Washington, July 23.-washington officials. the

about woman suffrage ] take my stahd
On the affirmative side. ] do not ag ee
with Philip Webster in saying they have
no business at the polls in a drunRen
crow6. That IL one OF the very reasons
why they should he there because We all
know that women will be respected
wherever they may so. and let me assn Q
you they know how to vote, If they
were allowed to vote In the State OF
Texas today there would not be - many
men OF bad characters in oiRce We.
too, would be more apt to have prohibition
in our grand old State. Let US f7ok bacN
IN the old countries many years ago and
we will see how great were the works Cf
women. Sparta was the cradle of great
women. History owes much TO women OF
note, Spain to Isabella and We owe our
own debt to the same woman in Column
bus discovering America, he HAD per-
mission from Isabella OF Spain. France
owes much TO Joan Arc. for she led the
French army to Victory against the Eng
lish, and then begged to be let 80 back
TO her private home, but the French gene
eral wanted her to stay with them. Final
ly she was caught by the English, cruody
burned at the stake and died brave wo-
man, whose place could not be tllcd. Then
you say women should not vote. Wher9
do you get your authority? In New Der
sey women exercised the franchise from
1716 TO 1907 and voted for the adoption
of the constitution as well as for prcsi-
dent. Those who contend that woman
suffrage is an unconstitutional priyi ege
might well consider the women who yo,ed
for this constitution All over the United
States today there are clubs being or
ganized by women Don't think it would
be improper to elect woman for some
Office, because If they were elected sheriff
they could deputize some men to arrest
criminals Do you expect to put women
in the kitchen and do hard work all their
lives and you go out and have a gGol
time? Nc. let them vote, and II 1t IS
wrong good women will find 1t out and
