Sex too Impulsive.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Thomas
r Marshall. wife Of the governor Of In
diana, to-day went on record as one Of
the enemies of womans suffrage. The
occasion was the proposal of the Indiana
Federation of Womans Clubs TO present
bill 20 the legislature asking for the
right OF women to vote on school ques-
tions and the election of school officers.
Il don't believe in wOman's Suffrage"
said Mrs Marshall. Il have always felt
that the men are more capable 10 take
care of these affairs. and I am still Of
that opinion.
"A man has better foresight; he weighs
all questions before acting on them. A
woman is liable TO act on an impulse,
without the careful consideration a man
would give the questions 1t is for this
reason that I think men who are really
good men should have charge Of these
affairs"
