The women of oregon are the best,
the noblest. the bravest OF this world
They constitute the wives and widows
of the pioneer men who left their
homes in eastern states. penetrated
the jungles in early days and bore
the hardships and privations inciden-
tai to the carving OF our state out of
wilderness of virgin territory: the
daughters and granddaughters of the
brave men and women before whose
pioneer axes giant forests fell In lay
ing the foundation Of this grand do
main; the women OF other domains
who have come here with the noble
purpose OF making their homes and
becoming a part Of the finest citizen
ship in the world. They are the
cream of womanhood, the salt OF the
earth. the very elect of Divinity. In
intelligence, ideal citizenship. force OF
character, they have no superiors. I
have been over the United States.
have met women of other countries,
have read the history Of other ma
tions, and | have never found, by OBJ
servation or reading, nobler women
anywhere than in oregon; yet, this
world is blest with noble womanhooi
everywhere.
The women Of Oregon know their
people. They know how to vote, how
TO exercise functions OF government,
how to manage their homes. how to
conduct their affairs. how TO raise
their children, how to demean them
selves. They know the years Of ac-
tive. earnest effort on the part of
George f. Chamberlain DR.. c. J.
Smith. and other good men and wo-
men, regardless of partly politics. to
obtain the right of suffrage for them.
They know how to appreciate kindly
acts and noble deeds done in their
behalf ana they are never guilty OF
ingratitude, treachery, or infamy. and
all OF the hired assassinators OF char
acter imported among us can not. in
a thousand years OF vituperative ef-
fort, cause them TO do wrong. to
stab a benefatcor in the back. They
need no hired emissaries from eastern
states to instruct them in matters OF
suffrage or anything else. II Is a |
brazen insult TO their intelligence TO !
have officious Intermediates, import
ed busybodies now among us. en-
jeavoring to tell them how TO vote.
The woman who comes here from
elsewhere TO interfere with our
good women, TO attempt to teach
them how to vote. is certainly pos
sessed of gall, wormwood, brass. and
is unconsciously suffering from
highly developed case Of megalomania
known as swelled head.
The man who aids or encourages such
a woman to come among US is no
gentleman. He. too, insults the in
telligence of the citizenship.
Oregon is not a heather country
1t needs no foreign missionaries. nc
officious Intermediates TO tell its
people how to vote. The women OF
Oregon know whether they want 10
vote for Chamberlain or Booth, Smith
or Withycombe, wet or dry. and they
will exercise their right of suffrage
freely, fearlessly and well. These
emissary women. hired to come TO
Oregon. had as we'll enter our homes
and tell our wives how to cook, how
to keep house how TO raise their
children. as to undertake to tell them
how to vote. Every attempt to do
any one of these things is a gross
insult and should meet with insant
rebuke by our people.
All honor to the noble womanhood
Of Oregonl Republican or democrat
wet or dry, Christian or non-Chris-
tian, it is the crowning work OF ma
ture ana natures Cod the keystone
in the arch of the civilization Of the
world.
