Stupid Politics.
tElizabethtown News

IL is rather disgusting to see the
play that the political leaders are
making on the question Of woman
suffrage with the view Of laying claim
10 the woman vote. The Republican
party leaders are eontending that the
women ought to vote the Republican
ticket because a majority of the
States which ratified the amendment
for woman's suffrage are Republican
States. The Democratic party lead
ers, on the other hand, are claiming
that women ought to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. because after all they
will not secure suffrage unless some
Democratic State comes 20 the rescue
and ratifies the amendment, making
the Seth state or the required num-
Der.
In both cases we are OF the opinion
that they are playing stupid politics.
We give the women Of the country
credit for too much intelligence to
believe that they will be talked in
by either the Republican or the
Democratic claim for their votes.
They know full well that both Of
them are playing politics, and that
II either Of the great parties had
been against suffrage for women
they would not have secured II.
Women are Tot going 20 cast their
votes as a matter Of gratitude 70 a
political party To suppose such a
thing is putting them as low down in
the scale as the enfranchised negroes
after the Civil War.
Women are going 20 vote as they
feel politically. II they believe in
Democratic principles and like Dem
ocratie candidates they are going TO
vote for them. II they like Repub-
lean principles they will vote the
Republican ticket. They are not 20.
INK TO give a thought as TO how they
got IL, but consider only how they
can exercise IL intelligently.
The political claim for votes in re-
turn for suffrage will have little or
no weight with them. IL Is stupid
politics 20 suppose that II would.

qualified for the position and should
be our nominee. He is n vigorous

success Of his life. and those who
know him best admire him most. His

fact that II availability is necessary
