sUFFRAGIsTS WANT LEGISLA.
TIlRE To NEET AND AC1

The following Is the womens side
of the proposed special session OF the
and Is being attacked as unnecessary
and wasteful of public funds:
IL Is with great pleasure that the
women OF New Mexico heard of the
governors announced intention TO
call n special session of the legislature
TO consider the ratification Of the fed
Cral amendment for woman's suffrage.
From nj that we are able To hear OF
the feelings of the members. we are
sure that the ratification will he car
ried by good majority and that you
need no urging from us to convince
You of the justice and right of this
action. However, since this special
session will mean some sacrifice oil
your part and some expense to the
taxpayers of the state, we feel that II
is only right to give you some of the
reasons why we think 1t Is imperative
that ther ntificatiOn shall be made at
this session instead of waiting for the
regular session OF the legislature.
You do not need to be reminded OF
the part taken by the women Of New
Mexico IN war work and kindred act
and voluntarily assumed equal respon-
sibility with the men in all the labor
ton of the carrying on of the war.
period. although they had no voice
an no representation In the declara-
ton or thee arrying on Of the war.
Now. when the period of reconstruct
ion is at hand; period fraught with
the the gravest dangers and the most
serious problems which the country
has ever known, we feel that those
same women have n right To ask that
they shall have voice in the coming
elections which will determine the
policy Of this country for the next four
years, Just as the women In all the
states surrounding us will have. There
are thousands Of women paying taxes
IN this state, but have no power to
influence the expenditure of public
money Women are the principal suf-
fers from the high cost of living, hut
have no representation In the govern
ing bodies which may regulate that
cost. Most important of all, the home
and family. with all that is most dear
Ia women are threatened by the adj
vancing wave of bOlshevism and rad
icalism in this country and the women
of New Mexico can help to stop IT
with their votes.
We are sure that You will agree with
us that these conditions constitute a
real emergency" and that we are
Justified in urging prompt action so
that New Mexico may take her place
among the truly progressive states of
the union.
