Then there is the religious division, It
being spread about Maine that the Irish
Catholic vote would be against it. If
there Is any person on earth who should
vote for suffrage it should be an Irish
man. He should be In favor OF It because
his people are making the same fight.
AS a Catholic it has been only short
time that he could vote in many states
and they should help in the matter.
In the Legislature Of 1915 a young
Catholic Irishman representing the
town Of Houlton spoke for woman's
suffrage. The vote to women would be
Of great value to the state. Every per-
son, man or woman should take some
part in government. The balance Of
power in this state today Is held by a
class of voters who should not have
the right to vote. The political fight
in Maine Is down to whom will get the
bun. Throw into the scales the votes
of 10000 women and my proposition
is to be so as to attract the vote Of in

tiers and daughters were going to vote
We should have clean elections, and a
