The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and the London

Society for Women's Suffrage also held a meeting in London on Tuesday, which was supported by a large number of Associations and Societies in sympathy with the movement. Lady Frances Balfour presided. Mrs. Henry Fawcett, who was the principal speaker, declared that they would not be satisfied with a barren second reading. In declaring that the House of Commons ought to have an opportunity to deal effectively with the question Mr. Asquith had weighed his words and had left the door ajar. It was a heavy door, but they must throw themselves against it, and if they were courageous and firm, they had a good prospect of success this Session.
