whether the 1900, 900 women Of Penn

First, we must remember that the
women themselves have not been al

referendum to the women alone.
Therefore, II remains to the men to

On the face of it. 1t would seem
that if the suffragist are content to
let men alone decide whether they
shall vote or not: if they insist that
the franchise question Is too momentous
to be left to the women-is there any
other question Of detail in the exer-

logically adduce as having to be de-
