Demos Scored l>v Mrs. Upton ^ onian Loader of Rcpuhlioan National Committee Issues Hot Reply to Charges. Washington." May 2S.—Democratic National Chairman Hull's recent (♦statement criticizing the treatment accorded republican women by the re publican national committee, drew a sharp retore yesterday front Mrs. Har riet Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the republican national executive com mittee. Chairman Hull attacked the repub lican party chiefly for its failure to recognize the rights of republican w’oinen to positions of leadership in the party and full membership on the national committee. This state ment, Mrs. Upton says, “invites a cop’.parison of the respective records of the republican , and democratic parties In their treatment of wom en.” Defeated Suffrage. She continues: "In view of the written record, Chairman Hull's statement was in discreet. "Fi- e times between 1913 and 1919, the democratic party, in control of congress, defeated the proposal intro nueed hy republican minority leaders in congress to give women full citizen ship under tlie federal constitution. Kach time the suffrage amendment reached the state of a record vote in the house of representatives, Demo cratic National Chairman Hull, then a member of the house, representing his district in Tennessee, recorded himself against giving women their equal rights as citizens. In tills ho was in perfect accord with the demo cratic majority in the house, i "The republicans carried both branches of congress in the 1918 elec tions. The newly elected republican congress was convened in special session, May 19, 1919. The first act of the republican congress after or ganization was the introduction and passage by the house of the equal suffrage amendment. Draws Striking Contrast. The date of its passage was May 21, 1919, only two days after the re publican congress assembled. Quite a contrast to the six years of opposi tion to it and defeat of it by demo cratic congresses. • "Chairman Hull, still a member of the house from a district of Tennes see, was one of the opponents of equal rights for women, even when it was perfectly apparent that the amendment would be passed by the republican congress. He was one of 90 who stood out on the final roll call against giving women any voice under the federal constitution in the affairs of the American government. “In view of this record, the real friends of equal rights for women do not regard the chairman of the demo cratic national committee as a well chosen spokesman to plead the cause of women."
