“We stand for an economic system which will enable every man to support a family so that women need not go outside the home to work,” say the Socialists.

“The action of the Federation of Clubs at their biennial, indorsing woman suffrage,” says Mrs. Dodge, national president of the “antis,” “was a clear case of gag rule in a packed convention.” Well, if the suffragists could “pack” a convention to the extent of ninety-eight per cent. and “gag” two thousand delegates they are certainly almost clever enough to vote.
