To the Editor VI The Times
| think suffrage was defeated be-
cause so many men were stupid
enough TO listen 10 the selfish cunning
arguments OF the saloon element
Suffragists do not ask special
privileges" They only ask rights
Women appreciate the small sweet
courtesies OF life" which men SO free
" bestow, but IL takes q hypocrite TO
bestow 'courtesies" In lieu or
rights BE just before you are
generous" Is a good maxim A vote
mans right" Men should be proud
OF women for requesting this right
instead of censuring them. When a
person takes away or keeps away
ones rights he Is a thief. Women
without vote are as truly slaves as
the Negroes in the south were, yet
they that carried US away captive
required OF US song. and they that
wanted us required Of Us mirth.
II is infinitely more noble, however,
to be the oppressed than 10 be the
oppressor. The slave in unwilling
bondage is nobler than the man who
puts the shackles on a brother.
Nobler IL he who chafes under an
injustice than he who Is low enough
TO lick the hand that whips him
Had men ever really viewed women
as equals They would always have
had the ballot, but under present
day conditions when women are
forced into the business world, de-
priving her OF a vote is little less
than criminal There would be fewer
hobble skirts and peek-a.boo dresses
and fewer broken homes II women
could vote, yet men sacrifice these
improvements for the foolish pleasure
Of being thought a superior creature
The brightest and best men in our
country and everywhere see these
points clearly, but many men do not
consider the subject earnestly enough
and TO these we might say 20 wad

ourselves as ithers see us" Women
ought TO present such men with men

There was a large class OF thought
full, conscientious. independent voters
who had become dissatisfied with old
things: disgruntled with logrolling
methods Disguised with bossism and
hopeless OF reform under standpatism
who cast their ballot in favor OF pro-
gressive measures OF which woman
suffrage is one, but since then have
wondered II the thing was not being
overdone. They have learned that
lasting reforms are OF slow growth
They believe that the giving OF the
ballot Is 4 favor-not entirely right;
that the favor is given too freely to
our emigrants and that II was sad
mistake 10 extend IL to million
denseE ignorant black men at the
time and under the circumstances
when given.
They rather dislike 10 see their
wives and sisters parading the
streets with political tracts and are
convinced that the method OF tho
English suffragists are 70 say the
least semi barbarous, which methods,
by the way, their American sisters
have not very strenuously condemned.
They believe that woman has as good
right TO the ballot as many classes
Of men and that she should eventually
be given the favor but they also won.

decrease. This was also true of every
ward of the city except the Third.
where the increase against was only

100 against. and 200 for.
Here are other reasons which ap-
peal TO me as explaining their con-

First, The over confidence OF the
