Women Voting
Thinks Majority Do Not Want
Ballot He'd Vote Against
Giving 1t.
THE SUFFERING IS SMALL
Miss Hall Says Sufrasists Never Have
Won in Any State Where Sex
Was Equally Divided.
BY MISS FLORENCE r. HALL,


Chairman. Public Interests Committee Pennsylvania
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
The following extracts from an article
on Votes for Women" by former Presi-
dent William Howard Taft. must CON-
mend themselves to every thinking voter:
There is a large body Of women, prob
ably a majority. who do not wish to vote.
and who are opposed to receiving the
franchise. The vigor with which refer
endum to women to decide the issue has
been opposed by the leading advocates of
woman suffrage in New York and Massa-
chusetts supports this conclusion.
Majority wouIdn't Vote.
IF this be true. it furnishes a very
good reason for thinking that the women
voters as whole would nots respond
quickly to the obligation imposed upon
them If the right to vote were given
them, and, therefore, that for consid-
cradle time We should not have in the
actual vote cast by the women the aver
age intelligence Of the entire body OF
women voters. The undesirab bles, espe-
cially women in congested city centers,
would be easily induced to vote.
There are many respectable women of
average intelligence whose interest, how
ever, has not been aroused, who are list
less on the subject, and who would de-
cline to make any sacrifice OF time or
convenience to perform their duty If
given the franchise. In the country dis
tricts. where it takes effort to register
and vote, this is a serious matter even
with men. 1t will be much more OBJ
structive in the case of women. The
women who actively oppose the extension
of the franchise are, many Of them. Of
the most intelligent class. 1t is a sub
stantial reason for delaying the coming
of the ballot for women that more than

ment. But II class does not desire
the responsibility and will not meet that
responsibility by its best average intel
hsence. the reason fails.
IF in any OF the States now acting on
the question / We're called upon to vote ]

because I think to force it on an un-
willing or Indifferent majority Of wom-
en- lacking in needed training and gen.
eral experience is to add to the electorate
an element that will not improve its
governing capacity. The women have
been without a vote for now 125 years
and they have not really suffered by it.
The government has continued to be a
good one"
Public Opinion Opposed.
Had woman suffrage been submitted
to women instead of men. it is doubtful
whether there would be in this country
today a single suffrage State.
1t is significant that the suffragists
have never been able to win a State
where the women are anywhere near
equal to the men in numbers. The aver
age suffrage State has l46 men to ev-
cry 100 women, while the average male
suffrage State has but los men to every
100 women. Wyoming, the Oldest suf-
frage State. has 2l9 men to every 10C
women. and Nevada, the youngest suf-
frage State. has go men to every 100
women-the highest ratio in America
When We reflect that the average ma
jority by which suffrage has been adopted
is less than 5000 votes per State. while the
average majority by which 1t was defeat
ed is over 5000 votes State. and. further
more. that Michigan, Missouri. and Ohio
the only States that ever voted on the
question that are comparable with the
Eastern campaign States this year
each defeated woman suffrage by a
larger majority than the aggregate
pluralities for all eleven suffrage States
combined. We. must conclude that public
opinion Is opposed to woman suffrage
wherever there is normal proportion
of women.

"In olden days we did better than
at present, for we were able to cap

souls. In this fight we had only
eight men killed and fourteen wound
