The Other Side.

| Speaking for the large majority OF
women in Webster City and 'Hamil
ton county, who do not wish to vote
and from whom so little is heard
there are several reasons why their
stand is taken To begin with as sc
aptly written in an editorial of the
Register and Leader few days ago
much has been accused but nothing
has been proven that the anti-suf.
frage association is supported by. the
saloon keepers, brewers, etc, of the
land. Enough women are strongly
opposed to the ballot in the state
who could meyer be bought by the
liquor interests.
Some of these women were peace
fully pursuing their vacations
whether in home or the business
world with neither thought nor de-
sire for part in suffrage struggle,
until the undignified din was
brought into their own door yards
and there became no such thing as
neutrality. These women opposed to
suffrage, of whom it has been said,
Nobody knows them!" began an
earnest search for the results Of suf-
frage in states which have received
the ballot and have had it long
enough to try it out. Illinois has
been most recently in the limelight
of disguised readers with it's bad
woman vote far in excess ofNthe good
women, who would not go to the
polls at the last election.
At Berkeley, CAL, April IL, 1918,
for the issuance Of bonds for play
grounds which were defeated only
about 1900 Of the 5000 women of
the city voted. The mayor, who had
been a Jealous worker for woman
suffrage, reprimanded the women
for their negligence of this particu-
lar issue which of all others should
interest them. In newspaper arti-
Gle he asks, where Were the Moth
ers?" Berkeley had 1901 more
women than men over 81 years Of
age, according to the previous U. S.
census.
Where were the women of Web
ster City at the last school election
of Dec. 81, 1915? Out of more than
1000 women of voting age, there
were, 46 who braved the bitter cold
wind on that day and cast their vote.
OF the more than 200 male voters
in the city there were 365 who vot-
ed upon the issue, and yet women
are more vitality interested in the
schools than the men. Women have
been able to vote, upon schoolhouse
bonding issues for years in Iowa, yet
where were the women~in the school
election of May 9, 1911, in Webster
City? Upon the question of the is
suance of bonds for a new high
school building there were 242 male
votes cast and women of the city cast
So, yet the number of voting wom-
en- outnumbers the men. If women
will not vote upon school questions

ETC., in constant use.

night in the Sayings Bank for the.

the board. President Perry appoint

er the purchase Of a lot owned by F.

The new secretary was instructed
to confer with the outgoing secretary
and procure deed from Mrs. F. e.
Wilson in order to present clear
title to both the spade factory and
the skate factory. This will un-
doubtedly be done this month, SO
building operations may begin at
once. There are 500 back taxes to
be paid upon the lots already owned
by the league and this amount, to-
gether with that necessary for the
purchase of adjoining ground. will
be solicited soon from the business
