dent Of the national body opposed
to equal suffrage and his reply is OF
much interest. The reply reads:

have fairly good knowledge of the
character of womanhood in West
Virginia and l am strongly in favor
Of granting to the women OF my
state the right Of suffrage. l don't
know much about the women OF New
York, but / do know that women of
West Virginia, as an average, Will
rank above the men in morality and
education. They are certainly the
equal of the men from the standpoint
of intelligence. and / have found it
is always safe to place them on the
side of every movement for civic i'm
provement and human uplift. / have
found them most interested and in
formed on most public questions and
| have also found them interested in
the home and in every phase OF
home-life to the extent of desire to
participate in the elections where
men are selected to make laws and
enforce them. l think mother has
as much right to express her views
on questions which govern the con-
ditions under which her boys and
girls are to be reared, as the father
has and she Is certainly as much, II
not more interested, in all these
questions.

will undertake the classification OF

pose woman suffrage, you will find

every political crook, every man who
undertakes to manipulate elections,
every white SLAYER every saloonkeep-

seen. They fear woman's vote and
their fear Is we'll grounded.
