Errata. The following remarks of Mr..
Pratt on the bill relating to womans suf-
frage, were Inadvertently omitted from
yesterdays report.
| Mr. Pratt of Turner said he was opposed
| 10 the enactment of such law as this n
this time, because this question has received
but little serious consideration by the State
at large. 1t should not become law until
il has received the careful consideration and
assent not only of this Legislature but o.!
the State of Maine in general. 1t involves
a great change. | believe that the womanl,
woman does not desire this privilege. II
She does, am perfectly willing that she
| should have it. do not believe she asks
for it. The ilea is odious and dlstastetul
to some women. The social differences OF
Ien and women arise from natural causes
and should not be changed 1t is a
question whether, if granted this
right, they would lead us up,
as We should pull them down. Il We give
them municipal suffrage why not give them
universal suffrage: WHY this distinction:
| AN perfectly willing that the women have
this privilege when become convinced
that they dcsir" it and that it is acceptable
| to them, and when it has been more gencr-
ally AMI fully discussed AMI when they
come here expressing a willingness for this
| privilege. t'ntll then shall most emph 1t
really vote against il.
