EDIToR Kansas PArRIoT: The adyo-
Gates OF . Manhood Suffrage are trying
to turn the world upside down because,
as they say Free lovers. -SpirituaIisis
and iufdels are in favor OF female .suf
trage." The idea that female suffrage is
wrong because these classes of persons
favor II! We never hear a speech nor see
a written article from any of them but
what We hear this. II is one of their
strong arguments. Il may be good ar
gument. We shall see. Keep your f.
ger on the idea while we proceed to show
one class of persons who are in favor Of
manhood suffrage against our women.
At meeting of German citizens III

our anti meetings cannot have such dig

citizens of Douglas county, on Saturday.
the 4th inst, for the purpose of eleclug
! delegates to the Convention to be held at
Topeka, on the Esd of Septem Der. for the
purpose of a consolidation against female
suffrage, tSaaday. and temperance idws,'".
What consolidation" Let every body
think of it. ....-.s -si
How very appropriately have these men
Fclassed female suffrage with Sunday aud
temperance laws, The Germans are phi
| losophers. They understand the laws of
affinity. Why do the Germans oppose
female suffrage? Because our CHRISTIAN
women are in favor of, aud wolld forever
vote to maintain the sanctity of the Chris
tian Sabbath. Because they would vote
solidly against whisky. and beer shops.
The Germans, Il speak Of that class rep
resented in the above named meeting. J
have ever opposed our Sunday and tenn
perance laws. They seek to turn our
now quiet Sunday into day of drunken
ness aud lewdness. They denounce tenn
perance laws as being '''lyrannical." and
Sunday laws as "lanatical." And they
are now consolidating for the purpose of
warning against ''female suff age, Sunday
and temperance laws" They know that.
If our, women get vote that their long
cherished object of making Sunday day
of drunkenness, and converting our fair
country into "beer garden" the fit nnr
sery of al kinds of vice, will be at an
end Any one, even a blind man, can
see why those German Turner's oppose fe.
male suffrage.
sJ;Where are your infdels? These Ger
mans can beat the world on iL6deiity
Free lovers and Spiritualists are very
saints in comparison. The truth of the
matter is they seek to uproot our present
system of morals. If Free lovers ignore
the marriage relation, these Germans
would make debsucbees of our sons and
slaves Of our daughters. They are the
especial champions of what they call ''per-
sonal lIberty!3' soft 1913 notaaa= aI5
Now lOok here, We christian fathers and
brothers WHO oppose female suffrage, are

Aud there is great danger OF this. They
are growing stronger every year. Lei
every man who fsyoTs christian morals
