TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-Sir.
Aprupos of woman suffrage. II was my
great privilege a few months ago to Qeet
la Italy two highly cultivated ladies from
Australia. and at once the conversation
turned on this, to many women, burning
topic ! asked: what do tho women Of
Australia think now OF suffrage for
women
The reply was significant and expressed
Win great edrnCstucss:
I'VE do not stop to think about II at
all, for We have had 1t twenty-five years
and take II As a matter Of course, But
every thoughtful person knows II Is an
evil. u great menace for us. owing 10 the
Labor vote, which heavily outbalances the
vote al the educated class and often TO
the dctrlmont OF the w!sest efforts for
our national development"
Let our men consider this statement
made by women experienced in equal
suffrage conditions, and let them not yield
too readily and chNalrously to the evil
% an added ignorant vote which is
menacing our own development.
