Llsno. Texas.---Dear Haphs miner: /
think that women should vote, so ain
ON the affirmative All that Philip Web
ster said may be true, but some women
are strong politicians They could hold
offices in congress II they were allowed.
Some women could vote just about "a

Hutto. Texas. Dear Haphammer: We'll,
the new contest has opened and now for
The subject should women vote" Would
IT be hest for the welfare of our coun-
try il they were 10 vote? Woll. let ny
see. Philip says women have no business
at the lis because It IS drunken place
and no proper place for ladies, Well
don5t be too aston shed when | say that
is enc reason, and very good one too,
why she should be there As man adj
yances woman is elevated and her elevl-
tion in turn advances him. We need ou
politics purified and VIII can do more
towards plrifyt ng them than our noble,
pure wcmen2 No man VINO has any re-
spect for himself or country would be
drunk at the polls If women We're present.
No. no: liberty never degrades woman.
No liberty ever given her has been lost
or abused or regretted. For her own good
therefore she needs the ballot Woman's
vote is needed, too for the good of others
She is an enemy to foreign war or domes-
tic turmoil. She Is a friend OF peace ANA
hcme. II is her deere 10 see the land
pure and all homes sober. VITA nor hela
they may become so; without IL tIay
Will never be p. Oh, yes; II won d se
so much better for our country and people
II she posses ed the ballot. Therefore
say open the doors, set her free, let her
vote. We need her vote. To govern tho
great Nation wisely and well Is no de-
grading service To do 1t all the wisd m
ability md patriotism OF all Its people are
re quired, women as well as men Pan q
says most women would vote as their
husbands do. Well. suppose lhey do, Chat
wouldn't be much worse than TO do like
some of the men-sell their votes Now
a woman Won .dnt d tnat. She Is -
stubborn she had rather see her iayorite
win in the election than to have Ave times
the amount OF money one vote would
bring II Is true some women don't know
how to vote; but sh uld all be deprived OF
me liberty to vote jus. on account OF
tn Sc. No, that would be unjust, Do 10
Others as you would have others do to you.
Some men have no more idea about voting
than some women. SO suppose all men
were not allowed to v,te just on account
OF the blockheads. II is all mistake
about women being so excitable and uer
vous. They are just little more tender
hearted than men But in time OF need
they are just as heroic and win stand
firmly and face their duty us bravely as
any man. While. of course. women are
not perfect, neither are men. They all
have faults. There are some good men
and some goJd women but both sides
have large number Of good-for nothing.
Well, / win bring this very embarrassing
letter 10 a close. Love aud kind wishes
to all the Haps. Long live the grand old
Post. the best Of papers and one could
not do without. Now all Of you think be-
fore you vote; and when you vote. why
vote wisely not bllndly. Your true friend,
