INTERESTS LARGE AUDIENCE.
DR.. Sernbaum Tells Why Women Do
Not Want Vote.

DR.. Ernest Bernbaum of Harvard
University, speaking Tuesday evening
at the Unitarian church upon the
subject. why Women Do Not Want
to Vote" held the close attention of
a large audience and his lecture was
thoroughly appreciated. In a most in
teresting manner he set forth the rea-
sons which the Anti-suffragists hold,
why the women should not vote, and
each point he made clear with nu-
merous Illustrations.
Norman Bassett introduced the
speaker, stating that the men and
women of Maine must now decide
whether they want woman suffrage
He said that the question was for
merly not looked upon in serious
light but now it has been brought to
the front and as a serious question
must be decided.
DIR. Bernbaum, in opening his ad-
dress stated that woman suffrage has
been advocated in most states from
80 to 40 years, and that, strange TO
say. the opposition to il has come in
a large measure from the women
themselves. As a fair proposition the
speaker stated that the question
should be submitted to the women
themselves to see If they really desire
the vote But to this proposition the
Suffragists in practically every state
are opposed.
To show that the women do not
really care for the vote DR.. Bern
baum stated that in recent ballot
in the state of Massachusetts upon
the suffrage question only about $4,000
votes were cast from over 1,000,60o
eligible women. AS another example
he pointed to the state of Michigan,
where, in April, 1913. the men found
that the women really were not anx-
ious for the vote, the Suffragists were
