nent OF woman suffrage. She agreed that
eir. Nelson was useful man and on the
right side of most public questions, but in
her eyes there was no issue worth consid-
Grafton beside equal suffrage, and that she
would therefore prefer a PETER or a Quay
or Croker II they CHANGED to be on her
the opposite side. This Minnesota delegate
is doubtless an extremist, but certainly
many OF her associates announce a purpose
which amounts to the same thing. Mrs.
Charlotte NJ. Vale, OK Denver, Col, who was
recently in Washington, related that at a
when the information was given out that
certain woman teacher in one of the public
schools had given an opinion unfavOrable
to woman suffrage, one of the women pres
ent thereupon spoke out: Il think we
ought TO get such women as that out of our
public schools" and the sentiment was APP
parently generally approved.
If the spirit thus illustrated should to any
considerable extent prevail in the States
be obviously impossible for anybody not
woman euffragist to receive their electoral
votes In a presidential contest. In fact,
voters so regarded the issue, il would be
very unsafe for man suffragist to run
FOR Office. The politicians will soon learn
this. They will know it as soon as the
States in question become by reason of any
new issue debatable ground, and then they
viii all be woman suffragists for beginners
in the field expect to rise, and they would
not endanger chances of the highest sue
cess by forcibly expressing views which
they were running for the presidency. 1t is
not impossible that future national conven-
tons. in discussing the points of available
ity of possible candidate, may reckon advo-
cacy of woman suffrage as one In this
way the suffragists have certainly gained
point, and one of much wider influence
than the limits of the small States in which
the equal suffrage experiment is on trial.
