SHAW ON THE BOYS' SIDE _ . ■ '' >^ X I ifUll Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the suffrage leader wtio died last year, had warm friends in the Tar Heel state, where her golden gifts of oratory were appreciated with expert valuation. In the hitherto unpublished photograph above she is shown surrounded by a n City, Missouri.. It was taken just before her death upon the occasion of her visit to the Boys Hotel. She had a vigorous talk with these young men just starting on their busi ness lives. Some were newsboys, some were office boys, some factory hands, all were young, all had been left total ly on their own resources. The boys liked Dr. Shaw so much that they asked her to be their baseball mascot. If you knew her, you know that she said yes. Whereupon one slim youth opined: "Why fellers now we got the Doctor on our side we sure can lick any team in town." POLITICAL EQUALITY AND SOCIAL EQUALITY "You did not wait for woman suf frage," the late Dr. Anna H. Shaw, once argued to the men of the South, "but disfranchised both your black and white women, thus making them po litically equal." This she said in answer to the men of Louisiana when she was asked to answer, from a New Orleans platform the following objec tion to giving women the vote: "If you give the ballot to women, won't you make the black and white woman equal politically and therefore lay the foun dation for a future claim of social equality?" * "If political equality is the basis of gociJd equality, and if by granting polit ical equality you lay the foundation for a claim of social equality, you have already laid that claim," was her an swer. "But you have done more than that.' You have put the ballot into the hands of your black men, thus mak ing thenj the political superiors of your white women. Never before in the his tory of the world have men made form er slaves the political masters of their former mistresses'' WHO WILL GET THE CREDIT? The Case for the Parties. Of the 35 states that have ratified j the Federal Suffrage Amendment, as j shown by the map below, 29 have Re : publican Legislatures. Republican , leaders, angling for the woman vote ; in November, have made much of the larger proportion of ratifications as sured by the Republican party. "Which would be a logical argument," says Miss Gertrude Weil, president of the North Carolina Equal Suffrage League, "if the relative proportion between Re publicans and Democrats were the es j sential thing. But it isn't. The essen i tial thing is the thirty-siith vote. What good does it do for Republicans to give 29 states, what good for them to give 35, without the thirty-sixth? •"It is the thirty-sixth state that counts. It is the chance to bo the thir ty-sixth ?»tate that makes Nwrth Caro lina the pivot of reepoiMsibility in the ! Democratic prospect in the 1920 elec ; if North Carolina ratifies, if ; the De»»eratWr party has t« c«m« to ] the foocae at tho thirty-sixth hour and save the day for the amendment after i the Republican party hat brought it to i the very gate* of success. only to ditcli ; it there, why, the whole advantage I swings to the Democratic side. It will bp the Democrats, not the Republicans, j w bo will have the vital claim on the women's vote." i W IsS ** i•* II f If 1. 1| f|if j f |'( •!!) visit to Gastor.iu. i ?«! r mi- 1 - ,\i.s > iViio Mai', i Ma» S.

Ratification or none, the women of thirty states are going to vote for the nex: President of the United States. North Carolina is one of eighteen "states whose women are barred from the November Presidential elections. Here are some tabulated figures of timely merit. In the fifteen states listed as "full suffrage" women vote on exactly the same terms as men. In nine states women have Presidential suffrage only. In the four where they have Presiden tial, plus municipal, they will vote for President, and for all municipal of fices, but not for state offices, in gen eral, though there are a few state of fices in particular that they will vote for. In other words, they will vote for offices that are not created by the state constitution. Women 21 years State and over 1. Arizona 48,419 2. California 872.802 3. Colorado 264,647 4.
