lion women who want to vote
AT no time in the history of man suf-
frage and in no country has there been
so universal demand for the vote as
among the women of New York. We
note that our opponents. despite the
demonstration which they themselves
must have found among women. are
hammering away at the old objection
To answer the second objection we
secured long ago the testimony of ey-

| and from many other men who hold
positions which would make their word
of value.
To complete the testimony we have
invited prominent men from suffrage
states to come to New York during the
month of October and upon the plat
form Of $50 mass meetings to give their
testimony as to suffrage in actual op-

As soon as we win we shall reorgaIf-
lie for the purpose of training the wo-
men In the new duties of citizenship
which will come to them, and we shall
maintain our nonpartisanship in that
work. We shall not teach women why
they should be Democrats or Republic
ans or why they should belong to one
or the other parties. We shall merely
teach them the functions of citizenship.
the object of our government. the du
ties of various political officers. and we
shall teach them something of Ameri-
can history. and that history will be
certain to include phase not now
taught in the public schools. and that is
the evolution of woman suffrage in
America. We shall teach them the
sacredness of the ballot We shall
teach them that to sell vote or to
buy vote or to get vote by any dis
honest means is a moral crime second |

teach women to read the newspapers |
about all political matters and to learn |
how TO sift and balance and Judge |
whether statements are neutral or OF |
political bias We shall hold civic |
schools all over the state of New York |
for this purpose.
The flaw In the operation of man suf. |

election day and the vote they cast as
the hottest and most religious service

Beauty the Most Env:abIe eift.

Much more backing could be found

enviable gift for woman than for the

horribly ugly man can be really happy,

half an hours start to be match for
