BIG VICTORY FOR SUFFRAGE

Fourteen years ago when an amend
ment to the state constitution grant
ing the franchise to women, was pre-
sented to the West Virginia Legisla-
ture, the proposition was almost unan-
imously defeated. In the legislature
of 1915 the proposition was almost
unanimously carried. only eight mem
bers, one in the Senate and seven in
the House voted against submission
of the amendment to the voters of the
State.
This is remarkable change in SEN
timent The women who have been
agitating the cause of suffrage have
reasons to be greatly encouraged by
the recent action of the Legislature.
If the vote of the Legislature repre-
sents the sentiment of the voters of
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1915-06-01

the State the cause of suffrage will
carry by large majority at the cleo
ton in 1916. But the women OF the
State, will not relax their efforts on
account of this easy victory, on the
contrary they will keep up the fight
until the last vote is cast in 1916.
The women of the State are as well In
formed as the men and are as capable
of taking part in the affairs Of the
State and nation as the men. To deny
the women of West Virginia who bear
the burdens of the homes, and have
in their hands the training and shap-
ing of the lives of our rising genera
tions would be an unmanly and cow
ardly act.
The submission OF the suffrage
amendment to the voters OF the State
is an indication that West Virginia
is keeping in the front ranks of pro
gress and of all things that make for
the good Of society and the people,

EQUAL SUFFRAGE CATCHING

The map of the United States
proves that enfranchising the
women is a natural process. 1t
has spread from State to the
State next door. No bad insti-
tuition could do as it has done.
Eleven contiguous States have
seen that equal franchise is a
beneficent institution. These
States are Wyoming. Colorado,
Idaho, Utah, Washington, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Kansas, Arizona,
Montana and Nevada. Can not
the men of West Virginia see
the matter as naturally as the
men of these western States?

Suffrage a Good Neiahbor.

Every time a western State
has won suffrage for itself it
has helped win it for the States
adjoining. From every State in
which 1t is tried it has crossed
the border into the States near
by, States, that is to say, that
have the best opportunity to
watch suffrage in operation.
From Wyoming it went to
Colorado and to Utah and
Idaho; from Colorado it made
way into Kansas; from Idaho 1t
travelled on into Montana and
into Washington. Oregon lin
gered unpersuaded year too
long, SO suffrage jumped over
her into California. Whereupon
