WOMAN AND POLITICS

FROM every source there comes the lamentation.
'the women take interest in politics" II is
possible that did not know what they wanted
when they asked equal suffrage or is it that few
ambitious women spoke too quickly for the rank and
file of their sisters?
Woman is a good influence in politics Her bal
lot is for her home Womans first instinct is to
protect her child and her health On every side
there are forces that work against the home. The
ballot is the most effective method of fighting these
influences. Let every woman cast her ballot
The duty of woman is clear 1t applies not alone
TO the club woman and the darlings of culture and
foretune. 1t is the birthright of the poorest in the
land. No matter how humble the home how diff
cult the circumstances, the mother in the most
lowly hove in the county who rocks a cradle is
propagating race that evolved Christian civilization.
She should cast her ballot. majority OF voters in
the nation have conferred upon woman full suffrage
She should exercise it. Whether she sought the
honor or not the duty is clear. She should vote
ssOver and above the duty OF voting there is an
even clearer duty to take part in the organization
work OF her party. II She has no party affiation
she should form one for party organizations al
times able to influence the ballot That infu-
enee should be shared by women in the interest OF
good government.
