LONERGAN SUSPICIOUS OF THMIGRANT BAN (Continued from First Page) bined to make the affair the most successful in the history of the organi- zation. The fact that it was the 13th annual banquet had no effect, super- stition to the contrary. Miss Esther MecCabe, chairman of | the general committee, opened the yprogram by introducing as toastmis- tress Mrs, William T. Squire. Grace was said by Rev, Father Clab- by. A telegram was read from Mrs. Anna E. Kay, national advocate, €X- pressing regret at her inability to be present. Guests who attended were Mrs. May Booth of New Haven, na- tional regent; Rev. Father abby ongressman lLonergan. ather Clabby, introduced as tLe first speaker, complimented the organization on its sclection of 2 ho- tel, saying that its judgment indicat- ed the belief of the members that “the hest is none too good.” e said the same sentiment should animate the members in their daily rclations with each other and with their friends, He referred to the motto printed on the menu cover—“lnity, Charity, Friendshi; and 4 it would be an excellent standard by which to regulate daily conduct. Referring to equal suftrage, he sald: “You women should take an in- terest in issues before the public. In other years, a womap was Iook_od 1pon as a good woman if she remain- cd at home and minded her own busi- ness. But time has wrought a change.
