The Mankato correspondent OF The
ST. Paul Pioneer Press sent that news
paper the following story concerning
The sentiment for and against woman
suffrage in Mankato:
While many of the prominent women
of the city take lively interest IN
the question of woman suffrage, or
equal rights, the majority do not, and
those who are opposed to it generally
decline to express themselves ON the
subject. Local sentiment in favor of
equal rights seems to be growing, new
lertheless. and number of women who
are considered among the brightest in
the city are in favor OF it, although
not without some limitations, rs a
rule. The following expressions OF opin-
ion were obtained:
Mrs. Cooper. wife of President c. II.
Cooper of the state normal school,
says: "The women who want il
ought to have it. but all of Us ought
not be pressed into it, If women We're
to be allowed To vote there ought to
be some limitations established as to
who could vote, perhaps an educational
one, but i'm that case the question
might arise whether men ought NOT
To be subjected Ia the same limitations
and qualifications that women would
be. Only few women are capable
at present of intellieenty exercising
the right of ballot, but we would
make ourselves ready if we were to
know we were to be given the ballot.
We would make machine politics most
difficult and try to vote intellgently."
DIR. Madge T. Holman, wife of Dr.
c. J. Holman, says: woman suffrage
creates obligations which l for one
would gladly leave to my brothers,
were it not for the feeling it will re-
suit in great benefit 10 all mankind. IT,
will make machine politics most diff
cult and uncertain. The power of a
candidate for Office will lie i'm his
moral character. The result will be

says: II believe to certain extent in

of the editors of The Mankato Daily
Review, said: Il was present with
my husband at the editorial conven
ton, but did not hear this matter dis
cussed. Personally / do not care so
much about woman suffrage, but /
would favor it for the sake of my Sis
tiers who need it. 1t is necessary for
some united body to take action, and
think the wOmen's clubs are the ones
TO act and take the matter up with
the legislature"
Mrs. Fritz, wife of NJ. ID. Fritz, one
of the publishers and propretors Of
The Mankato Daily Free Press, says:
Il think the move is II step in the
right direction, and | am glad to see
such an influential body of men taking
il mp. 1t looks IA though something

association takes it up, as well as
women who are not of the suffragette

Mrs. Willisford.' wife of Rev. +. III.
WilIisford, pastor of the First Baptist
church, says: IL think women ought
to have chance to vote. 1t is true
that they have chance on school mat
tiers and have not generally made
good use of it, but | think mat they
ought to have the opportunity, any
way. There has been talk along the
line that the hand that rocks the

wife does not have time to 90 to vote,
but | notice there are few of them
that do not have time to attend bar

DR.. Ida Osborn says II believe in
woman suffrage, but not as strongly
as some do. | am in favor of bringing
the subject up at this time Petitions,
