political public offices as men, but
they have not as yet had enough
actual experiences In public life and
think 1t would be wiser for them
to walt while"
Mrs. A. A. Sneyd: II do not quito
approve of women holding political
offices such as mayor or councilmen.
Mrs. C. I. Pearson: Misses Eikum.
I'VE are not for women running for
public political offices but we are
for women taking an active part IN
all school and church affairs and
things pertaining only to the home.
Mrs. A. J. Wind: I believe that
il a woman is qualified for the place
of mayor IL is all right. But we
must first know that she is and then
| do not see why she should not do
as well as any man.
Miss Ella Mack: 81 would not
even consider voting for a woman
mayor and other public political
to be in politics.
Mrs. ]. J. Flachenhar: II am de-
cidedly for the right woman for
mayor of Mankato. I think a woman
should make just as good a mayor
as any man.
Miss Nellie Pay: Il do not think
women have business in politics.
They should be wives and mothers
In the home"
Mrs. Martha Desormoux: 81 OPP
syH Il,
counciimen and city attorney. / do
not think our women should aspire
to these things"
Miss Mildred Leudke: Il think
the proper place for women is In
the home. She cannot give the
proper attention time and influence
to her home and family If she is
engaged In politics"
Miss Edith Rosquist: Il do not
approve of women holding political
public Offices"
Miss Estelle Sour: 81 think a
good woman mayor would be all
right"
Mrs. F. X. Meagher: Il do not
feel the time is quite ripe for
women to hold political public
offices.
Miss Alice Robin: "As far as
mentality goes, there is no difference
in brain power between men and
women but there is great differ
had training In politics there Is no
reason why she should not run for
political public office.
Mrs. wv. Shearer: II am not
enthusiastic over women holding
political public offices. Women have
not had the vot very long and they
have not had enough experiences to
yet hold these offices. Yet on the
other hand If they are not given a
chance they will never get any
place. I believe it would be a good
idea for women to first start on the
council and then work on to the
other higher Offices"
Mrs. C. d. Snow: II do not be-
lieve in women holding political
offices just as long as we have good
men who are capable of holding
these offices.
Mrs A. J. veigel: Il think it is
all right for women to fill public
political offices, but personally ]
have hoped that the women would
wait awhile until they have had
more experiences. This is not say
tent to fill political offices as men,"
Mrs. l. B. Fisher: 81 say that il
women are going into politics they
should make a study of it before
hand and be ready before accepting
offices"
Mrs. C. E. Wise: Personally |
feel there is no rush for women to
enter political offices. Locally /
think there are women OF great
capacity and understanding here
who would make just as good
feel the time is yet come for women
to go into offices. They should not
hurry, but first school themselves
along the lines Of politics to better
fit themselves for the positions.
Possibly 1t is hard for women TO yet
feel they are still young in politice.
Mrs. George Palmer: up to date
I am not in favor of women holding
polltlcal PUBIC OnlceS.
Mrs. Evan Hughes: ut seems to
me we are not quite ready to take
these offices such as mayor, council
men and other public offices. feel
we should wait until we are more
ready. / do not think it would be
wise at the present time to have
lady mayor in Mankato.
Miss Kate Sanger. 81 do not ap-
prove OF women holding political
offices. l believe the place OF
woman is in the bCme with her
family.
Mrs. E. g tiirvtn: IF the woman
is qualified | think there is no rea-
SON what ever why she should moi
be elected to position of mayor.
Mrs. A. iIusllrr.: II AM in favor
Of a woman running tor mayor and
other political offices if sic is qua
fed, has executive ability as well as
the eSility Tor organizing, then
ts,ieve she Is Just as ciE,p PEE ent as
any man to hold these Offices"
Mis-. ". L. Colnsi TEX: There aie
plenty nf men who have made ::0cd
mayor and there might be equally
as good material among the women.
Mrs NJ r. Coult II: II do not
