Byrd Defends Against Davis Canard About Suffrage Editorial
Richmond July 29 Senator H F Byrd issued a statement denying a Southern Planter claim that the Winchester Star published an editorial on woman suffrage. He says the March 9 1918 piece was a letter from Miss Kate McVicar using pen name Nemo and not an editorial by him. He denounces Davis and asserts the charge insults living and deceased ladies and misrepresents the Star article. He calls the claim a vicious eleventh hour attack and underhand tactic.
