WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE.
——* ' HOW TO SUCCEED. BY TELEGEAFH —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COrYMGHT. London, October . 23. In the course of his romarks at Dunfermlino, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman advisod tho "suffragettes" that if they' pestered people persistently they would probably win sooner than many expected.
Apparently, when lie uses the word "pester," the Prime Minister means something loss militant than the late series of attacks on Parliament, fights with police, and law. court processions.' In fact, those woro tho very things he advised the "suffragettes" to discontinue, on tho occasion when two of thorn forced an impromptu interview with liiin on a train in France, l'crhaps "pestering" means persistent button-holing of the kind typified ,in this incident. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman personally supports women s suffrage, but tho 'Government is divided about it, consequently, when a private member introduced a Women's Suffrage Bill in the Houso of Commons, tho f pectacle was witnessed of- the Prime Minister being among the defeated minority; The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Asquith,' W among tho best-hated of tko "suffragettes'" opponents. ■ '
