Woman Suffrage and States Rights

IMPOSITION Of Southern delegates to the
~ convention of the American Woman
Suffrage Association to the plan committing
the association to efforts to obtain the suf-
frage solely through amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, is perfectly comprehensive
in this part of the world.
Without endeavoring to pass on the merits
or dement's Of woman suffrage as a genera |
proposition, it is safe to say that a large
share of Southern criticism and objection
would vanish were it not that suffrage seems
TO involve the addition to the voting popula-
ton of mass OF prejudice and.ignorance, as
well as another mass OF sweetness and light.
Having with some difficulty eliminated the
negro man as factor in politics, the South
ern States. perhaps on the general theory that
the female OF the species Is more deadly
than the male do not view the advent of
the negro woman with any favoring eve
Obviously, the danger to Southern nstitu-
tions would be greater were the suffrage con-
ferred on woman by the national govern
ment, rather than by the individual States

well, and in the opposition they voice 10 the
Federal amendment plan they have the I'M
