SUFFRAGE WILL SAVE
Us FROM SOCIALISM

Senator James e. Watson, United
States Senator from Indiana, who pilot
ed the Federal Suffrage Amendment
through the victory in the early days OF
the present Congress. acknowledged he
was not always in favor OF giving wo-
men the vote, thought he saw the light"
long before the eleventh hour and has
since then steadfastly champloned the
cause. His conversion" Is interesting.
when women came TO me asking for
the vote, / felt at first It was a mis-
take. / did not believe the best and
finest women wanted t. But the more
and more women-the finest and love-
lest women and best women | knew
came 10 me with their request / began
to study the matter and I finally de-
cided that in the interest OF their chill
dren, their homes and themselves they
ought to have the vote. Suffrage Is the
greatest bulwark against Socialism
there Is. Socialism strikes at the home,
at marriage and at family life. 1t

around which centers real family life.
Realizing this, they seek TO abolish

and make mere community interest

family. When women realize this. they
will unite against the menace that
threatens to destroy the sanctlty OF the
home and family life. And I look upon
suffrage as the salvation Of the country |
against the ultimate in Socialism"
