Mild Militancy. The move was acknowledged to be & step in the policy of mild militancy, which began with the demonstration in the house gallery on December 6, when a party of suffragists unfurled a votes for women banner while the president was making his opening address. “Silant Sentinel” Campaign. What the White House authorities will do about the pickets the suf- fragists intend to leave is awaited. Aft- cr the women had their audience to- day they returned to headquarters of the Congressional Union, formed their new plans and held a meeting piedg- ing $3,000 for the “silent Sentinel” cam- paign. President Received Party Headed by Miss Maud Younger and | Mrs. Sara Bard Field, 300 suffragists from the Congressional Union went to see the president, ostensibly to pre- sent memorials on the death of Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain. Because of the affair in the house gailery in De- cembex, there was some difficulty in rranging the audience, but the presi- dent consenfed to receive the women. When they made it the occasion to re- { new their pleas that he support the rage amendment, the president ex- his surprise, reminded _ the men cf the party that he had not i been opprised of their full purpose and ! was not prepared to say any more than | he believed personally in their cause, but as the leader of his party, could not commit it to action it had not en- dorsed. The president added he could not understand why women failed to realize that the democratic party had done more for suffrage than the re- publicans. Wilson Not Prepared. “I had not been apprised that you were coming here to muke any repre- sentations or would issue an appea! to me,” said the president 1 had been resolutions w v remarkable woman use has lost.. I, therefore. not prepared to say anvthing further than I have sad on previous occasions of thid sort. 1 do not need to tell you where my own convictions and my own personal purpose lie and T need not tell vou by what circumsgriptions I am tyund as the leader of a party. As the lead- ed of a party my commands come Zrom the nd not from private per- sonal convictions. My personal action as a citizen, of course, comes from no source but my own convictions and therefore by position has been sn fre- quently defined and I hope So can- didly defined and it_is so impossible for me until the orders of my party are changed, to do anything other than I am doing as a party leader, that I think nothing more is necessary to be said. “I do want to say this: I do not see how anybody can fail to observe from the utterances of the last campaign that the democratic party is more in- clined than the opposite party to as- sist in this great cause and it has been a matter of surprise to me, and a mat- ter of very deep regret that so many of those who were heart and soul for this cause seemed so greatly to mis- understand and misinterpret the atti- tude of parties. Because in this coun- try as in every other self-goverring country, it is only through the instru- mentality of parties that things can be accomplished. They are not ac- complished by the Individual voice bu by concerted action, and that action must come only as fast as you can concert it. I have done my best and shall continue to do my best to con- cert it in the interest of a cause in which I personally believe.” PUTNAM (Continued from Page Eight) is to be located this year, as a repre- sentative of the Wiley-Bickford Sweet company of Hartford and Worcester.
