The Voice of the PEOPLE
Other Side Of New Jersey Suffrage.

To the Editor Of The Times Dspatch:
Sir,-In your issue Of October 8 appears a
letter condcmning President Wilson's attitude
toward suffrage. and asserting that women In
New Jersey have already been given the ballot
once, and lost 1t because OF cheating al the
polls Without wishing to be ut all personal,
should like to remind your readers that even
th1 devil can quote scripture to prove his point.
and half truth s bad as a direct falsehood
The full facts Of New Jersey suffrage are those:
ny the Constitution OF 1907 the ballot wa.
granted TO widows and single women colored
rs well white.
Before the separation OF Union from Essex
County there was great rivalry between tho
cities or Newark and Ellzabethtown. In 1867
the question OF the location OF proposed court
house reused this feeling to its highest pitch
hardly safe for an inhabitant of either CITY TO
visit the other. Tho question was finally sub
mittcd to the people In elections held In Feb
ruary, 1907. AT first the voting, which extended
over -FOUR days, was perfectly regular, but spies
from Newark discovered that the voting was
going against thom and then the illegal voting
began Men who had voted once voted again
disguised na women; married women voted and
women repeated: men brought the colorcd fe-
male slaves and voted them two and three times
So great was the scandal that tho Ieris,ature
at It's next session. felt called upon IN toks
drastic measures Being n hody of men thcv
decided to let the women hear tho brunt ~ tho
punishment and narrowed the vote to free male
citizens.
If manhood suffrage should be taken awav
whenever II was proved that men had cheat cd
at the polls, very few cities could have elections
at all. Terre Haute would simply not be on tho
political map. NJ n 10

King in such crisis ought to be leader
must be n dummy. but shall not allow 1t to
be written OF me that remained n dummy

There are some reasons for believing that
the King is not entirely in accord with what
has been done on the western front, but that
he expressed himself as quoted may be
doubted. If he did, It is not conceivable that
such statements would have been permitted
to reach the public. 1t is on par with the
