We are not in favor of woman Stuff.
rage" but we are strongly in favor that
women shall vote whenever and where
ever they have the right to vote. The
law gives them the right TO vote ON the
library question; they should therefore
improve the opportunity as matter OF
privilege as well as duty. Moreover this
may be the only chance they will ever
have to cast ballot unless they move
to some western state. Some women
may feel timid about going to the polls
to vote but there is no reason for that
Under the present laws the polling place
is about as quiet and solemn as prayer
meeting. The judges and clerks win be
there in their Sunday clothes and party
manners and will receive you with the
greatest consideration. Some of you
may look so young and fresh that the
judges may ask your age; but you don't
need to tell except that you are more
than twenty one years. When you have
been handed a ballot pass into booth
and make cross in the square opposite
the word yes if you want to vote for the
liabrary; or opposite the word no if You
want to vote againstit. Fold the ballot
and hand to the judge who will drop it
into the box. SO that the ballots cast by
the women may not be defiled by com
ing in too close contact with those cast
by the men, they will be put in a diff
erent box and counted separately. We
trust that every woman who is in favor
of having free public library for her
own use and the members of her family
will attend the election one week from
next Monday.
