SUFFRAGE LIKENED TO
+ TANGO" OR "TROT"
Essayist Says Craze Is Merely Out
break of Nerves of Morbidly
Nervous Women.

THE craze for suffrage is the mental
| tango dance of the over excited, use
less. modern woman. With her own
morbidity as the music, she gradually
starts her brain into a tango or turkey
trot which creates bewildering whrl
and causes a lot of noise. but arrives
nowhere. Turkey-trotting, which can be
done in a space as large as a dime,
seems to be both the physical and the
mental failing of a lot of modern
women"
This is an extract from one of the
essays in the competition for the 500
prizes offered by the National Associa-
ton Opposed to Woman Suffrage for
the best papers of 500 words each
against woman suffrage in this country.
The announcement of the competition
was made ten days ago. and already
the New York headquarters of the or
ganizatisn has been flooded with hum
dreds of essays sent in from all parts
OF the United States. officers of the
associa ton said yesterday.
Commenting on the competition, Mrs.
Arthur NJ. Dodge, of New York, pres-
dent Of the national association, said
yesterday:
1T seems that the offer of the two
500 prizes, one for the best essay sub
mitted by city woman, and one for the
best sent in by country woman, has
made this matter a subject of national
small talk, argument and most serious
discussion
Some of the essays already received
contain striking and humorous passages.
An essay from Washington contained
this:
Here in Washington, where politicians
of every degree assemble, we know
that the strain of public life on men
is terrific. Why it should be put upon
women, who, if they discharge their
real duties, have as much as they can
possibly do. is a point which has never
been explained by the advocates Of
woman suffrage
The competition has about three weeks
to run, as all the essays must, be in
the offices Of the national organization,
at IS West Thirty-ninth Street, New
York City, not latere than April 30. The
prizes will be awarded by Ida NJ. Tar
bell, Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Jeanette
Watson Glider.
