West Virginia Suffrage Work
erS Wage Dignitied Cam
paign for Amendment.

The equal suffrage issue has been
placed before the voters OF this state
solely upon its merits, There has
been little complaint regarding ;he
operation Of the laws Of the state, and
throughout their campaign the women
have urged that suffrage be extended
to them as right and as step 20
wards government by and of the
people"
III you bcliyo in democracy, you
bellve in woman suffrage" the SUI
fraglsts have argued, and the absence
Of personalities throughout the cam
paign makes the coming vote on the
suffrage amendment purely and solely
test OF democracy. That women arc
people" there is not the slightest
doubt, nor can there be any doubt that
the women OF West Virginia are en-
titled to participation in the govern
ment under which they live and to
which they contribute their time and
taxes. Equal suffrage is the next step
in democracy and it remains to see
whether West Virginia voters will de-
termIne to take this progressive step.
Every voter, as he goes to the polls,
should remember that the men in the
equal suffrage states have the major
ity vote and could undo suffrage at any
time. Not one single effort has been
made to repeal woman suffrage, and

HEAD OF SUNDAY
SCHOOL SPEAKS
State Superintendent Arnold
Makes Notable State
ment for Equal Suffrage.

One of the greatest Instruments
for good in the state is the West Vir-
ginia Sunday School Association.
With departments devoted to every
sort Of moral advancement and with
membership that is statewide its
leaders must OF necessity have given
deep thought to the subject of equal
suffrage. 1t is therefore no surprise
to learn that Secretary A. 7. Arnold is
outspokenly in favohof the pending
amendment. Mr.. Arnold's reasons as
written and signed by him follow:
Suffrage is on the way. When the
movement has been nationally sue
cessful, men who have been wise
enough and broad enough will be
proud of the fact that they helped
and their children in after years will
be glad to tell Of the part they took
in bringing about this needed change,
as often tell of the effort made by
my ancestors in bringing about re-
forms of the past which have made
our country a brighter, better place
to live.
Woman must be the home maker,
and as wife and mother she YIELDS
a mighty influence, but in addition to
making the home nearest to the type
Of heaven that can be found upon
earth, her influence may well be ex-
tended, as it is being done where she
has been granted suffrage In making
the outside world better place for
her children to dwell. This service
in no way interferes with her efhcien-
cy as home maker.
Just as the Bible was used IN an
endeayor to prove that slavery was
right, so 1t is today being used in
a futile endeavor to prove that wom-
am suffrage is wrong, but the man
who reads the Bible, understanding
the social conditions Of that day, Will
not only understand the necessity for
such admonitions as were laid down,
but will conclude the the same prin-
ciples upon which these scriptural ad-
monitions were based, will give wom-
er full right to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the noble manhood OF
today in making the world a cleaner
safer and happier place.
Napoleon said: Find out what
your enemies want you to do and
then don't do It," The enemies OF
childhood and womanhood do not
want suffrage. BY this do not mean
that all who oppose suffrage are the
avowed enemies of womankind, for
some good men and even women hon
estly oppose it.
The unspeakable Turk in his har-
EN- would oppose suffrage; the sweat
shop keeper who pays suffering wom-
anhood and childhood a mere pittance
for wage and makes 1t impossible
for thousands to make a respectable
living by his methods, would oppose
it, as would the adulterated food pro-
duCers and vendors.
Let no thoughtful man say that
suffrage would degrade his wife,
mother, sister or sweetheart, or that

West Virginia Federation

Of Suffrage.

Organized labor Of West Virginia
stands solidIy behind the movement
for equal suffrage in the state, AMI
will lend its aid in bringing about that
end at the coming election in Noyem-
Der.
Particularly is this true of the State
Federation of Labor, which at its
last convention not only endorsed the
movement, but pledged the individual
support OF its membership to the
cause.
The stand taken by this organization
Of the workers of the state means
much for the success of the move

tit more by it than any other, and for
this reason, aside from the manifest
fairness OF the proposition, it has

Women Ask Franchise
AS Their Equal Right

surely some state would have had
sense enough to attempt to abandon IT.
IL suffrage were failure,
Here are some facts for the voters
to remember:
The home should be represented in
the making OF laws, relative to the
schools, better roads, better transpOr-
talion facilities for farm products, In
proyement of the moral atmosphere Of
amusement places, better public IL
braries. moral standing of public off,
Gals ability Of the candidates for the
legislature to represent the Interests
of women and children, the age u
protection for girls, and the wise eS-
pcnditure Of tax money
That the women should have some
thing more than an advisory capacity
in municipal governments.
That West Virginia women are Just
as intelligent and are just as good Cit
nelas as the men Of West Virginia, and
that they are fully the equals Of the
women in the suffrage states who en-
Joy the rights of citizenship.
That women should not be clasSed
with the insane, criminals and Others
unfit to exercise the right of suffrage.
Remember that suffrage will NOT
increase taxes. -af
That under the laws Of West Wiz
ginia, women CANNOT serve on 1lr-
les.
That under the laws of West lr-
ginia women CANNOT pay poll tax,
That the rights Of full citizenship
will NOT injure the home, but rather
give it more power to protect itself
