cial revolutions, like, in fact, tho
prohibition cause. woman's suffrage
grows stronger each day and soon we
will see stampede of opposing for
ces. 1t is hardly necessary to argue
the propriety Of equal suffrage now,
either as a measure OF justice for
women or as a measure tending to
bring into direct touch with the pub
lie affairs OF this country, large
proportion of the intelligence and the
conscience OF the country, which have
not hitherto been represented. West
Virginia women should have not the
same rights and privileges as their
sisters in many other states. At this
late day it is not for West Virginia
to say that her womanhood is less in
telligent, less conscientious and less
scrupulous of its obligations to the
public than the womanhood Of twen-
ty or more states that already enjoy
the ballot and have exercised their
powers wisely
We believe an extra session of the
West Virginia Legislature would in all
probability, result in the endorse
ment of the suffrage amendment, and
we think, as matter OF equity to the
women of West Virginia, the governor
of our state may well consider the
propriety Of calling such session.

AN EXTRA SESSION FOR
WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
From the Wheeling Intelligence.

From the wheeling Intelligence.
The State of West VIrgiin has not
yet acted upon the woman's suffrage
amendment of the federal constitution
view OF the near approach of the
presidential election, and the proba.
bility that in many states Of the
Union, millions of women will have
an opportunity to vote on both state
and national OFFICES next year, it
seems to the Intelligecer that the
authorities of West Virginia might
well consider the propriety of an ex.
ira session of the legislature for the
purpose of ratifying the suffrage
amendment.
1t is impossible to escape the be-
lief that in the not distant future,
woman's suffrage will become an &C
copied fact in every state in the
union. The last strongholds Of OPP
position are falling. The wave of
equal suffrage sweeps on. Here and

Tomorrow the voters OF Fairmont will hold an cleo
