WOMEN WON'T HAVE TO ASK THEIR "F4UBBIES'
HOW TO VOTE-NOT IF THEY GO TO "SCHOOL,'

HOW TO VOTE-NOT IF
Do the women in your neighbor-
hood know how to register and vote?
Could they walk up to the polls and
cast their ballots if they had the fran
chise?
If not, organize a class and teach
them.
This is the practical plan of wide
awake Illinois women who propose,
in the next three months to make
the business of voting as easy and
familiar to every woman in the whole
state as it is to order her groceries!
Regardless of trade, position or
politics, this statewide campaign to
prepare women voters for the next
election has been inaugurated.
The neutrality-suspicious.
movement is already well under way
right here in Chicago.
Scores of classes are organized in
various parts of the city where COM
petent instructors - women = take
their pupils through the whole pro-
cess of registering and voting.
Hundreds of women attend these
classes, which are held every day I'M
der the direction of suffrage organ
izations, political parties, women's
club organizations, women's unions,
etc. =
The first class was started by the |
election commissioners. Women in
structors may be found in the COM
missioners' Office at city hall any time
during the day or evening. When
ever a group of women come in,
whatever the time of day, they can
have a class.
ALL classes of women are taking
the trouble to attend!
