Sheet published by Votes for Women headed 'What Liberal Statesmen say about Militant Action' Gives quotations from John Bright, WE Gladstone, Herbert Gladstone and Lord Morley, all stressing that action, even violent action, is sometimes necessary to redress grievances. Points out divergence between these statements of principle by Liberal statesmen and Liberal practice 'as exhibited in the attitude of the present Government towards the women who are at the present agitating for he franchise'.
