the recent election, and was overwhel-
mingly defeated II seems that men are
not yet willing to grant women the right
to vote, and this unwillingness must be
the result of fear. They. fear If woman
gets the franchise she will vote to dis
franchise the men, and as there are more
women than men it would be easy to do.
Having thus robbed mem of the right
of suffrage she would fill all the offices
