BALLOTS AND BANANAS.

Some Of the anti-suffrage argu-
ments neutralize each other. They
might "pair;" like q Republican and
a Democrat who want to be absent
during q legislative vote. But. In
stead Of Withdrawing themselves on
both sides. these mutually CONTRA
dictory arguments have perverse
fondness for parading In couples, and
insisting that both shall be received
together.
+ Here is Senator William NJ. Bray,
Of Wisconsin, for instance, who con-
tributes to q Boston Magazine an
article giving an alleged account o!
an elaborte straw vote taken among
the women Of q certain district years
ago, with . result adverse to suffrage
This shows. his opinion, that most
women are opposed to the ballot;
but he Immediately goes on to argue
that 1t should not be given to them,
because once granted, 1t would b.
''irrevocable"! This implies that the
