The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1916-10-11

That may be the kind OF man ants
like to live with. but not the kind Of
man we like to live with.
Time for Voting.
When / was in debate, said one
day: 1t only takes about ten min
utes to vote; II only takes my father
five, and women COULD spare at least
twenty minutes a year. She said !:
Yes, that Is what all the suffragIsts
think; but II you have to prepare to
vote 1t takes you longer than twenty
minutes" But you don't have to
prepare between the house and the
ballot box, and / have seen men who
did. You should prepare while you
are at home; II you can't do that you
had better stay at home.
was in a campaign in Nebraska,
at the home OF n lady who was not a
suffragist, but her husband was, and
she came and held up to me tiny
baby and said: This is my Job. +"
And ! said: Has your husband Il lob +?
She replied: "Oh yes, he Is president
OF a bank" But / said, your hus-
bend told me he was going to vote.
Yes, she was very keen about lt-he
has to leave his banking Job to vote
doesn't he. and your Job Is your baby
and you can take your job right with
you.
This is my life's service, my rellg-
ious duty, and gave my life to It,
that and other women, and that
men, may be free. am paying my
own expenses; do not accept one
cent from anybody.
They have asked me who would
take care of the children whom
women voted. You would suppose
that when a woman has rocked the
cradle she would keep right on rock
Ing the cradle, and men would say In
their deep vOices-and how we loved
to hear them say It,: THE hand that
rocked the cradle Is the hand that
rules the world" 1t is not the hand,
Of course, that rocks the cradle; It is
the feet; but we say the hand be-
cause 1t would not sound nearly SO
nice to the feet that ruled the
world" So I thought / would find
out and went to Denver. Colo, be-
fore the last presidential election,
and saw that probably four ont of
Ave women do their own homework
and care for their own children.
When woman went down street or
to the postoffice, she always
tumbled the baby along In the cart.
Baby Not In Way.
And when election day came, the
women put the same baby in the same
go-csrt and tImbled It along to the
polls; so that II you met woman
you would not know whether she was
going to the polls or to the postoElce.
And when they got to the polls and
stood in line to vote, the baby was
restless, as babies viii be when you
stop with them-they want TO keep
going-so the woman joggled It. and It
didn't know the difference between
going and being toggled. And whom
the woman went to cast her vote, II
there wasn't neighbor to hold the
baby, there was always the candidate.
You can always get moro help to take
care Of baby on election day than
any other day in the year. So II for
nothing else than to gel somebody to
help the tired mother 10 take care Of
her baby on election day, It would be
good thing to give women the bal
lot.
/ understand that an anti speaker
here told q woman who voted. who
was called on a jury, and she had a
baby and the baby cried. So II You
women vote you will ali, be called on
Jury at the same time and your ba-
bies will all cry, heard that and
saw 1t in the paper. but paid no at
tention to it until / actually heard II
