Speakers for the opponents declar ed working women were opposed to the franchise because they would lose more than they would gain. This was in answer to the statement ot the suffragists that the working wo man needed the franchise and was strongly in favor of it. It was contended that the suffrage movement was sporadic in its nature, and .that the ballot was not wanted by as many women as the suffragists declare. It was denied that the sul fragis: movement had grown to eucn proportions as to demand a house committee., Suffragist sympathizers had been warned by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president; of their association, to re main away from the hearing room and give their undivided attention to the business of the suffrage con vention, to which they had been sent -las delegate. - - - ,' 1 outside the jails were ..ttacked by a hostile crowd and several people were hurt in the struggle.
