Harding signals hearing for opponents of woman suffrage
At Washington on July 15 Senator Harding told the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage he would readily hear opponents.

Mrs Mary E Kilbreth charged discrimination at the Democratic convention and alleged Senator Glass did not grant the anti suffrage delegation a hearing before his platform committee while other groups were heard.
