dous wealth. Now is the time when
the women OF North Dakota ought to
begin to vote, because in the wake
Of wealth comes vice; in the wake OF
vice comes corporations, and some
one, you know, has said, After cor
porations come barbarism and his
tory with all her volumes vast will
have but one page And the only
way by which we am counteract the
influences of vices which follow in
the wake of wealth is to give to the
people who have been a power in
building up the state the power to
defend and protect it. And the great
fear in every country, you know, ON
election day is not the substantial
home making vote of the men of the
communities, but the floating, shift
ing vote that can be used here and
here and here, wherever a surplus is
needed. And the only way you can
keep the government of your states
or the government of your towns in
the hands of the men who are build
ing their homes there, in the hands
Of the people who erect the school
houses and the churches, who keep
up the social and moral life of the
community, is by putting the ballot
in the hands of the women, so as to
double the home-making, home
building vote of the community, and
overcoming the shifting and moving
populations who come in here.
Answers Opponents.
Our friend will be here in a few
days to tell you the faults of voting.
She will tell you it will destroy the
home. She doesn't say exactly how,
except women will neglect their
homes and families if they vote. We
have heard from our grand fathers.
and our great grand fathers that the
most desirable thing for a woman is
a home; that she will do anything to
get a home; that she will lay all
kinds of traps to get a home. Isn't it
a remarkable thing that a woman
who will do anything on earth to get
a home can only be kept there by
making it impossible for her to ever
get out? Our friend says If she votes
she will desert her home, neglect
her family, forget to love her hus-
band and leave her children, and she
will go to the polls on the first day
Of January and stand there for ten
hours a day-nothing to do but vote
ten hours a day, three hundred and
sixty-five days in the year, and you
couldn't get her home to save your
neck.
But before that woman gets
through telling you that You will
neglect your homes, she will tell the
men, and bring statistics to prove it,
that it will be no use to give women
the right to vote because they
wouldn't use it anyhow. If we
wouldn't use it, I can't see the harm
of giving it to us and if we wouldn't
use it how will We neglect our fami-
lies and break up our homes. Logic

ADDRESS OF

Verbatim Report Of Suffrage Ad-

fOloW1ng is a stenographic report
OF Dr. Anna Howard Shaw's address
OF Friday evening. Owing to lack OF
space only half Of the address can be
given in this issue, and the remain

thing that has not been done before,
to go in a direction in which no one
has ever wandered, them in a NOM
ent fear begins to take possession OF
us, and we wonder what will happen.
There never has been a progressive
movement which has not been him
dered by the fear of the unknown,
and that is true of our movement,
perhaps, and every movement in re-
gard to the progressive development
OF women more than anything else.
Every possible argument which is
brought against the enfranchisement
of women was brought against wom-
ems higher education and against
women, having the opportunity and
the right to earn a living, and
against women having the right to
have a profession. Now it isn't be-
cause there is any o. argument
against women suffrage than any
other progressive steps which women
have taken, but every movement and
every bit of deelopment which has
come to women has been won in an
altogether different way. If We could

a profession or a trade we would all
have had the ballot long ago. 1t was
not necessary in order to get an ed
ucation to convert all the men and all
the women into believing in higher
education. All that women had to do
who wanted a college education was
to find some one college whose
founder had a broad conception OF
human right and justice and who put
no barrier into the charter of that
college against the admission of
women, and to find a board of trus-
tees, a few educated and developed
men, who willing that women
should enter college. One woman and
a Droad-minded board of trustees, the
first woman that entered college
made it possible for women to enter
colleges, and they entered it. If we
would have had to have submitted to
a vote Of all men the question Of
whether we wanted to 60 to college
the same argument would have been
urged which is urged against giving
us the ballot today. Men would say,
why should women go to college?
All women don't want to 60 to col
lege. Therefore, we will allow no
woman to go to college until all
women want to go to collge.
American Men.
But the one most beautiful thing
about the American men is the con-
sistency of their inconsistency. All
the way down they have abided by it
by claiming that we have a great and
beautiful republic, when we never
had a republic since this country
was developed. ALL we have been do
ing has been to try to develop or
evolve a republic out of a monarchy.
haven't gotten there yet, but we
are getting there, and every progress
sive step We have taken has brought
a little nearer to it. Take any
dictionary or encyclopedia on defini-
lions and find out what a republic is,
and you will find that it is a form Of
government in which the laws are
made by representatives elected by
the people. Now when did the people
Of North Dakota ever elect represen-
in the government? Never.
The men Of North Dakota elected
your representatives, and l grant you
that men are able and capable, as

is one Of the things that escapes the
attention Of the noted anti-suffragist.
Doubling the Vote.
The next argument they give you
is that If women vote they will vote
exactly as their husbands do and
will only doubleNthe vote. Everybody
knows that that isn't true. If 1t were
true, If every man believed his wife
would vote just as he wanted her to,
do you suppose we would have to
have another woman suffrage meet
ing.
When this woman tells you it is
only doubling the vote it shows how
little she knows Of what a vote is.
What is q vote? Doesn't a vote re-
present something that has gone be-
fore the vote was cast. Doesn't that
vote signify among intelligent human
beings that every person who cast it
has been thinking about the subject
upon which they vote; that the per-
son who cast the vote has been dis
cussing the question with somebody
else. Where one person casts a vote
for two, you have got but one person
interested. Where each person casts
his own vote you have two persons
discussing the question. You have
done something besides doubling the
vote. You have doubled interest,
doubled devotion, doubled patriotism,
doubled the highest ideals of citizen
ship.
Using the Ballot.
| believe our good friend is goins
to give you statistics and among,
them will be statistics to show that
the women of North Dakota haven't
used the ballot they have, therefore,
they should not be given the other. l
wonder how many men would take
the pains to register If they could
only vote for schools IN a ballot
about six inches long while the
men were voting for everything or a
ballot six feet long.
We women have to pay taxes and
have to support the government just
you giving us by giving us the bal
lot? Is the ballot a burden, OF Is 1t a
lever by which you lift the burden OF
government from us and make things
easier to better for themselves. We
women bear the burdens of govern
ment and should share it's privileges

worlds story, a topic Of conversation wher-

They wonder why, simply because most

not enough to real, homespun accomplish
