Even so, the hall was refused on the ground that this was "propaganda." Keeping out "propaganda" was attempted in 1911 by the exclusion of Mrs. Pankhurst. Whatever the merits or demerits of Mrs. Pankhurst's opinions might be, this policy was seen to be objectionable, and was apparently abandoned--witness the suffrage speaker's noted move. I am not aware that it has been revived till the Skeffington case...

Militancy, however, will not be in order today as it was two years ago when Mrs. Pankhurst created a storm centre in Brattle Hall. People went to hear Mrs. Pankhurst more from curosity than interest; those who go to hear Miss Todd tonight will reverse these motives.

...often condemned, yet these have been the only means of securing their rights left open to them. Although obliged at times to use forcible methods, it is a significant fact that no human being has ever been injured in their agitations except possibly the suffragettes themselves.
