That is what every man who has been helped
up the ladder by his mother says to her when he
SCOTS at the idea that woman should not share
in the right of franchise
You gave me life, this man says to his
mother; you taught how to walk and you
pointed out the pitfalls for me; you were capable
of directing my education and was glad to be
counselled by you and advised before | was III
years of age. but now l no longer need your
motherly interest
And this same man says to his wife:
You competent to watch over my son; to
have his body and mind in your charge and to
minister to him in his sickness the night long
while sleep. When he becomes of age he and
l alone will know what is best for him and you
will retire TO the background.

be permitted to vote for him?"
1T is because he is a man. says his father.
He is among and best able to de-
eide for himself a man.
Then" pleads the mother, Let vote for
my daughter
Should woman be given the ballot?
Ask yourself the question and then turn it over
in your mind and regard it from all its angles.
Are there not evidences every hand that she
is as qualified to vote as man?
Should she be made to suffer the ills of society
made by bad law when she has had no hand in
the making of those laws?
Would you walk into the humble room in
which the artist pictures this mother and her
baby, take that baby from the cradle before her
eyes and walk away with it?
You would not. but you are doing that very
thing when few years later you say to her with
your law: HE is NO LONGER YOURS"
There mothers over this country who want
to save their and they WILL save them if
they are given the ballot
Hasten the day when these grown babies will
be reclaimed to their mothers protecting arms.
