Webster said It Is an easy contest and the
same time q hard cue. Would IL re best
for the State or for women? Well, / Viii

editress requested us to be perfectly
plain on this subject. Honestly do not
Believe II would do women any good to
vote I believe woman should be inde-
pendent enough 10 follow any vocation
she chooses TO make her living, even TO
( practicing medicine, but when II comes
TO law j think she Is out OF her realm.
And as far as tho State, don't think IT
would do any good am atfaid Il would
do more harm than good, for II women
vote she OF course would have a rigAt ID
fight in the wars We are more De l.

IL would cost more 10 get hospitals ready
for our accommodation than would do II
good. ] guess ! have said enough on
this subject. | don't agree With some of
the Haps slyine they thought the
Harpyhammers ought TO be taxed for
think they ought 10 be willing 10 send IN
their nickels without being taxed. /

men would vote as their husbands and
a good many would lot know how Ia

money. end think that Is still worse
than voting like their husbands PbiliI
also said that women do not take aay
interest In politics and would not know
