There were gains in every county but only 14 were carried, where there had been 24 in 1912. That the liquor interests and the anti-suffragists worked together was clearly established.
If anything could add to the educative efficiency of the new League, it is Mrs. Ward's scrupulousness in limiting it exclusively to Anti-Suffragists. There was a time in England when all the laws were made and executed by the King. Later he appointed certain favorites who acted for him, and these were paid honors and emoluments accordingly.
The bill was not reported from the committee for weeks and when at last brought before the House in August it was turned over to a Select Committee of five, three of them pronounced anti-suffragists, and was not heard of again. At the present time South Africa has the distinction of being the only English-speaking nation that has not enfranchised its women.
Also, for the first time in the history of any campaign, the anti-suffragists had organized against us. Portland held a small body of women with antisuffrage sentiments, and there were others in the state who formed themselves into an anti-suffrage society and carried on a more or less active warfare.
Once more, she knew exactly and indisputably what is right and what is wrong. As if emerging from a mist, the old foes of the public good loomed ahead of her capitalists, newspaper proprietors, anti-suffragists, and, in some ways most pernicious of all, the masses who take no interest one way or another among whom, for the time being, she certainly discerned the features of Ralph Denham.
Then the anti-suffragists were given time, and their hearing began the following day, continued throughout that day and during the morning of the next day, when our National Association was given an opportunity for rebuttal argument in the afternoon. It was the longest hearing in the history of the suffrage movement, and one of the most important.
"But if the anti-suffrage movement is growing as we have been told, can't the anti-suffragists overcome those tendencies?" asked an old lady on the platform.
Misguided, well-meaning enthusiasts like you can do more harm to our cause than all the anti-suffragists in this world!" With her genial, disarming smile, E. Eliot rose and departed. She chuckled all the way back to her rooms over the idea of Remington's bride wanting to take the field with the enemies of her wedded lord. "Women, women! God bless us, but we're funny!" mused E. Eliot.
The favorite argument of the "antis" was answered for all time. At the very end of the campaign the anti-suffragists began to advertise extensively in the subway and on the elevated roads in New York City but the firm that controlled this space refused to accept any advertising from the suffragists. Woman's wit, however, was equal to the emergency.
