FOR EQUAL VOTES
NOTED NEW YORK sAyANT GIVES
STRONG ARGUMENTS BEFORE
DISTINGUISHED ASSEM-
Blaze.

Revealing the rema rkable fact hith-
erto generally unknown, that women
own more than forty per cent. of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and Western
Union Telegraph Company, Colonel
George Harvey. the noted editor au-
thor and scholar of New York deliv-
cred brilliant address In defense of
equal suffrage before distinguished
audience OF state Off oials and members
of equal suffrage before u distin-
gutshed audience OK state officials and
members of the Equal Suffrage League
OF Virginia in the auditorium OF the
JEFFERSON Hotel Wednesday night.
He maze forcitui argument by
asking why women who own the most
valuable property in the land have not
the right to cast the ballot, which Is
given to the Immigrant foreigner who
places the rails for the Pennsylvania,
the Scandinavian who digs coal in the
mines OF West Virginia. ana the ig-
norant Italian who amuses street chill
dren with hand organ and trained
monkey
Replying to the oft-repeatsd and
time-worn argument of the enemy of
equal suffrage that women should not
be entitled to vote because they are
unable to shoulder arms and bear the
hardships of war. the speaker said: ut
Is my conviction that brain Is not al
ways founded on Drawn. If 1t was /
would don my hat to a mule"
DR.. Harvey declared he could not
concur with those who believe that
women would sacrifice their modesty
by establishing their political inde-
pendence; that they would neglect
their children to cast the ballot; and
that they would divide households by
coming into political contact with their
husbands.
Asserting that vital truth once &C.
cepted can never die and must be ac-
cepted by all people of responsibility.
he declared that other commonwealths
will follow the lead of California, Me-
vada and Kansas which he said had
been won over to the cause of equal
suffrage In the last few weeks.
