MICHIGAN CHOICE
LEGISLATURE of Michigan Selected
State Constitutional Amend
ment as Method Of Enfran-
chising Michigan Women.
TO BE VOTED ON NOVEMBER S.
On That Day the Voters Will Have an
Opportunity to Open Wide the
state Door" for Michigan
Women.

There are two ways by which The
women of Michigan may be enfran-
chised-onc Is by the So-callcd red
cral route" the other by the state
route" The first means that the two
houses OF Congress 10y two-thlrds
majority in each house must pass

lures OF the IS states fedora sur
frage amendment 10 the Constitution
OF the United States. When this has
been passed the amendment must 20

latures vote yes il becomes law. ma
tion-wide suffrage for women becomes
fact. and the present ridiculous dis
ordinations 10y reason Of which We
man can lose her vote 10y stepping
across IA state boundary fall into the
discard.
That is one way 10y which Michigan
women may be enfranchsed. II seem
ed 10 Michigan women, as Ia other wo-
men. that IL was the right way the
short way, the economical way. But i
small minority OF United States sena-
tors ga against CD have blocked that
way. over and over the opposition 10
the federal suffrage amendment point
ed out in that memorable suffrage de-
bate In the Senate which closed Octo-
Der ] that IL was not woman suffrage
per sc that was being opposed it was
the manner of getting tit was the
federal route
"Women can get the suffrage Ivy the
state route" said the opposition.
"Let them do IL. Let each state take
care of its own women. The state
door is open. Let the women enter
that way, not this"
No one other point was used SO Of
ten and so insistently as an argument
against the federal suffrage amend
ment ON no other did the opponents
OF the amendment fall back so compla-
Gently. Speaking OF no other, did
their faces so unanswerably assume
the expression Of the cat that ate the
canary.
The states can and will give wo-
men the suffrage. Let the women OF
each state go TO that state. The door
is open thus the men who shut the
federal door In the faces OF American
women.
Now come the women Of Michigan
TO their own state seeking that open
door TO which they have been so cava-
lierly waved.
Michigan women have this advaD-
tage-their case goes to court, the
great court OF public opinion, on No

most Of the opportunity TO give Michi-
gan women a square deal.
