Not Believe That All Women Wat'

WOMEN DECLARE THAT
DELEGATES DIDNT DO IT
Action Gave the "Cause" Werse Set
back It Has Received In Many a
Day Taft Says All Women Ds
Net Want Ballet.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 15.
Suffragists and others interested in
their movement todar agree that hiss
ing President Taft last night whoa ha
addressed tho convention ot the Na
tional Woman Suffrage association Is
one of the worst set-backs the "cause"
has received In many a day.
Dr. Anna Shaw, an officer of the
association, today declares that the
hissing was done by outsiders and
that the delegates took no part In It.
At any rate, the Incident has open
ed unpleasantly tho convention, aud
it Is being discussed on all aides to
day. Tho mark of disfavor greeted the
president when ho declared that If
suffragette should be granted it
would be exorcised by tho "least desir
able element." Taft declared that
not all women were Interested la the
movement, and not all ot them de
sired the ballot.
Then the hissing started, and It
took somo tlmo for the presiding of
ficer, Mrs. Rachol Foster Avery, to
restore order so that tho address
might contluue.
Although the hall -was quieted and
the president finished his address, the
affair has left an unfavorable impres
sion. It Is expected that the dele
gates themselves will take official no
tice of It and that they will decry the
occurrence.
The affair, howover, In spite of the
statement of Mrs. Shaw, and others
connected with the association that
the hissing was tho work ot outsid
ers, has reacted against the movement
anad given those who oppose the
movement hero a chance for criticism,
which they havo been quplck to solze
upon. The mark of disrespect to the
chief executive Is tho subject of more
discussion than any other feature of
the convention.
