MANY ENDORSE
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Governors of Various States
Tell New York World
Movement is Growing
KENTUCKY LEA Err FAvORS IT.
Governor Eberhart Says Wom-
en- Are Entitled To Vote
AS Matter of Right

As Matter of Right
In view of the increasing interest
in the question of Woman Suffrage,
the New York World recently asked !
a number of public men to give
their opinion on the subject. Among
the replies received were the follow
ing:
Gaining Strength Here
Governor Eberhart: Il favor this
movement because woman is entitled
to vote as matter of right. AS to
whether or not the sentiment for
this movement is increasing in Min
nesota, the vote thereon in the Leg
islature would indicate that it is
steadily increasing. While every
State in the Union may not be
ready to accept woman suffrage
within ten years, | believe that the
movement is gaining in strength
everywhere and that it will be
adopted"
Justice In The Demand
Governor West, of Oregon: Il
wish to say that | am in favor of
the woman suffrage movement. |
think there is justice in the demand
of its advocates, and in my opinion
it will in time be successful in this
State. | would not attempt to pro-
phesy whether woman suffrage will
be national in it's scope within ten
years, but / do believe that within
that time many more States will
have adopted it than at the present
time and have its provisions upon
their statute books.
Will Ultimately Win
Governor Vessey, of South Dakota:
Il have to say that, in my opin-
ion, the suffrage movement is one
that will ultimately win. l have
been unable to find any good reason
why men should have the right of
suffrage that does not equally apply
to women.
Only Question of Time
Governor Burke, of North Dakota:
I'm my opinion, the woman suffrage
movement is growing and it is only
question Of time until there will
be adopted in all the States legisla-
ton granting women the right of
suffrage.
Governor Deneen, of Illinois: i
believe that the sentiment for the
extension to women Of the right OF
suffrage is growing in our State"
! Governor Baldwin, of Connecticut
: II recommended in my inaugra
} message to the recent General AS
sembly in this State grant to tax
paying women of municipal suf
:: frage."
i Governor Stubs, of Kansas: :"
I am and always have been in favor O.
equal suffrage. The question will
be submitted to the voters of thi
State at the fall election of 1912 ant
will undoubtedly result in the ful
: enfranchisement of the women o
Kansas.
Governor Wilson, Of Kentucky
II favor school suffrage for women
= and believe that they will get
4 whenever they insist upon it. 1t
logically correct. There are man
= people who have sentiment j
y favor Of it in Kentucky, and tn
movement is undoubtedly increas
" ing"
Governor Mills. Of New Mexico
Z I'm my opinion the right to vote j
', all elections should be given to won
= en- if they desire it. If the que'
ton is ever passed by the Legisl'
y ture and submitted to the NAL
Z. voters, have no doubt that in tn
Territory the vote would be in tt
affirmative"
Governor Mann, of Virginia: y
90 50 nv opinion the women of Virgin
will have equal suffrage within t
years. Evolution Of the democrat
form of government leads irresis
IDLY to this logical result, and, ho'
ever distasteful it may be to som
e we might as we'll face it and prepa
for its coming
