UNDER SHERIFF FRANK X. BOWERS,
Republican leader: Il have always
favored tho franchise for women. l
think we shall get an intelligent vote
from them. From n political standpoint
II seems to me that the Republican party
would do well to favor suffrage, for |
believe hat In New York city as well
as throughout the State a majority Of
the women would vote the Republican
ticket.

women would double the Democratic
vote here But look at Chicago. In that
Democratic city, with women voting for
the first time. william Hale Thompson,
Republican, was recently elected Mayor
by a plurality of 12S.000, with all the
newspapers against him.
"As to the chances of suffrage carry
ing the thirtieth district, there is no
aCcurat prediction to be made now.
From my observation l SHOULD say that
the contest If about even. The district

ment.
The women argue that they have a
right to vote. In my opinion suffrage
is not a right II Is merely n means Of
accomplishing certain governmental
ends. IL these ends are not better OBJ
tanned by the extension OF the suffrage
there Is no justification for extension.
AS to the argument that holders OF
property should be allowed to vote l
would remind the s~uffragists that the
suffrage under our form OF government
is not based on property qualifications.
Although those who hold property may
assert with some force that they are
better qualified to vote. still ! should re-
greet TO see introduced into OUT gov
