"Women Voters Nauseating"


With both feet on the neck of wom-
ans suffrage, with one finger in the eye
of every woman voter in Colorado, and
with his voice ringing straight ahead of
him, because he isn't afraid of any
thing that has fists and walks, Richard
01es' Home journal, says that suffrage
Is a curse to state, and mat because
of suffrage in COLORADO ana an utter
absence OF brotherly feeling, ours is the
most benighted state in the union, says
LeoIa Allard in the Denver Post.
Before election MIR. Barry came 10
Denver to investigate suffrage. He
came feeling that IL was curse, ana

Here are the things that Mr. Barry

a forcible hit upon the table near him.
when he gave out an interview before
leaving town:
The essence of discipline is obedience.
Women car never be successful in poll
tics because they are disobedient and
they can't all be made over.
Mems Respect for Women.
1T is the pleasure and the privilege
of every true man to care for the wom-

daughters, his sisters and his mother
and when women are put on an eco

and assert by their actions that they
can protect themselves, and men lose

suffrage has not made the least
nrogress in the past 10 years. The rich
women of New York who have gone into
it have done so because they want
diversion. They haven't enough fol-
lowers to win, and suffrage will go into
a decline as sure as the sun sets. Last
year it was at it's height, and it will

Colorado women say they think it will.

tire absence of tact, as l saw at the
Broadway theater when the women poll
ticians of Denver met there when Miss
Morgan was in Denver.
The moment she left to catch her
10 o'clock train, as she had planned
to do before going to the meeting, one
of the supposed pillars of Denver aris-
tocracy said things that were uncom-
plimentary to the guest, scarcely wait
ing till she had passed out of the the
alter door. Miss Morgan never has
made a public speech, and no one had
right to say that she would make one.
The statement was made here without
consulting the visitor, and then she was
chastised because she refused to speak
