BIRTH RATE HIGHEST
IN SUFFRAGE STATES

In reply 20 statements which are
being made by antl-suffragists that In
suffrage States the birthrate Is much
lower than In those States which have
not yet enfranchised their women, Della
ware suffrage leaders asserted today
that percentages fail absolutely TO bear
out that claim.
For instance, they assert. Delaware,
which is not yet a suffrage State, has
reported birth rate OF only 2i TO %
per 1000; Maryland, which recently
refused to give the vote TO women, has
birth rate OF only PAT.
As against those figures, the suf-
fraglsts says, Michigan. where the
women have been voting for years and
which State ratified the Anthony
amendment by unanimous vote, has a
birth rate OF 2sS. while Utah. a suf-
frage State since 1895. shows a rate
OF 30.
Idaho, California, Montana and Min
nesota, all suffrage States also show
high rates. fully In keeping with the
rates Of most OF the States In which
women never have been permitted to
vote.
