SUFFRAGE LOOMS LARGE AT
The CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

enjoy their natural rights as that the
eyes wish Hight o. the lungs an At
mosphere.
Il know that at the very mention Of
the political rights Of women there
arises In many minds q dreadful vision
| OF q mighty exodus OF the whole fe-
| male world In boomers and spec
tAcles from the nursery and kitchen
to the polls II seems 70 be thought
that II women practically took part In
politics the home would be left . howl
ing wilderness Of cradles and Q chaos
Of undarned stockings and buttoniess
shirts. But how Is It with men9 Do
they desert their workshops, their
ploughs and offices to pass their time
at the polls? The pursuits OF men in
the world TO which they are directed
by the natural aptitude Of sex and to
whrh they must devote their lives are
a. foreign from political functions as
those Of women
There is nothing moro Incompatible
with political duties In cooking and
taking care Of children than there IL
In digsinS bitches or making shoes,
or IN any other necessary employment,
while In svery superior interest Of
society growing out Of the family the
stake Of women 10 not less than mon,
and their knowledge 10 greater.
There - fraud IN tho Legislature:
there 10 corruption IN the courts:
