To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Very sorry that your reporter did
not appear at the Political Equality
club on Monday evening past to get
some inklings from a wonderful speech
made by Mrs. Jansen Haines, CORE
spending secretary of the white Equal
Suffrage club Of this state.
1t took in the mothers sphere of
life and why she should vote. And l
wish to say here that one-third of the
fathers do not vote, l mean of our
race.
They will dodge their poll tax
agents and never seek to know where
their polling places are located.
Isn't it time for the mother to take
G hold? I am not mother myself,
but I can see so much that can be
done by all women if we get chance
to vote.
Our men go so far as to say that if
women get the vote it will lower the
wages of working women and all such
frivolous things like that without any
foundation. Every part of the home,
all of the sanitary or unsanitary con-
ditions of the home and school lies on
the vote. Our men should rally and
push the movement instead of retard-
ing it.
Look at the colored man of the
south. In some portions they would
vote if they had the chance. The
women stand no show at all.
If you read history you will find
that before the civil war white women
of the north helped the instigating of
the abolition crusade. Such women as
Harriet Beecher Stowe and others.
They were the ones who freed our
forefathers.
Why can't our men show due appre-
citation for the glorious gift and help
push our women to the high ranks of
civilization.
Don't let others think more of us
than we think Of ourselves.
Mrs. G. L. Johnson.

cure a new loan of $4,000, but in or
