Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1905-10-05


I'VE don't ask Grover Cleveland or any
other man to find the God-given sphere
of woman. There are enough Of us who
are sufficiently intelligent to find It our
selves.
Il am glad that Mr.. Cleveland sees that
the organization of women's clubs payes
the way for suffrage. 1t is a natural Sc
quence, because women's clubs are inter
ested in movements for the betterment of
city, state or government civics, and when
they attempt to do anything they run their
heads against the ballot box in short order.
They find that the vote Of one ignorant,
illiterate man outweighs their entire club
in fighting for or against legislation.
Women are interested in liquor laws
because they AFFECT the home; when the
man gets drunk he goes home; when he is
unfaithful 1t is the home that is hurt.
The grog shop, gambling room and brothel
are directly antagonistic to the home. Why
would not women vote against them IL
given a chance?"

Lille Devereaux Blake, president Of the
Legislative league:
mr.. Cleveland's article on woman suf-
frage is written in his usual thoughtful
and scholarly style, but one cannot help
regretting that he did not make himself
acquainted with the facts in the case before
he attempted so important dissertation
One of the first assertions is that women
are 'unbusinesslike' In reply. we might
ask Are all men businesslike?' The recent
exposures in the Equitable would seem to
indicate that some men are neither busi-
nesslike nor trustworthy while the great
army of women in various occupations
who are making for themselves admirable
by their capacity and reliability
give a direct contradiction to the charge"
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1905-10-05

Carrie Chapman Gait, former president
of the National Suffrage association:
Grover Cleveland, like most opponents
of woman suffrage, evades the main claim
why women should be endowed with the
ballot. Few woman suffragists have ever
claimed the ballot for women as an in
herent right. They are agreed that 1t
attaches neither to man nor to woman by
nature. They claim 1t as an act of JUS
tice, not as a concession of chivalry. The
ballot was first given to men upon the
principle that taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny Women are taxed and
women are governed, and for these rea-
sons, and for no other, do women suf-
fragists ask the ballot"
