CHANGE VOT NOTICEABLE
Oue of the arguments used by
the advocates of equal suf
frage is that if women are given
the ballot they will pfrify politics
and government—ttant they will
sweep away certain "man-made"
laws which many tigh-thinkiug
people believe are retarding hu
man and national advancement—
that they will abolish conditions
iu this country which are conceded
« by most good citizens to be wrong.
This implies that voting by. the
women practically as a unit for a
common purpose, would be inevit
abla
One of the principal arguments
used against equal suffrage is that
men would be relegated to an in
terior position—that politics aud
government would be feminized—
that wouieu would wield a com
pelling inflvence, even if not a full
control, in uiatters which, by tem
perament, training and centuries
of development in other contrary
liues, they are unfitted to manage
that the country would lose
lfKic'u of the benefit of a hundred
years of experience, worked out
by specially qualified men who de
voted the best thought and efforts
of their lives to the problems of
government ;'nd society
This also implies tfcar the wo
men would always stand together at
ihe ballot box.
But how does it work out?
We have just had an illustration
in the Chicago municipal election,
lu the campaign, extraordinary ef
forts were made to line * up tiie
women voters. Did the women
\ote together? They did not.
They voted as iudepci dently as
the men. The women's vote was
divided among the different candi
dates in rbout the same propor
tions that tae men's vote was.
That has been the exrerience of
Colorado aud tne other states
•vhere women have had the vote for
some time. It has been the ex
perience of California, where wo
men recent'}- won the ballot. Politi
i\il and ~overnmeuta] conditions
u these states have been changed
very little, if at all, by the votes of
ifomen. Woman exercises the
right of franchise iu exactly the
manner that man exercises it.
So the test of practice proves,
thus far, that votes for women
(.either bring in the millennium nor
subject the country to petticoat
rule.
