suggesting a municipal ticket with a
woman mayor and councilwomen.
Some of the "antis' have already
avowed their intention of letting their
better halves go to night meetings
without them as escorts. But that's
all right. "Where there's woman
there's a way" It was the great
world war, so destructive of our man
hood, that brought about the recog-
milton of the right of equal suffrage.
Out of much suffering has come this
one good, at least: That when the
test came, the women proved equal
to the enormous responsibility placed
upon their shoulders, and by sharing
the burden, proved their power. The
right of suffrage was natural Sc
quence to the demands made upon
them and which they met so nobly.
Citizenship means duties and obli-
cations as well as rights and privi-
leges, to our women. And as they
take up these duties and obligations,
there is no sounder guide on earth
than the mothers heart.
