ton about the suffrage plank adopted
by the convention clear to you, though
I had not thought it was necessary to
state again a position l have repeat
eddy stated with entire frankness. The
plank received my entire approval be-
fore it's adoption, and l shall support
its principles with sincere pleasure.
l wish to join with my fellow Demo-
Gratis in recommending to the several
States that they extend the suffrage
to women upon the same terms as to
men,"
Vive-P President Thomas R. Marshall
says: II sincerely believe the mothers
of this land should be allowed to vote
on public questions, + 1t is reason
able to infer that the demand of men
and women votes can bring about bet
ter conditions than the vote Of one sex
alone"
Senator R. L. Owen of Oklahoma
says: "One of the strongest reasons,
in my opinion, in favor of m suff-
rage is that it would be an important
factor in putting an end to machine
politics, which have corrupted the gov
erning power of this nation to so large
a degree. $50 There can be no COM
munlty interest between the evil ele-
ments Of the State and the woman's
vote"
Secretary of Treasury McAdoo:
Suffrage may give women the oppor-
'tunity of contributing notably to the
progress of civilization and the ad-
vancement of general welfare. As
the weaker sex physically, they are
entitled to at least an equal oppor-
tunity with the stronger sex, espec-
tally in all that intimately concerns
the welfare of both"
