st Pitiss the Man the tias Nst L.sve5l
 1t IS a new gospel that is being pro. said. The Eoepel that women arss
 mems equal We have locked upor l women as infinitely our 4uperior W. know how to pity man into whose I soul has not come the love of women
 aetnlns aa,,s,d E $ so desolate F the home q 1 Mir. Sp1ain addressed himself to the i bachelors on tho committed amid laughter. Or, he added '.tl1e desert- ed boudoir of the maiden into whose ear came no word of man. (
 kesp Woman on Hsr Throne. But from those fools vision of hope and despair we will draw the veil. We will look at the scheme of the Divine Maker and place women on the throne
 where she had been enshrined in all the agcs- Who would pull down the
 woman from this throne? Who would
 pull her down into the mfre of political
 strife? Who would drag down from
 their saintly heights of the Marys and
 Marthas of sacred scripture and en-
 throne the Carrie Nations, the Dr.
 Walkers and the Emily Pankhursts :?
 Who will bring forth this spectre of domestic strife
 Mcthsrs Don't Want the Ballot.
 Not the women who lind motherhood the sacred mission of creation. Not the man who exalts the home and ex ats womanl1ood Not the womanly woman or the manly man. It lis the woman who would jump. the Soc1al hurdles to fulhH their ambition or the man who would play upon the emo tions of women as the player p16ys upon the strings of a harp. These are the men who are sly, resoutceful and have personal ends to gain. In New York the movement has been taken Hp as a plaything of the moment by the women who have tired of their dog and horse shows and who are anxious to swell the colony at Reno.
 Mother Eve and the Appie
 The most convincing argument for the ballot that have heard was that of Miss Pierson. who said: We want the ballot when we want it. Mother Eve wanted the forbidden apple and she got it, and the world has been in yesterday- and then the women hissed, and Senator McNeil rapped for order. MT. Sp1ain's time being up, he ] sat down with the closing words:
 They say that women will not vote | on license questions. but where the l hounds of prohibition run there you will find the trail of the suffragettes"
 Women in 0snsraI Don't Want IL.
 Robert J. Woodruff, prosecuting ,at- torney in the New Haven court of | common pleas, rose in opposition to say he opposed the measure ten years ago. There Is no need of equal suf- l frage, he said l
 Said Mr Woodruff: The ladies are crying out about a calamity that has never occurred. I say to you ladies i that everything is all right. Where 1 are the senators and representatives | who are speaking in behalf of their | constituents for woman suffrage? It | rxrf1fta 1v1 a wish it. If the heart of Connecticut | were beating in sympathy with the suffragettes there would be an ent1hu- l sfasm throughout the state. I don't | believe the ballot will help women. Can Rock ths Cradle md Vote. Too. |
 Dr. F. W. Hooker O. Hartford was l Ihe first speaker in ;, ,rebuttaI sAThe | question divides itself into two parts. ne said. Is it right and is it expe7f- l mt to give a woman the ballot? It is l' libel on womanhood to say that they ! .han4e because they cast the ballot. They would rock the cradle as gently | md be as lovely as they are now, and f he community would be better for | vote."
 Mrs. Hepburn said: Tt is very neces- ary in order to have movement suc- E 'essfui for objections to be raised to
 submit It to the People"
 Among other things she said: aThe tI Anerican Federation of Labor has en- I1 orsed woman suffrage. because it be leves it will help the wives of work Il ngmen."
 Miss Emily Pierson of Cromwell. tate organizer for the Connecticut II Voman's Suffrage association. the last RI peaher, said: T ask you gentlemen if l] vonner are on pedestal" In closing ! Hiss Pierson referred to the recent hirtwaist factory fire in New York, aWng tnat 143 were killed They had ost their lives. she said. and navar ad chance to better conditions with | \ he ballot.
