WHAT GEORGIA WOMEN THINK
ABOIrT IT

The Georgia Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage issued the following
statement to the Georgia legislature
apropos of a bill proposing to give
suffrage to women:
1--WE wish to draw your attention to
the fact that the great majority of
Georgia women are firmly opposed to
any such amendment, believing that
the disadvantage of political life for
women far outweighs any advantage
that has ever been gained by such in
crease of the electorate.
This association is convinced that
the importance of non-political wO-
men to the state is greater than ever
before, and that they cannot do your
work and their own. They are needed
not only for the highest of all voca-
tions-wife and mother-but for their
disinterested work ir charitable, civic,
educational and other activities. The
people are beginning to see plainly
that it is best to keep these matters
out of politics. but that it can never
be done if all women are put into
politics.
1T is far easier to make good laws
than to make good citizens. DO your
own duty-but do not confine our in
terests within party lines. nor waste
our enegies in political warfare"

wHAT sUFFRAGE MEANS.

"Votes for women" does not mean
merely dropping a piece of paper into
a ballot box. L means women in poll
tics, women on juries, women in the
legislatures, in short, women taking
upon themselves the burden of gov
eminent and giving up the rights,
privileges and exemptions which, as
women and non-voting citizens, they
now enjoy. This would come to all
women, not only to those in favor
of votes for women. All women
would pay the penalty for the adop-
tion of woman suffrage.

That Suffragists do not believe in

is from Secretary Bryan. In his

One of. the great criticisms of the American Government is that political offices are too frequent ly filled by inferior men. whose character and capacity do not properly fit them for the busi- ness of passing just and wise Congress and the State Legisla- lures by playing to the gallery for votes and popularity, and in- stead of helping to pass good laws for the greatest good of the greatest number of people, seek merely to advance their personal power and prestige by advocat- ing laws that ignore fundamental principles of business and are structive in their effect on every body. Class legislation is given in return for political debts, and i special laws are urged favoring r political henchmen or pork bar reT' contractors at home. Such Advantage but are always dis covered and eventually retired Those who have made long, hon. orab1e records in public life were above this type.
