= You should support Socialism be-
cause it will give the most happiness
and development to the most people.
It is a worldwide protest against a
system of exploitation whereby the
lives of the workers are being ground
into profit. You want to help propa-
gate the principles of Socialism be-
cause they alone can give:to the work
ers what they produce, and chance
to enjoy the Injuries and Opportunu-
ties that should be the inheritance of
every human being.
You want to work for Socialism be
cause it will rescue the children from
streets and crowde dtenements of the
cities and give them plenty of fresh
air and sunshine, while on the other
hand the poor of the country, with
nothing but fresh air and sunshine,
mig thhave an opportunity to see and
enjoy the sights Of the cities.
Socialism means widening of the
mother heart and the development of
that great power to its proper place in
society. 1t would guarantee to every
childa perfect protection and de-
tense and full free education of all
their faculties.
Socialism would make the mills,
mines and factories of this country
safe and sanitary places in which to
work and you would not be afraid
when your husband left home in the
morning that.he might bebroqght back
at night a mangled corpse.
Socialism offers to you, your hus-
band and your family equality and
Justice, better hours and better pay,
comfort and happiness, peace and
plenty.
What more can woman ask for?
Isn't this worth little bit of your
time and attention?
Perhaps you are Bit skeptical as
most non-Socialists are, and do not
believe it possible for all the prom
ises of Socialism to ever be fulfilled.
You could not be convinced OF this IN
one short article. I only hope to
arouse your interest to the extent that
you will study the broad question OF
Socialism, on which so mnay volumns
|Hnave been written, and convince your
self.
If you are one of the million quail
fed women voters Of this country you
are anxious to vote for the best in
terests of yourself and class. You
want to vote for the party that will
give you he greatest good. If you are
a working woman the Socialist ticket
is he only one you can conscientiously
vote. Because it is the ticket of your
class. The bankers wife you see rid
ing by your humble cottage can well
AFFORD to spend her time and money
electioneering for one of the old par
ties, because The present system has
given her all she needs, since she
looks no furthrt than her own imme-
date family, But your life and your
children's lives are interviewer with
those Of the working class and their
future deepnds somewhat on your
vote.
Do you vote for the workers to nave
a larger life with broadened field OF
opportunity or do you vote for the life
crushing system to continue that
chokes the desires and ambitions out
Of working class children even before
they are born?
The Socialist ticket Is the ticket
your masters hate, that your exploiters
fear. It is the instrument Of the
working class alone. # you cast your
baIlot IN the interest Of your class
Won have done all one voter could do
to put the job owners rent collectors
and profit mongers out OF commission,
