Borden Will Not Help Suffragets
London August 29 Canadian Prime Minister Robert L. Borden told delegates of the Women's Social and Political Union that he has no power to introduce a general women’s suffrage measure in Canada and would not be swayed by militant methods. Miss Barratt presented the delegation and asked if Borden would move to enfranchise women when he returns to the dominion. She said the union would advise immigrants to go to Australia and New Zealand, depending on his response and potentially influence militant action in Canada. Borden stated the franchise issue rests with provincial legislatures and the dominion parliament has no authority to pass such laws.
