MRS. PANKHURST IN CHICAGO

Militant Suffragette Leader Lectures Under Auspices of Men’s Club. Chicago, Nov. 26. —Mrs. Emmelino Pmkhurst, most militant of the fighting suffragettes of England and under parole, as the result of her militancy, lectured in this city. She spoke under the auspices of the Chicago Men’s Suffrage league. '*/ Creating some surprise amofig the euter ring of Chicago suffragists came the decision to appoint a committee to meet the English suffragette. When it was first announced that Mrs. Pankhurst would speak here there was great doubt as to whether It would be proper to give even this figurative support to the militant party.
