THE ALBERT HALL ANTI-SUFFRAGE MEETING.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIE,—Lord Cromer and the Committee of this League would be greatly indebted if you would make known through the columns of the Spectator the following particulars of the Anti-Suffragist Demonstration which will be hold at the Royal Albert Hall at 8 p.m. on February 28th next. The Earl of Cromer will preside, and the speakers will be : Miss Violet Markham, the Lord Chan- Cellor, Lord Curzon, Mr. Lewis Harcourt, M.P., and Mr. F. E, Smith, M.P. The following re'solution will be proposed by Lord Loreburn :— • - "That the extension of the Parliamentary franchise to women would be hostile to their own welfare and the welfare of the State, and that a change so momentous and so incalculable in its effects, both socially and politically, ought not to be entertained except upon a clear and deliberately expressed demand by the electorate." Already over 160 members of both the great political parties in both Houses of Parliament and many inen and women distin- guished in other walks in life have signified their intention of appearing on the platform.
Electors who hold anti-suffrage views can obtain tickets on ap- plication, in writing, to the Central Office of the National League for Opposing Woman Suffrage, Caxton House, Westminster. All applications for tickets should reach the Central Office, Caxton House, Westminster, without delay.
