The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1900-10-31
Women and The Ballot.

The sage OF the PunXsutawney SPIRIT,
after deep study of the question, finds
himself of this opinion regarding woman
sullerage:
There is only one thing seriously in
the way OF female suff'erage, and that is
the fact that women do not want to vote.
That the majority of them would vote
just as intelligently as men-providing
they took sufficient interest in public
affairs to post themselves, is also beyond
question. But politics is positively dis
tasteful to women, especially the kind
of politics which admits of universal
suffrage, government by the people. If
the ladies manged affairs they would
want Kings and Queens, and Princes and
Lords and Dukes, and magnificent coults
something to dazzle. There is not
enough dress parade about republic,
where everybody is part of the sovereign
power, TO suit the ladies. In a number
OF Western states women were given the
right to vote within the past decade. AT
first number of them took slight in-
terest. The interest declined rapidly
every year, until now their right to vote
is almost wholly unexercised. There
may occasionally a question arise that
will interest them sufficiently to cause
them to register, but such occasions will
be rare. French women, during the
reign of the Bourbon kigns, proved
themselves to be subtle politicians, skill
ed in all the arts of intrigue, but they
were attracted to it by the pomp and gilt
ter of royalty, and bothered themselves
little about political principles, To the
vast majority of women politics is a bore.
