The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-03-08

1ne hundred thousand women have
founded an organization to demand
their rights and have sworn never
to marry unless their prospective hus-
bands agree to support a movement
for obtaining for them equal treat
ment with men, matrimonially and
morally, and an improved economic
position.
India boasts a we'll defined suffrage
movement with some good working
organizations, like, the notable one
at Mussoorie. Women in Bombay and
Bagoda have the municipal suffrage,
and Hindu, Mohammedan, Parsi and
Buddhist women have voted in the
municipality Of Rangoon, in Burmah,
for thirty years.
The women Of Argentina, while
stil1 far from the vanguard of the
woman movement, are waking up to
modern possibilities. Today, many Of
them are working as heads Of large
humanitarian societies, which they
have organized to help women and
children. They have taken the first
step. The second step m when
the women think a little further and
endeavor to prevent the wrongs they
see by demanding q voice in law
making.
A clause has been added to the
revised constitution of Holland max
Ing women eligible to all governing
Offices and giving them a chance to

ment in power will grant 1t.

Among the representations
claimed as conclusively proved Ivy
the woman vote, the chief has
been that the western woman is
indifferent to her eastern sisters
enfranchisement, as shown by her
prediction for Mr.. Wilson in
spite Of Mr.. Hughes's pronounced
commitment in favor Of the Fed
eral suffrage amendment. 1t is
in regard to this aspect Of the
question that the testimony on file
at the national suffrage headquar-
ters is of particular interest.
This testimony comes from every
suffrage state in the Union, and from
it leaps the insistence that, whichever
way they voted, the IN were not,
in their own conviction, turning a odd
shoulder upon suffrage. Some voted
for Hughes, some for Wilson, but it
would seem that in casting up
chances, SO far as the amendment
was concerned, the woman voter
showed a disposition to rest her faith
on achievement rather than on
promise. Mr.. Hughes had come out
for the suffrage amendment, but he
was appraised as a late comer-out.
Mr.. Wilson's earlier conversion to
suffrage and actual vote for suffrage
and actual grip on his party weighed
heavily in his favor. There was, also,
q conviction that Wilson could handle
a reluctant party better thSp it could
be handled under a Republican ad-
ministration, itself not committed to
nationwide suffrage as a party meas
ure.
A Kansas woman sums up the in
dications thus: MANY of our women
voted for Wilson because he voted for
suffrage in New Jersey and because
If elected for a second term he could
do more for suffrage than in the first
when his party had been so opposed"
An Oregon woman declares that she
worked for the return of President
Wilson as hard as she could and Il
never failed to emphasize on every
occasion that President Wilson voted
for suffrage and that l heard him say
In Atlant1c City tnaL III the emu We
would not quarrel about method. l
for one shall be greatly disappointed
If the Federal amendment does not
pass during the next administration"
women here" writes a Nevada
woman, ARE rejoicing ove having
cast their first ballot and are more
anxious than ever that all women
should have the same right"
And a California woman who voted
for Hughes points out that it is a
signal fact that in only n state
could the woman's vote be separately
counted, and in that state they voted
for the candidate who was o%utspoken-
~ in favor of the Federal amendment.
What an Idaho woman says about
the fear Of r%eactionary forces is voiced
by not a few. "As many Republican
men as Republican women voted the
Democratic ticket this a for the
sole purpose of getting rid Of the
gang The political pot needed
cleansing"

Testimony From Women Voters Collected by the National

Why did she do it and what will she do next are the two
questions oftenest on men lips, whenever and wherever their atten-

that the woman voters pre- and election performances held mems
