The Dermott news. (Dermott, Ark.) 1910-1977, 1918-03-28
To the Women Citizens of
Dermott

We want to call your attention to the
fact that under the Brundidge elect
law we must have 1917 poll tax receipts
in order to vote in the Democratic
Primaries in May. We hope that our
Dermott women will not overlook this
and will secure their receipts in time
We know that large majority of our
intelligent, thinking women fully realize
the responsibility that has been placed
upon them and it was very gratifying
to the suffrage workers that so many
woman voted in our recent election.
We hope that the slight prejudice
against women voting which still exists
among a few of our women will soon
be forgotten when they come to realize
that it is their duty as well as their
privilege to exercise the right of
suffrage. We want to purify politics,
not by inaugurating a cut and dried leg
islatlve program. or by sending suffrage
leaders to high political positions, but
by instilling in the average voter,
especially the average women. the high
est possible sense of political RESPONSE
bility. We shall not aim to influence
single woman's vote. But we shall
aim to make the vote of every woman
the clearest and most conscientious ex-
preston of her own convictions that it
can possibly be.
We want every women to look upon
the ballot as right, duty and re-
sponsibility. We want her to under
stand how harmful it is to her and to
society when such sacred privilege is
neglected, bartered away or used to
any ignobe end

One OF the samples of pro-German

those who are helping their brothers

expenses, while other men, of equal
patriotism but with less money, re.
ceive expense money which amounts
to not as much as the soldiers receive,
when maintenance costs are consid-

The war work agencies seek always
the best human material for overseas
work. No grade or rank obtains
among them, and they carry the lesson
of democracy as well as morality and
