WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
MR LLOYD 'CEORCE DEPUTATION ISED.
PEELING AGAINST THE FRANCHISE.
(Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, November 8.
The Right Hon. D. Lloyd George, replying to a woman's suffrage deputation, said his views were unchanged, but the feeling against women's suffrage had grown inside and outside of Parliament, owing ,to the militants' criminal tactics. So long as these continued, he said, women would never get a vote. He added that supposing half the Cabinet resigned, every great question for which the Xiberals nad been working all their lives would be wrecked. The militant outrages by the suffragettes had alienated more women than men. Two-thirds of the Liberals favoured the granting ol' the suffrage, and his hearers had to convert the other third: 4 Anyone would imagine that it was possible to convert these by throwing pepper in to the eyes of a cherished leader. He voted l for the Bill in all its stages. If he was unable to get the he would' vote for the smaller measure.. • . ,
