,t-onebouf this country the strongest

~ thcir best energies towards the
5sraloping of their children In order
!, make them citizens worthy OF our
great country.
I'VE do not think that as an organi-
rfion we have "a right To demand an
Apresslon OF opinion from the candi-
iates 10 this coming election. We
efer 10 leave politics alone until our
~ & sharing the responsibility with

sason for suffrage s community of in
trsst between the sexes. lt is not In
nv sense a fight for right but the
sgoa evolution Of justice. The Equal
Franchise society wishes 10 establish
Platform upon which such speakers
! Bishop McNicar OF Rhode Island.
III. Everett Colby. and perhaps Mr..
Martin W. IlttletOu win express their
,sHf On suffrage. and for that reason
Ne have leased the Garden theater

We wish 10 enlist that part Of the
4 community regardless of sex or creed.
Who will cooperate with us because OF
iaeir loyalty 10 their country. Among
he most recent additions to our mem
heiship are such women as Mrs. Will
Tam sthienlin. Mrs. Milton Barger.
Mrs. Rudolph Schirmer. Mrs. Archibald
