ballot.
I doubt if any one of the womon men
tioned In this morning's Oregonlan as
members of the new Anti-Suffrage Asso
ciation ever earned a dollar In hor life.
This being the case, what do they know ,
about the real needs of the working peo- -pie?"
Works for Enfranchisement.
I don't support the suffrage movement
because I think I am going to -benefit by it
personally." exclaimed Mrs. Henry Waldo
foe. who is one of the most enthusiastic
workers in the state. "1 am working for
r nfranchlsement of women because I
Know that millions of women who have
not the comforts of life which I enjoy
will be benefited by it4 in many, many
ways. It is not so much the voting privi
1 ge we women are strivingJTfor as the
means to an end. and that end Is justice
t all. With equal rights a fair value
will be set upon women's services, and
they will not have to perform the same
service as a man for half the salary. The
womon who have formed this anti-suffrag
frage Association do not realize what the
nie-asure means to working and self-supporting
women. I am sure If they did
tlicy would never raise a finger against
helping such classes. Because thoy do not
ned the benefit themselves Is no reason
why they should object to others enjoying
sjch good as will result from the right to
use the ballot. They have not given the
other side of the question the consldera.
Uon to which It is entitled."
Mrs.. Dunhvay's Views.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway, the
pioneer wontcr in the 6Uffrage cause
in Oregon, has a memory into which
Fhe occasionally digs and brings up in
trres.tlng incidonts of other days. It
was she who first started the agitation
in favor of equal suffrage years"ago
only there wasn't much in favor of it
l hen. But as years went on many
stanch supporters appeared among the
prominent people of the state.
I notice the names of four rich
women among the members of the anti
suffrage association," she began In
reminiscent vein, "who are not fol
lowing the convictions of their hus
bands and fathers in this matter. In
one of thp early campaigns I believe
it was In 'Si, the four mon who gave
the suffrage question the stanchest
support, both with money and influ
ence, were W. S. Ladd, J. B. Montgom
ery, H. J- Corbett and Henry Falling.
Mr. Ladd used to say, repeatedly, and
I have heard Mrs. Ladd repeat the
saying frequently, that the salvation of
this republic depended upon the en
franchisement of women.
Should Get on Klght Side.
"But the women of this new organi
zation are all right they are exercis
ing the rights they denounce in tak
ing action against any aucstion of the
day. They want something to do, for
they inherited their money and did not
have to earn It, so I suppose they
thought they would go Into politics.
It's a pity, however, that as they have
to mix in politics that they can't get
on the right side of the fence Instead
of being used as cats' paws to rake the
liquor men's chestnuts out of the fire."
Mrs. Dunlway explained that she
meant by this that the liquor dealers
were known to be the bitter foes of
the suffrage question and were behind
all anti-suffrage associations In some
guise. She also suggested that the new
association might have been organized
through the New York Anti-Suffrage
Association, as It was during the last
campaign when a representative was
sent to Oregon and the campaign fund
furnished the same women who have
formed the recent organization having
been members of that one,
Another suffragist of this city has
suggested that the liquor Interests of
Portland arc behind this present anti
suffrage movement, saying "Of course
we can't openly accuse them of being
allied with the liquor interests, but it
Is vor suggestive.
Disputes the Statistics.
Gail Laughlin, who Is attorney for
the Oregon State Suffrage Association,
disputes a portion of the statistics of
lfred by tho antis, in reference to tho
Oeteats of women's suffrage. She says
In reference to the defeats of woman
suffrage chronicled by the "antis," I have
this to say. The equal-suffrage movement
started in imb, wun every one opposed.
Every vote gained for woman suffrage la.
therefore, a victory, even though In some
states these votes do not yet constitute
a majority. As to the specific instances
.ncntioned oy "anus," in which woman
suffrage measures have failed to get i
majority. I have not the knowledge en
ablins me to say. concernlnc- everv In
stance, whether the facts are as statud.
but I do know that in the two cases of
which I have knowledge the facts are
misrepresented or incorrectly stated in

hearings to any petition for woman suf
frage. This was unusual, for It Is the
first time In several years that the omis
sion has occurred." The National Woman
Suffrage Association asks for a hearing
before Congress only once In two years.
This request has never been refused.
Every other j-car a hearing Is had; every
other year no hearing is had or asked for.
Year before last we had a hearing; last
year was the off year, and no hearing was
had or asked for. But it was not "un
usual," it was the regular order of pro
ceeding. It was not "the first time in
several years that the omission has oc
curred." for. from the beginning, a hear
ing has been had only once In two years.
It Is stated that last year, "In California,
the Senate voted 14 to 21 against submit
ting a constitutional amendment for
woman suffrage." the statement giving
the impression that only H votes were
ca&t for woman suffrage and 21 against. I
was present at the California Legislature
when that vote was taken. The 21 votes
were in favor of the amendment, and the
14 were against (and one of the 14 was
cast on that side for the sole purpose of
moving a reconsideration). The Califor
nia constitution, however, requires for
the .submission of a constitutional-amendment
the affirmative vote of two-thirds
of all the members elected to both housos
of tho Legislature, and. therefore. In spite
of the heavy majority in Its favor, the
bill failed to pass.
Welcomes the Opposition.
Miss Laura Gregg, in charge of the
suffrage headquarters, wclcomos the now
organization and claims It will be a groat
help to the campaign. "It indicates that
they have taken a etep in the direction
of suffrage," she says. "When thoy or
ganize to fight suffrage they are taking
the movement in the very thing for which
the suffragists are contending. The fact
that they havov organized must necessar
ily weaken tho force of their arguments.
since they are doing the very thing which
wo contend they should have the right
to do.
However, they do not seem to square
tnoir oeiieis wun their actions, for a
well-known lady of this city 'phoned me
this morning that Mrs. Corbett, ono of
the officers of this newly organized anti-
association, a few years ago became very
much interested in a free kindergarten
department for the public schools, and
that she appealed to the suffrage women
and to the club women to work for the
establishment of a free kindergarten, and
that under hor leadership women wont to
the polls and voted for it and zealously
worked to get others to do 20. It Is
therefore evident that one of their ofll
cers is a suffragist by hor actions whother
she believes in the right of suffrage or
not.
Will Give Life to Campaign.
"At any rate, the anti organization
will give life and zest to our campaign.
which otherwise might be lacking In en
thusiasm, if we had things all our own
way. It will certainly have Ihe effect of
waking up the indifferent, and allying
them with one side or the other, and
whenever people begin to think upon this
question, they find that the logic and
justice are upon our side."

SALARY'HELD UP MEANTIME
Patrolman John A. Lcc, Who Was
Dismissed From Force, Slakes
an Appeal to tho Civil
Service Commission.
Eight members of the City Council late
yesterday afternoon attached their slgna-
xurop to a call for a special meeting noxt
Wednesday afternoon, to consider the
various questions that have arlson lately
concornlng Patrick Bruin s legal right to
hold the position of Captain of Detectives
of this city. Pending the final determi
nation of the Issues involved, his salary
will be held up. and he. will be. obliged
to work without pay honceforth until
it 1p demonstrated beyond the possibility
of doubt that he is lawfully entitled to
receive money from the city.
'We arc not actuated by any dogree of
animosity In this proceeding," said one
of the Councllmen last night. In describ
ing the situation; "but there has been
considerable comment recently relative to
Captain Bruin's citizenship and various
other vital features affecting his right to
hold office under the previsions of the
municipal civil service rules, and we
merely propose to s!ft the matter to the
bottom along those linen. If he can
show a clean bill of lading, all well and
good; otherwise he cannot expect to re
ceive any .consideration from the city.
and the ways and means committee will
hold up his salary until everything Is
satisfactorily adjusted."
Reflects Views of Councllmen.
The opinion just quoted seems to re
flect the views of nearly all the Council
men, none of whom appear to cherish
any personal Ill-feeling towards Captain
Bruin. Under the charter they are per
mitted to Investigate any city official or
municipal employe, and while not actu
ally empowered to discharge persons
found guilty, can hold up salaries and
otherwise call attention to official dere
lictions, so that It .would be Incumbent
upon the Mayor to give proper recog
nition to their action.
Lee Makes Appeal.
John A. Lee. who was removed from
the position of patrohnan by order of the
Police Commissioners, on charges of
neglect of duty In visiting a saloon on
his beat after closing hours, yesterday
filed a demand for a hearing with the
Civil Service Commission, setting forth
the following statement of facts:
