SENATOR WADSWORTH’S REGIMENT IS FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY ABROAD. SENATOR WADSWORTH LEFT HIS REGIMENT AND IS FIGHTING AGAINST DEMOCRACY IN THE SENATE. SENATOR WADSWORTH COULD SERVE HIS COUNTRY BETTER BY FIGHTING WITH HIS REGIMENT ABROAD THAN BY FIGHTING WOMEN. Later appeared another banner, proclaiming the case of Senator Shields: SENATOR SHIELDS TOLD THE PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE HE WOULD SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT’S POLICIES. THE ONLY TIME THE PRESIDENT WENT TO THE SENATE TO ASK ITS SUPPORT, SENATOR SHIELDS VOTED AGAINST HIM. DOES TENNESSEE BACK THE PRESIDENT’S WAR PROGRAM OR SENATOR SHIELDS? These banners were taken up by the newspapers of the Senators’ States and focussed unfavorable attention upon them. By this time, the Capitol police had found that their system of arresting and detaining what threatened to prove an inexhaustible army of Suffragists was futile. So now they reverted to their policy of 1917. They stood aside and let the crowd worry the Suffragists. Mainly, however, these were small boys, who seized the banners and dragged them through the streets. On October 23 appeared: GERMANY HAS ESTABLISHED “EQUAL, UNIVERSAL, SECRET, DIRECT FRANCHISE.” THE SENATE HAS DENIED EQUAL UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE TO AMERICA. WHICH IS MORE OF A DEMOCRACY, GERMANY OR AMERICA? The small boys, generally office boys, were allowed to tear up this banner too. * * * * * On October 24, Julia Emory and Virginia Arnold succeeded in getting to the top of the Capitol steps, unseen by the police who were grouped on the sidewalk. Their banner said: WE CONDEMN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DEFEATED SUFFRAGE. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS PLACED AMERICA BEHIND GERMANY AS A DEMOCRACY, IF GERMANY HAS, AS SHE SAYS, ESTABLISHED EQUAL, UNIVERSAL, SECRET, DIRECT FRANCHISE. The instant they caught sight of this banner, the policemen took the two girls to the guard room, where they held them, until half-past seven that evening. On October 25, as the Senate was not in session, the pickets returned to the Office Building, where hitherto they had been unmolested. There were four of them, and they carried the Great Demand banner. They were arrested, and held until six o’clock. They went back to the Capitol at eight in the evening, and were again arrested, and held until eleven o’clock. Friends or newspaper men, calling at the Capitol, could get no information about them. On various pretexts, the telephone answered nothing. These women were Matilda Young; Elizabeth Kalb; Julia Emory; Virginia Arnold.
