THE SUFFRAGETTE MOVEMENT.
DEPUTATION TO THE MINISTER
OF WAR
MR HALDANE PERSONALLY
FAVOURABLE,
Received November 22, 8.25 a.m LONDON, November 21.
A deputation of suffragettes interviewed the Hon. R. B, Haldane, Secretary of State for War, at Sheffield.
He explained that personally he favoured extension of the franchise to women, but refused to promise that the subject would be mentioned in the King's speech at the opening of Parliament. He characterised the suffragettes' interruptions at political meetings as a deplorable piece of folly. Many surffagettes have been ejected from his meetings.
