laws by women other than the working
women was the argument OF Miss Mar
jorie Dorman Of New York, an anti suf-
frage worker who addressed large
meeting at McCranns hall Saturday.
Miss Lucy Price Of the Cleveland Leader
was also one of the stellar attractions
OF the evening.
Both Miss Dorman and Miss Price are
working women; both being newspaper
employees. one in New York and the
other in Cleveland. Miss Dorman ad-
mitted that she was an old maid as we'll
as working woman, but Miss Price
was not so explicit in the point Both
women are able and their arguments
were applauded time and again by the
large meeting OF men and women who
had gathered to hear the question dis
cussed.
There were no frllls on the arguments.
Miss Dorman said IL represent two
types of womanhood-the old maid and
/ the working woman. In the state of
Nebraska 10 per cent OF the women over
20 years OF age are unmarried 10 per
cent of those over 30 years of age re-
main unmarried and 6 per cent of those
over CO. The country then is a married
woman's country as opposed to the great
mass Of unmarried women who have
their own problems and their own cares
| separate and distinct from those of the
married women" said Miss Dorman.
She considered that in the event OF suf-
frage being granted to women in Nebraska
the married women will vote with their
husbands In which event the social better
ment which the suffragists say they aim
at can just as well be carried out by the
men alone. II they vote against their
husbands the vote OF one will nullify
that of the other and the control Of things
will be vested in the hands OF bachelors
of whom as governing body exclusively
Miss Dorman did not appear to be overly
enthusiastic.
Miss Dorman called attention to the
fact that she was temperance worker
and had been known as such for many
years. She said she mentioned the fact
TO anticipate the sneers of the suffra-
gettes who branded every anti as a
brewery worker.
Duties of Man and woman.
Miss Lucy Price said that the women
were interested in two things: the MAX
ing Of better race and better world
The big problem she said was the high
cost OF living. This she considered the
woman's business in the home. She ar
gued that each, the man and the woman
had special duties in home life, in making
the home. II political duties are thrown
on women she asked how the balance
was to be maintained in the upkeep OF
the home.
or the social betterment Miss Price
expressed the belief that the suffragettes
were abandoning the argument as being
absurd in view OF actual facts. What
is possible to women in the way of re.
form is possible to men Both were
subject to the influences of human nat
ure and both were capable OF good O,
evil. Neither had a monopoly on the wis
dom OF virtues OF the race. The speaker
were accorded a very fine reception. The,
