There is some uncertainty in the

evenly divided on the subject SAID

portion in each party are in tho dry.
Not all candidates have replied TO

ran to respond are known to be dry
Most of those who fail to answer are
put down as wet. The temperance
workers list Lieutenant Governor

Should Women Vote.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
In June, 1899, lady requested me
to present the petition for equal SUI
frage to the county officers for their
signature. I presented the petition
first to the county treasurer. He
said: mo, Doctor, / believe the
place for women is at home
While he was talking to me his
daughter was busily at work on the
books. She made good deputy
treasurer.
Stepping across the hall, to the
clerks -ve, / asked the woman in
charge II the office:
Where is Sherman
'NOh, he is down town"
Going back to the recorders Of
flee, / asked the lady in charge:
Where is John?"
ooh, he is down town, somewhere
/ found them down town. 1t is not
material to this question where I
found them-neither of them believed
in woman voting. THAT should be
left to us men," In 1899, we had a
very competent deputy treasurer,
clerk and auditor I predict that next
year it will be hard to find an Of
ficer in Iowa, who will not claim
Susan B. Anthony as his patron
saint
