Enfranchisement of Women Will Establish

By CARRIE CHAPMAN Gait, President Of International Woman.
Suffrage Alliance
Suffrage Alliance

N the Continental congress of 1774 al extensive discussion took place
as to the source of authority which would enable the colonists to
erect an Independent government. Some thought that authority
could only come from "God and the British constitution" several that
it rested with "God and the land" THE LATTER THEORY PRE-
VAILED, AND THE YOUNG REPUBLIC GAVE VOTES TO LAND
HOLDERS ONLY.
that God gave the white man the inherent right to rule over black men.
Each Of these theories of government in turn was replaced by one which
admitted the falacy of the former and that God had intended to in
ciude in the favored ruling class those newly enfranchsed. Rule by the
divine right of kings has slowly given way to the spread of democracy
until the ruling class virtually includes all men; the subject class all
women. The appeal of women for the vote is met by the historical de-
tense pronounced as insistently at in the days of kings by divine right,
"God has ordained men to rule and women to obey"
IN NEARLY HALF THE TERRITORY OF THE UNITED STATES wo.

established fact. v
