= There ts d. woman In Joliet with few EN-.
phatic ideas on the topics. which sgitate the
bogoms Of. . portion OF her sex, and she talks In
this way: Just don't believe In these new wo'
men notions. have raised six 'ooys-four OF
them veto now, and the others will soon be old
enough. Then wilt have six votes. Now these
good-for-nething women who have fooled their
time away, and never raised single boy, come
around and want every woman te vote for her.
SELF I don't believe in such nonsense. Ihave
raised my six boys, and am going to have every
one vote for me. Those women who go lecturlng
around the country instead Of raising boys, have
no business to vote anyway. And when they say
that they are just as good as1 am, aud have
rtrnt to vote themselves, il they have no boys to
do 40 for tnsm Is not true II they are as smart
ss am, why did they not raise some boys to vote
for them, toll you, do not Intend to be cheated
ont of nv ak votes by any such good-for nothing
folks. Iruess that the world would come 70 a
pretty pass, In mighty short tlme II the women en-
all took to goin' around leeturing on Wimm'n
rights instead Of raising boys"
