Ironclad ban on suffrage propaganda was coincident with the announcement from inauguraj headquarters that womens organisations generally would be welcomed to take part In the parade as a recognition of womans advance In national affairs but that their participation would be upon the same basis as other clubs and organization Permits to march will carry rigid prohibitions against propaganda of every Bort inaugural leaders asserted The Inaugural committees announcement said All paraders will escort and honor the chief executive and will be in line for that purpose alone Any scheme to attract

time in history that women have taken a conspicuous part In inaugural processions They will be assigned to positions In the parade with their respective States according to the committees plans

with a refusal to permit this man to take another month from his work As to keeping in touch with Congress the statement contains this suggestion If it is necessary for the printers to have a
