Constitutionalists, diplomats and Off

SECRETARY BRYAN
FOR SUFFRAGE
Will Support Proposed Nebras-
kan Amendment.
VOTE Is MOTHERS RIGHTS
Secretary Declares Woman Has Proved
Herself Equal To Every Re-
sponsibIity imposed On
Her.
VOTE Is MOTHERS RIGHTS

Washington, D. C.-Secretary Bryan,
in formal statement, came out for
woman suffrage. He declared that he
would ask no political right for him.
self that he was not willing to grant
his wife, and announced his intention
of supporting the proposed State con-
stitutonal amendment extending the
franchise to women to be voted upon
in Nebraska next November.
Woman, Mr.. Bryan said, had proved
herself equal to every responsibility
imposed upon her, and would not fail
society in this emergency Above all
other arguments in favor of giving her
the ballot he placed the right of the
mother to voice in the molding of
the environment of her children. The
mother" the Secretary said, "can
justly claim the right to employ every
weapon which can be made effective
in the protection of those whose inter
ests she guards, and the ballot will
put within her reach all of the in
strumentalities of government, includ-
ing the police power"
viii Vote For Amendment
The statement. in part, follows:
THE voters of Nebraska will, at the
election next November, adopt OF re-
ject proposed amendment extending
suffrage to woman on equal terms with
men. AS citizen of that State, it
will be my duty to participate in the
decision to be rendered at the polls.
| have delayed expressing an opinion
on this subject, partly because | have
been seeking information, and partly
because my time has been occupied
with national questions upon which the
entire country was acting, but now
that the issue is presented in my State
take my position. shall support the
amendment shall ask no political
rights for myself that am not willing
to grant to my wife.
AS man and woman are co-tenants
OF the earth and must work out their
destiny together, the presumption is on
the side of equality Of treatment in all
that pertains to their Joint life and
Its opportunities. The burden of proof
is on those who claim for one an ad-
vantage over the other in determining
the conditions under which both shall
live. This claim has not been estab-
lished in the matter Of suffrage. On
the contrary, the objections raised to
woman suffrage appear to me to be in
valid, while the arguments advanced
In support of the proposition are, in
my judgment, convincing"
