The meeting OF the Indianapolis e. ial
Suffrage Society ON last Monday was one of
peculiar interest. 1t was in the nature OF an
experience meeting. only that very little
bar of ladies gave their individual reasons
tor wanting to vote. The general expr sssion
indicated careful study of the poll tical po-
sition OF women, earnest thought and broad
views. There was no arrangement of the
'yrsnt man, no rehersing OF personal griev-
the ballot would be used by women. Women
are coming to regard the ballot as something
more than an agency to carry specified meas
ures, and to see that no enc has q right to
question what they will do with il. The
chief and strongest reasons why women want
the ballot as expressed by this representative
aseemblage OF refined and intelligent ladies,
OF whom many are prominent IN social aud
phiiantbropic circles, are:
First, because it belongs to them, the
means through which the inherent right of
se'f-government IL exercised, and a Sd by
virtue OF the spirit and fundamental psinci-
pIss of our republican institutions.
second, Because men and women repre-
sent duality of forces distinct aud differ
eDt, two forces whose union throughout ali
nature and all civilization are essential 10
evolution
Third, Because women need the ballot as
means OF protection, education and growth.
1Basmuch as political privileges, RESPONSE
billiy and and power have given the average
American man q finer higher develop
ment than that possessed by the average
man Of any other nation, it is held that the
same privileges, responsibility and power
would develop stronger, broader type of
vomsnfood.
