know that I shall soon see the day
when women will have an equal
voice with men in the government
of this country. Then will an era
of PEACE AND GOOD WILL TO
ALL" be inaugurated."
Miss Marion H. Brazier, a well
known writer and club-Woman, said
Hail the near future when the
country will see all women voting.
Then will we have an equal wage
law and better domestic laws. "
With an equal wage-law for both
men and women, the problem of the
amelioration of the laboring classes
will be partly solved and the great
est incentive to vice will have been
eliminated.
Mrs. Donald Mclean, former
president general of the Daughters
of the American Revolution: AS
our forefathers fought for our free,
dom, so also the women OF those
days took up arms for the country
| do not see why we should not
have a vote too. The country
needs the hand of the women in its
affairs so that the voice of the
mothers and daughters may bring
about a more humane form of gov
eminent"
Mrs. John L. Burnett, wife of a
congressman from Alabama: 1
think it is a shame to keep so many
women who are factors in the bust
ness world from voting. We in the
South will stand by these women
who demand their rights"
Mrs. Senator Gore, wife of the
blind Senator from Oklahoma, who
is know as the senator's brown
eyes: Of course women should have
voice in the government. They
are gradually filling every field of
occupation, and many of them are
more important factors in the ma
ton than many men. We have
many brainy, far-seeing women and
all are gradually becoming more in
terested in the affairs of the govern
ment. They have sound opinions
as to lettering conditions, Why
should not these women be allowed
10 say who shall govern them?
They will be better wives, mothers,
sweethearts, and in many cases bet
ter wage-earners if they are given
the privilege of voting and are
emancipated into clear-thinking in
dependent women"
Miss Catherine Chamberlain: of
course | believe in Woman's suffrage
and am willing to work with the
rest of the suffragists to that end
| want to vote and would take a
lively interest in politics if allowed
to vote"
Mrs. A. B. Cummins, wife of an
Iowa Senator: When the women
are the backbone of the country,
why should women be deprived of
their voice in the law-making? [
shall be happy to see the day when
women will vote, for then will there
be better laws" The mothers of our
race knowing at what tremendous
cost a human being is brought into
the world, naturally have more re-
gard for human life and human
rights than men, and will, therefore,
not only pass more equitable laws,
but also prevent wars between ma
tons as we'll as internecine strife.
Miss Elsie Hill, daughter of Rep
resentative Ebenezer Hill of Con-
necticut and a student along socio-
logical lines: The country is cor
rupt. Women have their families
to protect and the future of their
families as well to look after. If
they had a vote they would vote
only for men who would fight the
people who are sapping the life of
the Nation
That strikes the keynote of the
situation. Give women the right to
vote, and they will soon so purify
