The California Equal Suffrage asso-

to the published letters of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Elfhu Root.

suffrage. The statements aroused the
members to immediate action, and they
prepared statements voicing their in
dignation.
Mrs. Alice Park declared that the
letters which have caused the h,lbhub
were obtained by DIR. Lyman Ahhott q

pose or being read at his new anti
suffrage organization. the National

opinions will DO is the more potent he

Park. Roosevelt is now on the sta n
Of the Outlook. Abbott's paper. and ~

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
DR.. Abbott who was the principal
speaker at the meeting, argued against
what he held would be the infiction
of new and unnatural responsibilities
and duties upon women by forcing
upon them the obligations of public
life. The title of his address was
The Assault on Womanhood"
Root Advises Education
Secretary Root, in letter which was
read. said:
1 do not myself consider that the
granting Of suffrage to women
would, under the existing condi-
tions. be any Improvement in our
system of government. On the con-
trary, l think il would rather re-
duce than increase the electoral ef-
ieiency of our people.
am inclined to think, however.
that If the women of the United
States, or any very large majority
of them, should really come to want
the right of suffrage for themselves
they would ultimately get it.
For the purpose of exercising the
right of suffrage. if they should
ever get it. and for the purpose of
determining intelligently whether
they really want it, the women of
the country generally ought 10 have
and to seize the opportunity for a
greater degree of education in ques-
tions of government and in the art
of government than they have had
up TO this time.
DR.. Abbott declared that II he be-
lieved that the suffrage was the right
Of women or would protect their right.
or promote their interests he should b,
not mildly but ardently in favor of it,
The woman's rights" of which h,
declared himself an advocate DIR. Alb
bott described as her right to an oper
door to every vocation. to the highes
and broadest education. to what sh,
can do and be. to determine her owl
appropriate sphere. to be left free I,
follow the bent of her own divinely en-
/ dowed nature uncoerced by needless
| economic necessity and undiverted b,
/ Ill judged appeals or unfeminine sneer
Of her mistakenly ambitious sisters"
In Massachusetts. New York I'LL
nois. Oregon" said DR.. Abbott. "recen
I movements for woman suffrage hav,
/ been defeated because of the oppositio,
of the women. In at least ii othe
states similar defeats may be justly at
tributed to similar opposition Tha
