1t was election day noon.

1t was election day noon.
Two hundred laborers, Italians,
Greeks, Slavs, etc., were eating their
cold lunches in the shadow Of the
great steel building, the Hill build
ing, they were erecting in st. Paul.
Some of these Americanized cit
liens had already voted and were
trying to impress upon the others
the wisdom of their selection. With
their mouths stuffed with bread,
they, in their gutteural tones, de-
Tended their champions. Their hands
appeared to be as much a. part of
their speech as their tongues. An
outsider may not have been able to
understand them.
Whether or not the old character
first mentioned or the laborers, were
by voting is. beside the question
They were exercising their constitu-
tional privilege and no advocate of
representative government would
think of denying them the ballot.
'"All men are created equal"
Mrs. Anna Morrison, mother"
Morrison, noble women that she was,
valued her work among the prison.
ers of the state more than she did
her life and passed away week ago,
largely because of overwork. Yet,
this good woman, as well as many
others of similar type, was always
denied the right to vote and there
- possibly secure legislative assistance
for the great work that she was car
rying on.
During the time of the last ses-
sion of the state legislature meet
ing of teachers, club women and
mothers had been called to discuss
proposed legislative enactment con-
corning child education These wom-
en- were vitality interested in the
measure. but none of them had any
voice through the ballot of selecting
those men who were to pass upon
the bill and yet this subject was
much dearer to their hearts than it
possibly could have been to the male
voters.
Whether or not Mother Morri-
son or. the. good ladies mentioned
above, would have been doing this
country real service had they been
given the right to vote is beside the
question. It is, we believe, the in
alienable right of women, be she a
large property owner or the wife
of a laborer, to express her voice by
ballot in, the government of herself,
her family, her city and her country.

: Today the voters of New York,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are
voting on whether or not the, right
of ballot should be given the women
of their states. .--@... =
The women in their appeal to the
men of the states set forth the fol-
lowing facts:
Eve, women Of your state, appeal
to you to enfranchise us.
That we must ask it of you shows
that you are now our masters.
1T lies with you to say whether
your sisters shall stand in political
equality with you or remain subor-
dinate.
you make the laws which govern
us; you decide upon our rights, priv
ileges and duties; you punish us
when we break your laws; you re-
ward us when we please you; you
determine our appointment, hour and
salaries in public office; you give. or
refuse permission to us to marry and
be mothers while serving the chill
dren Of the state as teachers; you
hold all legal and civil power over
us. $50: ~
