justice women the mothers of this country should be
forbidden to share in the making of the laws
Look at the picture this page represents the average
good woman taking of family.
What will dare say this woman is not fit to vote
or that she has not THE RIGHT to vote?
She brings the children into the world cares for them
She endures the drudge hardship monotony the home
while the away engaged in infinitely trying
The mother suffers the dreadful agony of childbirth in
ntey than any suffering battlefield about which
men talk so much
And she suffers the pang of anxiety and when
children are ILL., she through ordeal which
conceivable when one of her children dies
The whole load of the world upon woman back She
creates the entire race, the men and the women.
Unjust laws weigh heavily upon her
Bad laws and failure the laws destroy
acter of her sons and she suffers.
InConCeivaby stupid and brutal those who would for
bid women the vote.
Nothing admirable could conceived than tne won
dsrfp courage shown by those England protesting
in starvation and to the point of death against mans injustice
Did you read the description of that noble old woman
Mrs Panhurst tried by judge and lot of other MEN
sent to Jail for three years?
You talk about the courage of men. Where has a man
shown the courage of that old refusing eat deanty
telling her judges that she would out of prison

Have not the women of the country right to defy laws
WHEN THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SHARE IN THE
MAKING OF THE LAWS?
Have not men from the beginning done infinitely worse
things than the suragettes of England did in the effort
to get the and freedom?
Did not the socaed noble patriots of this country in the
early days resort to excuses that cannot even be described
when they protesting against Engand refusal give

about the fights THAT MEN MADE AGAINST MEN TO GET
THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND CONTROL THEMSELVES AND
WE FORGIVE THE FACT EVEN THAT IN BOSTON THE

and forgiveness for the of England and for the

selves justice and fair treatment?
To the who opposes suffrage who at the eff
forts noble their right ask these questions
Why do you despse and think them unfit to vote?
WAS YOUR OWN MOTHER UNFIT TO VOTE? Have
you poor opinion of mother of your sister, of your
