PRESIDENT, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Sir, the women’s political union, of New Haven, protest the deportation of Mrs. Pankhurst and ask for her the same justice which America has ever accorded to male political offenders. America opened wide her doors and gave richly of her sympathy and support to the leaders who sought home rule for oppressed Ireland. These men will rebel against the English government that they will not stop at Ellis Island. Mrs. Pankhurst is the most brilliant and remarkable rebel ever known in the history of human race. She is leading a bloodless revolution which will be more fare reaching in its effects

On England’s history than was our revolution in 1776. She and some of her followers have been tortured nigh unto death yet with dauntless spirit they stand by their flag they have not shed one drop of human blood although some of their numbers have given their lives for the cause. Our hearts go out in pity and sympathy to English women because we believe that only great oppression could bring forth such great endurance we ask justice for Mrs. Pankhurst, who comes not to essay the hopeless task of insighting American women to militancy, but to seek sympathy on support for her cause. Let it not go down in the pages of history that America closed her doors to one who is struggling for the cause of liberty.
The women’s political union of New Haven,
Alice M. Elrich, President.
