WOMAN SUFFRAGE
 IS ENDORSED
 BY SWEET BRIAR

Sweet Briar, Va, March 10-A clear majority of 100 in favor of suffrage by constitutional amendment or any other means, is the flat answer of 300 college-bred women of the South, stu dents of Sweet Briar College, to the action of their state legislatures in seeking to deny them the ballot. These reseults have just been reached in a student straw vote taken at the in- stance of the Sweet Briar $1,000,000 campaign committee. Suffrage on any basis claimed 1 52 votes to 52 opposed, while , favored extending the ballot to women under various limitations. Girls from 3S states took part in the poll, but the majority of them repre- sent the rising generation in the South.
 Many declared that suffrage should be limited ''only to those who want it or to the states which want it." One or two felt that the question should somehow be settled by a referendum of women as being the persons most concerned. Another girl was in favor
 of giving the ballot to Intelligent women but only on condition that the
 ignorant, both men and women, be excluded q don't think enough serious-minded women want it." and ''it would make politics more corrupt because the majority of the women voters would come from the lower classes were among the more strik- 1 ing objections. One young woman. i marking back no doubt to the old ante bellur franchise restrictions in some of the states both Northern and Southern. gave as her opinion that women should be allowed to vote only l if a property qualification were re- 1 quired of both sexes. Only three reg 1 istered their opinion as definitely un- 1 decided.
