RIFT. IN SUFFRAGE RANKS LAID BARE
BY "DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE
99
Letters Between New York Society and Congressional Union, Lively With Retorts Courteous, Lead to Differences
That Are Expected to Be Brought to Head at Convention in September.
THE rift between the National
Association for Woman Suf
frage, the New York Suffrage
Society, which Is operating under
the . name of the Empire State
Campaign- Committee to obtain an
equal sffrage amendment to the
New York State constitution, and the
Congressional Union for Woman Suf
frage is laid bare In- correspondence
between Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. of
the Empire Campaign Committee, and
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Con
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage.
Copies of this correspondence have
been sent broadcast by the Congres
sional Union, for the purpose of set
ting its members right on the contro
versy and to put a different light on
the alleged "heckling" of President
Wilson by members of the union. Copies
of the letters have been received by
Mrs. L, W. Therkelsen. of Portland, a
member of the Congressisonal Union.
Opinion Difference Explained.
The letters, which display a certain
finesse of correspondence and are lively
with retorts courteous, reveal the Inter
esting Inside details of the rtft. The
difficulties promise to be brought to
some kind of a head at the convention
of the Congressional Union, which is
to be held in San Francisco September
14. IS and 16. the. purpose of which Is
to mature plans for definite political
action on the part of woman voters In
support of a National suffrage amend
ment. The Congressional Union is
working, especially for the passage of
the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
The Congressional Union, in its let
ters to Mrs. Catt and to others, make
it clear that they believe great pres
sure can be brought to bear In the
states where suffrage exists now and
where It is imminent, because of thai
Influence it would have on members of
Congress now In office. It Is on this
theory. Mrs. Therkelsen explains, that
the Congressslonal Union Is mo persis
tent In Its work and la the point to
which the other suffrage societies are
blind for the moment.
Empire Committee Sends Protest.
The "diplomatic correspondence" be
tween Mrs. Catt. of the Empire State
Campaign Committee, and Miss Paul
began In April this year and it reached
a critical stae a few weeks ago. when
In public sessions the suffragists opened
fire on the unionists. In Mrs. Catt s
first letter to the Congressional Union
chairman. Miss Paul. Mrs. Catt wrote:
"I have been asked by motion of the
Empire State Campaign Committee to
write to you. expressing their protest
against the character of the work be
ing done in this state by the Congres
sional Union. The reason for the mo
tion was the complaint of two of our
district chairmen that your agents
were handicapping their local cam
paign by the attempt to call off their
workers with the argument that New
York had no chance and that the Fed
eral route was the only one which can
lead to victory."
Mrs. Catt set forth reasons why the
New York committee should be al
lowed to work In Its own territory,
pointing out that New York had hopes
of having a "suffrage" . Legislature
arguing that the Federal campaign of
the union befogged the campaign.
Plea to Withdraw Made.
"In view of this I ask you to with
draw your efforts at organisation In
New York until the campaign Is over,
pleaded Mrs. Catt, after citing other
reasons, which. In her mind, should
preclude the union's programme's fur
ther execution. She concluded her
letter as follows:
"At this time you may connect with
disgruntled suffragists here and there,
but you are not likely to command the
adherence of the really efficient one..
. . There Is a rift between the
National Association (for Woman
Suffrage) and the Congressslonal
Union over the Federal amendment.
The National has agreed to let us
alone during this campaign. Will you
not do the same?"
Miss Paul's answer gave Mrs. Catt
to understand that she had .no doubt
been misinformed and called attention
to the fact that Mrs. O. H. P.'Ilelmont
as one of the "Inefficient" suffragists.
had given the use of her home in New
York for union work and said that
the New York headquarters are being
used in New York, not In furtherance
of the campaign of the union, but as a
central direction agency for all work.
Brevity Marks Reply.
Miss Paul concludes:
"I need hardly tell you that we are
deeply Interested In the success of the
New York campaign and wish It sue
cess as ardently even as you do. As
far as I can Judee from your letter
there Is no difference between us as to
the real course of action which the Con
gressional Union should pursue In the
campaign states."
To which letter Mrs. Catt replied
briefly In toto. as follows:
"I hereby acknowledge receipt of
your letter and shall trust In your
promise that New York Is to have a
free field to try Its chances with the
electorate of the state.
Soon after, however, the Congres
sional Union envoys made an attempt to
present a letter to President Wilson on
This
out having my letter before you. The
only letter I have written to you stat
ed that while we were planning to
hold our convention and start our or
ganization in every state, we would
not hold such convention or be;: In
such organization work In any of the
campaign stHles until the close of the
campaigns. . . . The deputation to
Senator O'Gorman of which you speak
as having ben explicitly excluded from
the 'compact' was not even mentioned
In my letter. . . . Our statement
was merely that we would not hold
our New York convention and .tart
formal organization in New York until
the close of the referendum campaign.
This 'compact- has not been broken."
Mij Paul then explains the
O'Gormsn deputation episode and also
states the facts in connection with the
socalled "heckling" of the President.
which she pictured as follows:
"iou speak of an attempted 'attack'
by our representatives upon the Presi
dent in Philadelphia, which was the
cause, you say. of one newspaper with
drawing its editorial support of suf
frage. The phrase 'attempted attack
is misleading.
Promlnet Women Ask Hearing.
The incident so described was as
follows:
A group of Pennsylvania women.
Including nearly all the Philadelphia
leaders in the Pennsylvania referen
dum campaign (the president, vice-
president, recording secretary, execu
tive secretary and treasurer or the
Philadelphia Euqual Franchise Society;
the president of the Home School
League, and the president of the Jew
ish Council of Women, for example.
sent two of their members to Washing
ton to ask the President to grant an
audience to suffragists while he was In
Philadelphia welcoming 4000 newly-
naturalized citizens. The women who
went to Washington to arrange the In
terview watted in Washington three
days for an answer from the President.
He Anally sent a message refusing the
Interview In Philadelphia and the dep
utatlon. therefore, did not wait upon
him.
Letter 'ot Received.
"Since none of the members of the
deputation in Philadelphia at the tlrue.
made any attempt to see the President,
after he declined to meet them. It is
Impossible to understand how you en
speak of an "attempted att.ick. and It
seems to me you could easily win back
the support of the paper In question
by sending the editor an accurate
statement of what occurred. Certainly
there should be great hope of winning
him back if his defection is due to
misinformation.
In regard to tha so-called 'heckling'
of the President In New York I think
that again you must be Informed as to
the facta." Miss Paul in detail ex
plains what happened and that Instead
of "heckling" the President, the Union
women merely approached him as he
was emerging from luncheon at the
hotel and handed him a letter which he
failed to receive.
President Net Detained.
This Is described as follows:
face to face with the President one of
them (the women) sld: "Mr. Tretd
der.t. we have a letter from New Yirk
suffragists which wc dcMre should be
.icllvered to you.' or words to this ef
fect. When the President passed on
without taking (ho letter th.- .--uffra-Sl.-t.s
made no attempt to dct.iin him
nd did not address him furtlnr. At
the wharf later they found the Presi
dent's stenographer, who promised to
deliver the letter to the Pre.-idtnt.
."Can this Incident be property de
scribed s 'heckling'?"
The frequent reference to "anti
Democratlc propaganda of the Con
gresslon.il Union Miss Paul disposes
of In this wise:
"You tate further. A National anti
Democrstic campaign st this time would
be exceedingly bad for our state work
in New York.
Effect n Party Seen.
"This ltement suKctets a situation
which does not exlft. There is no
"anti-Democratic campaign in progress
at this time. Lat Autumn tlie Con
cre!lonal Union did appeal to thu
women In the suffraue states, to hold
the Democratic party responslMe for
the position It had taken, as a party,
hostile to the Federal amendment- We
believe that this rl-f tion work achieved
its end. It undoubtedly made the Na
tional suffrage amendment an issue for
the first time In the election In all
states where women rote Moreover,
at the rloi-e of the election the Herno
rratic party at onre withdrew Its
lotig-oontinued oi'po.-ilion to allowing
the .uffr;ice mcjiiMire to come to a v.t
of the Houe. Whether we were richt
or wrong in our course la5t Sit-mmer
belongs to the past a:id not to tha
present."
Miss Paul Rom Into detail as to tha
merits of the organization and add;:
"Thus, while you are conscientiously
of the opinion that the Congressional
Urlon work Is a ni!take ... is It
not obvious that other suffragists en
gaged In your own campaign believe
equally earnestly that this work helps
the campaicn of the state? Is it not
the cae that you are voicing the
opinion of "some" New York women as
against the opinion of 'other' New
York women, and not the opinion of
New York women as against thst of
outsiders?"
One Sorlety Declared Enough.
Miss Taul also came Into possession
of a letter which Mrs. Cntt wrote.
April 19. to Mrs. Harriett Taylor Up
ton, president of the Ohio Woman Suf-'
frage Association, taking to task the
Ohio Suffrage Association Board for
inviting "both Congressional Women
and National Association vromen" to
enter Ohio and carry on their cam
paign. Mrs. Catt wrote: "I wonder if
the board has lost Its senses? It seems
to me that any suffragist . ought
to know that strength lies in unity. If
I were In your place (as president) t
would have said to that committee I
insist upon your fortifying the State
of Ohio against the Conpressional
Union. One National society in the
state Is enough, but If you want to
have both you will have to get along
without me.
"Of course it means that you will
have two organizations In your state,
each one working In its own way for
Federal legislation and each one ac
cusing the other of trickiness. unfair
ness and all that sort of thing, etc
"The war has knocked the 'militant
movement into a cocked hat and the
'non-mllltanf movement Is split over
the question of peace. What will
happen when the war Is over God only
knows."
Miss Paul politely takes Mrs. Catt
to task for her utterances to Mrs.
Upton.
Name of Leaders "nnmittrd.
The Congressional Union in making
public the letters also makes public a
list of women who are identified and
in sympathy with the Congressional
Union work to discount Mrs. Catt s in
ference that Union women are of no
consequence In the suffrace movement.
This list includes: Mrs. Itobcrt Adam

Fire Commissioner: Mrs. Howard
