Woman Suffrage and Prohibition.

Edward Wallis Hoch, journalist, pub
ncist. and for two terms governor Of
Kansas. when that State was the hot
bed Of prohibition agitation, when seen
at the Ebbitt recently, declared that in
woman suffrage he saw a. probable allev-
lati0n OF the -barroom rampant"
In my judgment. he said. manhood
and womanhood should be banded to-
gether in civil government. ] have never
heard 8 good argument against woman
suffrage, and l would so loo miles 10
hear one.
II believe woman should have a
vote, if only 70 protect her son growing
up to manhood. Woman in politics is
and always has been an influence for
good. If women have the ballot, the
saloon viii have 10 go.
Il am an optimist The world is grow-
ing better. and / pity the man who is
not glad he was born.
kansas has been a temperance State
Cor thirty-four years. Kansas was the
firing line of prohibition. Now the
whole world has caught the Kansas
spirit But l warn you that what is
good for the cause OF temperance is
accomplished by temperance. The man
opposed 20 prohibition has a right TO his
opinion. In Kansas, one-third of the
cunties have no prisoners 10 jail and no
residents Of the poorhouse- In Kansas,
IS out Of 105 counties have not sent a
prisoner TO the State penitenuary IN the
last year"
