OPPOSED TO THE
SUFFRAGE OF WOMEN
Strong Report Made by Illinois
Association.
WITHHOLD THE BALLOT
HOME INFLUENCE CAN ACCOM-
PLIsH MORE THAN VOTING.

Chicago, May 3.-The Illinois assoc
citation opposed TO the exteEs-oli of
suffrage to women today issued its
semi annual report Of the progress of
the work After giving the results of
the legislative action in the middle
west in regard 10 woman suffrage dur
ing the past winter, the report says:
..Tcverywhere there seems to be a
growing conviction that the best work
of women lies along the lines of moral
influence and unselhsh endeavoe, in a
realm where the Golden Rule is not
Read backward and that the lover
ing of this high ideal to the plane Of
expediency, trucking and bargaining
which the ADMISSION of all classes OF
men to the ballot often makes neces-
sary IN politics, would be a distinct
calamity to women themselves ana 70
society at large.
IF women would use as much intel
ligence and energy as participation IN
legislation would require, in teaching
their children. boys and girls alike, in
a. broad liberal way the great prlncl-
pies of temperance and chastity, they
would do more IN generation towards
! eradfcati ting the evils of intempeEauce
and impurity than they could do by a
4 century Of voting. If in the same way
they would inculcate and everywhere
stand for the principles of justice and
/ unselhshness ard a true regard for the
rights of others, in social, commercial
land political relations, they could &c
more towards reforming those condI-
\ tions Of society which breed anarchy
and are the despair of the practical
politician, than they could ever do
/ through legislative action. There is
much evidence that to these aims
I thoughtful and philanthropic women
are directing their attention rather
than to Suffrage.
I'VE believe that there is q growing
Z recognition of the fact that instead sOt
being a social advance. women suffrage
I is part and parcel OF. that great retro
! grade movement which seeks TO destroy
/ the orderly recognition of society and
i reduce it to absolute individualisH
Which characterizes only the lowest
form of social life. "
