Marnarth Mail: The Mail has ney-
er taken any particular part in the wo"
man suffrage question owing to the
fact that we have had intimate &C.
q~uaintance with both sides Of the
question; but when a crowd of men,
using their foreign nationality as a
basis, plan a state ticket and a state
campaign for the purpose of opposing
woman suffrage, it is enough to make
the most of us sit up n take notice
A bunch Of German voters of OUT state
! have conferred their interests against
woman's suffrage and the prohibition
laws, and when one considers that a
crowd of foreign-born men, many Of
whom have difficulty in reading and
writing the English language, should
take it upon themselves as a body to
| prevent educated and refined native
born women to exercise the privilege
of the ballot, it is high time that we
| take notice. To the native born citi-
| zen it would indeed (not) be q high
favor to go down to Bismarck and
be obliged to cultivate a noticeable for
eign twist to the tongue, in order to
be understood by the governor when
we visit him in his office. The ordi-
nary citizen Believes, in keeping ma
best; but when a certain nationality
invites opposition and insists on in
| jecting their foreign born peculiari-
| ties and notions and habits into every
office in our state house it is about
| time that we take notice.
