Almost every organization in the “campaign” States which stands for anything that ought to be stood for has indorsed the suffrage amendment. Will the antis name one which has declared against it—that is, has declared publicly?
It’s funny how every woman who does anything nowadays, from climbing a steeple to taking the prize at a beauty show, is described as “a leading suffragist.” Don’t the “antis” ever get married or die or have triplets or do anything worth notice?
