VOTES FOR WOMEN
The persistence with which the women of the civilized world have advocated "Woman-Suffrage" has at last borne fruit. The phrase "Votes for Women" has become a general topic of conversation wherever men and women congregate, and has also become one of the leading political questions of the day. Professional politicians and the bosses are alike filled with fear and unrest, as they realize that women are in earnest and demand, not a privilege, but a right. It was Abraham Lincoln who said that no man was good enough to govern another man without that other man's consent. The women of this country say that no man is good enough to govern a woman without that woman's consent. They ask that they be given representation in the government on the same basis as the men.
"Votes for Women" means better laws, better education, and a better country in which to live. Victory is already close at hand. The fight, for fight it is, is almost won, and soon "Votes for Women" will no longer be a dream and a hope, but an accomplished fact!
