to the women If a woman from her
home can not inspire man to do his
best how can she expect to do so at
the ballot box? Indeed the record Of
the woman suffrage states is in no way
creditable nor does it bear out any OF
the claims they make
Ponder the question we'll Is there
anything to be gained in yielding to
the clamor of few, breaking down the
barriers of the American home, forcing
the burdens of government onto the
women, the great majority of whom do
not want it, and adding to the already
100 large unused vote, by enfranchising
the women? -
1t is well for every voter to look into
What the leaders of the suffrage move
bent are really advocating, not alone
b North Dakota, but in other states as
1ell. BE not surprised II you find that
:hey have become all things to all men
IN order to gain their end.

De good voters, will she succeed in
training her daughters to be good
roters?
The Hope pioneer., 1914-10-22
WOMEN AND THE RALLoT..

II a referendum Of the women Of
North Dakota were taken and major.
lty demanded the ballot, male voters
would be justified in voting for the suf.
frage amendment. But the fact is that
over 80 per cent Of the women do not
wantrthe ballot as is shown by the fig.
ures from the county auditors offices.
School questions touch women more
closely than any questions of politics
and twenty-five years experience in
North Dakota shows that only eight
women vote at school elections to
every 100 men.
In the six suffrage states of Califor
mia, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho
and Washington the federal census OF
1910 gives S,170,152 voters of legal age.
The total vote in these six states at the
presidential election was 1,521,590, or
47.9 of the voters Of legal age in 1910
voted in 1912.
In the six neighboring states of Kan.
sas, Nebraska, Oregon, Nevada, South
Dakota and Missouri-male suffrage
states in 1912- 1.5S7,9S4 votes were
cast out Of total voting population in
1910 of 2,295,119, or 60. / per cent. In
other words 45 per cent more possible
voters exercised the franchise in the
male suffrage states than in the woman
suffrage states.
1t is impossible to escape the conclu.
sion that woman suffrage either causes
a. lessening of interest on the part OF
the male voters or else the women do
not vote. In democracy one condition
Is as Ceprehensible and dangerous as
the o:her. Seventy-two per cent Of
North Dakota women reside on farms
and only % per cent in villages and
towns. Only 16 per cent of the popu.
lation resides in towns of 1000 or over.
The demand for the ballot is not com.
ing from the women on the farms but
from a small per cent of the women
living in the towns. Because of eco.
nomic and home reasons farmers
wives are not interested. They are too
busy with their families and work.
If the ballot is given to these women
they cannot and will not use it. They
have their children to look after, and
the voting will be done by the women
of the cities and villages. These WON.
en- can hardly be said in any way to
represent the farm women. Their in.
terests and their lives-are different.
Will the interest of the Y per cent
Of women be better cared for by the
votes of the % per cent or by the vote
of the father, brother, husband and son
as at present? There can be but one
answer

These are some Of the great Ameri

they believe in protecting the country

Abraham Lincoln: go for all shar.

William Jennings Bryan: am not

right which exercise myself
Hon. Robert NJ. La Toilette: have

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley: II woman
suffrage were not desirable for any
other reason, it would be worth while
merely because it would ensure better
pure-food legislation
Jane Adams: City housekeeping
has failed partly because women, the
traditional housekeepers, have not
been consulted as to it's multiform ac-

and 1t is expedient, too
Norman Hapgood: The wisdom OF
having women vote has passed beyond

Julia Lathrop: Women suffrage, in.

Louis D. Brandeis: am convinced

Charles Edward Russell: believe

Maud Ballington Booth: All the evils

Rev. William c. Cannctt, Rochester,

UNUSED BALLOTS.

History reveals many instances OF
we'll meaning but misinformed people
who, carried away by enthusiasm, have
done more harm to good causes than
could be undone by hundred men in
q life time of labor.
1t is curious fact Of how, believing
that we are toiling for the good Of the
common veal because it appeals to us
to be so, we overlook and fail to see
the danger points. 1t is so with many
OF the women suffraglsts and their
cause becomes dearer to them than the
rights of others and will even carry
them to such lengths that they will de.
stroy property and break laws.
There is danger in such hysteria, and
especially SO in democracies. History
I reveals that the gravest of all problems
in democracies Is the vote OF the ignor-
interest on the part Of thes intelligent,
giving the opportunity to the dema'
gogue and the gang leader.
Already thinking men are agreed
that the franchise has been extended
too far and that it would be far better
for the republic today had wise prov-
sion been adopted by our fathers to
limit it's extension. go
The unused ballot is causing those
who look beneath the surface to won
der If after all democracy is not fall
ure Yet the woman sutfragists ask
that the men of North Dakota break
down barriers and add still larger
element of the unused vote, for expert
!, c.1, tn
frage state that the majority of women
do not vote and that conditions are not
bettered one whit by woman suffrage.
One of the prominent dentists of Far
go has interviewed over 1900 women
who have come to his office during the
last year for professional services.
They have represented all classes Of
society from the working girl to the
woman with every luxury that money
can provide. OF this number less than
per cent expressed themselves as de-
string the ballot.
Indeed the majority of working wom-
en- regard the question of voting more
as a duty they are exempt from. than as
privilege they are deprived of. They
are shrewd enough to see that where
tuey appear W lue CHA'dlIy VI tHe uleu
they are far better off and are better
taken care of than where they must
get things for themselves:
There is nothing that brings out the
best qualities Of man so much as to
know that there are those depending
on him who expect him to do his y.
Deprive man of this stimulus OF di.
vide the responsibility with woman
and he naturally shirks.
If the men are not to be trusted, If
they have failed as signally- as.the suf-
iragists would have us believe, then let
Us turn the affairs of government. oyer
