ANT|-SUFFRAGE
Four Speakers at Sun
day Meeting at Opera
House

An anti-suffrage meeting, which was
fairly we'll attended, was held at tie
City Opera House Sunday afternoon
at o'clock Following several selec-
tons by the orchestra the meeting
was called to order by s. l.. Berry
with Mrs Martin F. Bartlett, Mrs. D.
B. Cragin, Charles Mclean, who has
been in charge of the anti-suffrage
campaign in this city, Mrs. Elizabeth
Ford of Boston and Miss Lucy Pierce
of New York present upon the plat
FORM
Mr. Berry said that he was proud of
the fact that he had been allowed to
preside at this meeting which was for
the purpose of protecting the homes
of the state. He then took up the let
ter of Governor Milliken in last FRI
days Kennebec Journal in favor of
equal suffrage and President Wilson's
endorsement of the same.
Mr. Berry introduced as the first
speaker Mr.. Mclean of Iowa. who
said he had lived under woman suf-
frage and would tell how it worked
He then told of the steps being TAX
en- in Iowa in order to vote on the
subject later. He said that suffrage
workers there did not want the mat
ter left to the women. He then re-
ferred frequently to Mr.. Pattangalrs
address last Sunday and said that he
failed utterly to prove his case and
that what he said would have been
repudiated by Mrs. Gait as she did
not believe that intelligence was
necessary.
The first speaker was Charles Nc
Lean of Iowa, who spoke of his ex-
perience in states under woman suf-
frage. He laid great stress on the
point that If suffrage was granted it
would give the vote to the ignorant
women and to the Negro women of the
South.
Mr.. Mclean said that but one man
of eminence has ever said anything in
favor Of woman suffrage, John Stew
art Mills: his love for his wife made
him do it. All others who have said
anything in favor of it have done so
for political expediency.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ford of Boston ask
ed why not narrow this discussion
down to this. that the suffragists say
their place is in politics and the anti
suffragists believe their place out Of
politics?
Continuing she said: I'VE NAV
come to serious question Of govern
, ment and no man or woman has a
right to treat it other than seriously
This is masculine age and the ma =
ton that allows women to take charge
means the destruction of the nation.
All anti-suffragists believe that wom-
en- are not class but a sex and that
interest OF men and women do NOT
ciash' The men Of each group repre-
sent the women Of each gro1p and "a
give women the vote simply duplicates
the vote
L believe that the perpetuitv of orr
democracy rests on sex difference.
'ur democracy is safe and we can
make the world safe. If YOU want 70
save your state vote no on Monday"
The last speaker was Miss Iuc,.
Pierce Of New York. who said that all
advances in government had been
mace in mems suffrage states.

Mrs. Hale Sees Light Vote
Mrs, Clarence Hale Of this city,
chairman of the Maine Association
Opposed to Suffrage for Women, to-
night said:
The anti suffragists of Maine are
confident that the sentiment of the
State is with them. If they do not
win the election. it will be because
the men fail to go to the polls. The
suffragists have made hard fight
and have left no stone unturned to
secure a victory. They know it will
be crushing blow to their cause to
lose the state Of Maine. If they do
they must accept the fact that the
East does not wish nor intend to
change the character of the electorate.
The present is no time for political
experiments. The vote is likely to be
light"
