WOMEN WANT BALLOT
Not Only to Better Conditions, but to
Perfect Their Citizenship.

Not Only to Better Conditions, but to
Perfect Their Citizenship.
Having been active in many good
works of a public character, there is
none who realizes the real value the
ballot would be to women more fully
than does Mrs. Clara b. Arthur, pres.
ident of the Equal Suffrage association
of Michigan
She is charter member of the best
known club in Detroit, the Twentieth
Century. and she has served as presi
dent of the Detroit Federation of
Clubs and as director in the State Fed
Grafton of Clubs.
Mrs. Arthur is secretary of the De-
troit Anti-tuberculosis society, is a di-
rector Of the Detroit tuberculosis sani-
tarium and has served on numerous
committees which have helped to bet
ter conditions for women and children.
such as those for juvenile court proba
ton officers, securing appointment OF
women factory inspectors. women on
boards of control in institutions where
women were detained and has many
times appeared before the legislature
in behalf of altruistic causes.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Arthur
feels keenly the need of the ballot for
women in their effort TO improve con-
ditions, she yet says that it is not for
this purpose she demands citizenship.
She says, II want the ballot because
without it ] am classed with aliens
and am a perpetual minor; because an
unenfranchised person is not citizen
in deed and in truth; because it is
humiliating to be in the eyes of the
law incapable of expressing an opin-
ion as to whom | want for mayor or
governor or president or if as a patri-
otto citizen | want peace or war
want the ballot because it is my right
and should be my privilege"
