plain that the "antis" believe that the
modern woman has enough burdens
now without assuming the obligations
of politics
MANY millenial promises are made
by advocates Of woman suffrage" said
Miss Chttenden, but do not make
the mistake OF thinking that woman
suffrage will bring about prohibition
Then the speaker pointed out that

woman suffrage at the polls, and that
Montana and Nevada, two wet
states, voted for woman suffrage.
