GIVES HISTOY OF
THE SUFFRAGE FIGHT

/ knew Just as soon as Iarrived in
Baton Rouge and met the two anti
suffrage women from Maryland and
read their disgraceful literature that
we were in for a real anti-suffrage
fight. took the vote in both the
house and senate and found that
more than half of the men were
against suffrage of any kind; but to
make themselves o. X. back home
they would vote for the state bill and
said openly that they would fight
suffrage at the polls.
Now, people of Louisiana, why work
for something we could not get? Why
GO into a fight with strong chance
OF losing when we had real suffrage
issue at hand? Thirty-five states had
ratified the Federal amendment and
Louisiana would have made the
thirty-sixth state, and to show Amer
ica that she stood for what was just
and right.
For three consecutive days the
same article has appeared in the New
Orleans papers by one of the anti
suffrage sO-called states rights lead
ers, charging the Federal Workers
with defeating the States Rights bill
through spite. Dear anti-suffrage,

was said by one of your crowd that
one of our "stone wall" senator's had
been won over. know this was not
true, but If this were so then who de-
feated States Rights. Your own
Anti-Suffrage Senators. And let me
say to the states rights leaders you
got just what you so richly deserved,
that is, to be beaten at your own
game. There one anti-suffrage sena-
tors defeated. the states rights bill.
They began to run away just as soon
as they learned that the bill would
be brought up Thursday night at IL

this was not enough. The two after
