Ballots for Both
in the
Pine Tree State

Hon. John A. Roberts, commissioner
Of agriculture Of Maine, who has long
been a staunch supporter of woman
suffrage. has this to say relative to the
election on Sept. 10. when the men of
Maine will have an opportunity to give
the ballot to the women of Maine:
Il am very much in favor Of the
right Of suffrage being granted to
women on the same terms as men.
AS member Of the House several
years ago and later as member of the
Senate. l voted for the proposition and
have seeen no reason to change my
mind. I certainly shall do all l can to
forward the movement at this time and
hope it will be successful"

Anti Suffrage Violence

The Boston Herald publishes the
following letter:
To the Editor Of the Herald:
Women now have the ballot in %
states Of the Union, and throughout
most of Canada The number of our
suffrage states has risen from - to
20 during the present year. Is it not a
little foolish for the opponents Of equal
rights to hope that the movement can
be seriously checked by the unwise be-
havior Of few picketers at Washing
ton?
In common with the great majority
or suffragists I look upon the picket
ing Of the White House as an ilI-t,rlce1
performance. But wherein does il
constitute an argument against eoual
suffrage?
Is It supposed to show that women
are more violent and lawless than
man? The methods Of the pickets arc
milk and rosewater to those that have
been used by men in pursuit Of self
government on a thousand occasions
from the French Revolution down.
Only the other day 3d. 900 men marched
through the streets Of Budapest de
handing manhood suffrage Much
property was destroyed, and "the riot
ers were dispersed with difficulty by
the police" No one argues the unfit
ness Of all men to vote or even of
those particular men.
Is the picketing supposed to show
that the manners of suffra gists are
worse than those Of anti suffragists i?
1t is very unsafe for the opponents of
equal rights to challenge such a com
parison. There is no need to 20 back

Vienna and Austro- Hungarian society

cost of living has come an increase in
