duties of all women and all men
She says The value of vote as
compared with the manifold sacrifices of
home and children and all legitimate
womans work and duties is thrashed

one can possibly imagine that vote once
a year will sacrifice home and children

Woman Suffrage
Is Not Sex Hatred

To the Editor Of The Tribune Woman
Forum
/. Mrs Lawrence SAYS thar per cent
Of the women want 20 vote and @ per
cent do not want il.
These are the facts:
Eight per cent Of the women are en-
rolled in the active suffrage movement
Less than per cent Of the women arc
enrolled in the anti-suffrage movement
Why forbid the per cent who want it
because ! per cent do not want il:
Mrs. Lawrence's comparison should be
between per cent and per cent.
:. Mrs. Lawrence says that the woman
suffrage movement is largely based on
sex antagonism
/ Suffrage based on Why, no, That
is quite wrong. The woman Suffrage
movement is based on deep-lying princi-
pies of justice, equality and service, Oh
high ideals for social civic and economic
betterment, and so on.
We feel no sex antagonism. We wish
TO work together with men for the com
mon good. Where the women vote they
have established one pont-that they may
be depended upon 10 unite with the men
who are working for reform issues. Such
men need our assistance. Women have
demonstrated the fact that III important
issues they are non-partisan. Herein lies
great power for good; the concentra-
ton on needed legislation and its enforce
ment, rather than on party measures TO
serve party ends.
] reiterate, woman suffrage is neither
based on nor does it in any appreciable
degree feel sex antagonism. IL IS my
opinion that all normal women like men.
Being suffragists does not change our
natures

WRONG STATISTICS.

Third--Mrs. Lawrence says there are
now fourteen states which have equal
guardianship law, and Colorado IL the
only equal suffrage state in the fourteen.
These are the,facts:
Fifteen out Of the forty-eight states
have passed this law.
Seven out Of our nine equal suffrage
states have passed this law.
seven-ninths Of the states where women
vote, then, have this law.
Eight out of the thrty-nine male suf-
frage states have passed this law.
Eight-thrty- ninths-about two-ninths-
OF the male suffrage states, then, have
passed this law.
