A woman who lives in a State where
women have partial suffrage, recently,
when showing a suffrage map to a
Maine woman, pointing to the map.
Maine?" And / want to call the at
tention of the men and women gather
ed in our State capital to study how
best to Develop Maine" that there is
something the matter with our State
that must be remedied before we can
be called a truly progressive State.
You are here to consider how Maine
can he advanced materially, how her
agriculture, her water power. mineral
resources, fisheries, and miscellaneous
industries can best be developed. All
this is desirable in the highest degree,
but even more than material advance
ment does the State need to give her
attention to the moral and social pro-
blems that confront society today.
Surely the women of Maine are even
more interested than the men in all
the questions that vitality affect the
home and the best interests of the
children, and by depriving them of the
ballot the State loses the direct in
f1uence of large body of intelligent
citizens.
AT a great National Suffrage Con-
vention in Washington, I attended a
meeting of the National Mems League
for Woman Suffrage. The speakers
were nearly all from Suffrage States
and they We're unanimous in express
ing the opinion that woman suffrage
was a success and in urging its adop-
ton by other states. One speaker
said. "Woman's influence minus the
ballot is great, but woman's influence
plus the ballot is one hundred per cent
greater"

y leading public man in our own
state has recently said:
I will do all l can to forward the
cause of coed government which
means the ballot in the hands of wo-
men"
One of the reasons why Alaska gave
full suffrage to women was that more
women were needed in the territory
ard it was thought they would be
more likely to come if they could have
equal political rights with men. l oft
en- receive letters from women who
formerly lived in Maine and are now
living in suffrage states asking why
we were so far behind other states IN
giving the franchise to women
know one young woman. orllllant
lawyer, who graduated from Corhei
with highest honcrs, who would have
stayed in Maine if women had pos
sessed the ballot, but sho would not
stay where she could not vote and so
she located in Colorado where she has
occupied many important positions. In
losing her we lost a very desirable CIT
izen.
BOYS and girls receive the same
training in our schools and more girls
graduate than boys, yet only the lat
ter can become active citizens Wheh
they reach the proper age we IAN III
efficiency, by this as the state does not
get its fun return for the money eX-
pended in schools.
We believe the men of our State
appreciate the value of their women
citizens and that they will at the frst
onnortunitv remove their political dls-
abilities and then we can say Win an
our hearts: There is nothing the mat
ter with the dear old State of Maine.
