majority OF women do not want woman
suffrage. II the average woman attends
to her own business and discharges the
duties of a competent wife and mother,
she has so many burdens resting upon
her that she cannot successfully assume

II the sufiragists can show that a ma
jority Of them want the suffrage-are
willing to undertake the additional duties
that go with the suffrage-then the Ma
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage will close its doors. since the
principles and constitution of this gov
ernment compel a compliance with such
demand.
Even the claim that there are 3,0oO.OOO
women already voting in the United
States is no proof of suffrage adher-
ence. For, while there are 100000
women of voting age in the suffrage
states, less than % per cent of them reg
lister and vote. Therefore, the suffra-
gists who have advertised the fact that
they intend to drive Congress to enact
suffrage legislation for the remaining
states are asking that a large majority
of women be compelled to undertake a
work which is repugnant to them-a
work which would seriously interfere
with the better and higher duties that
they have to perform for the State.
