Ratification at
big mass meeting
Three Men Speak for the Cause
-But Woman Shows Power
Of Feminine Mind
Three men spoke for -woman suffrage
bt th3 mass meeting: last night, and
all of them spoke ajttently and with
convincing: power; but It was a woman
who- showed the audience by her grasp
of the subject and her power of pre
senting It that a woman's mind Is
capable of . grappling with the "weighty
problems which beset the masculine
voter.
Miss lola Trait, field secretary of
the national committee, displayed a
knowledge of suffrage facts which
.which were a revelation. She sketched
the history of the movement since re
quest was made that women be speci
fically mentioned in the constitution of
the United States, and the failure of
the Irameri'to do so. ...
As a landmark she cited' the first
convention ever called to Indorse the
cause, an event which occurred In Cen
ter Hill, New York; In 1848, at which
time the mother of one of the five wo
men attending took a special train for
the scene of , action to determine
whether or not her daughter was In
sane. Pleasure and Irony V
"It is with pleasure - and a. tinge of
irony," said Miss Trax, "that we who
have worked, and waited so long for
the. privilege of voting .view the scram
ble of the political parties' to keep the
other man from giving it to us. ,
"It is nearly here, and the time has
long gone by when a man who is a
Buffraglst can pat himself on the back
for his progressive ideas, and with a
catch of breath admit that he is .a rad
ical. "Those who get on the band wagon
nW are simply trailers at the end of
the procession; and I would like you
women to take note of the prophecy
that every politician- in the country
will soon be telling you that he has
been a suffragist silnce the time he
was six years old.
"The constitution says,' 'We, the peo
. ple,andthe: supreme court haaTgraci
ously deoided that women are people.
Delaware may beat us to being the
SI
thirty-sixth stateCrbnt, as one advo
cate has put t, Pelawtre has acted
so badly about the matter that we
would " like to .-.feel we don't' need her.
Therefore we look to foTth Carolina.
Objections to; woman suffrag were
thoroughly threshed pyd by.tne chair
man of the meeting,- John DI!Bellamy,
who quashed " them one Ty v one. He
explained that there were iO&OOO lAore
white women than negro women in
North Carolina-and that in only two
southern states the negro women out
number the white, and In like propor
tion the negro men outnumber the
white.
He cited opinions of judges in the
suffrage states to prove that not one
single divorce has., been granted be
cause of political . differences between
man and wife. He mentioned the im
provements which women have worked
in humane legislation in the states
where they might yoto, and he showed
that the most efficient state educational
system in the-country is In Colorado,
and had been perfected by a woman
superintendent. '
. Mr. Taylor -Speaks
Walker Taylor followed Mr. Bellamy,
and based his plea for women on the
fact : that business conditions had
forced them to go out of the home.
"You men." he said, 'will either have to
give up your women - stenographers.
or rtop prating about their place be
ing in the home." - ;
Mr, Taylor, also mentioned the fact
that the city of Wrlghtaville Beach
was one of the first in the nation to
give : the voting right to "women. , and
that Carolina. Heights, th"e most beau
tiful! suburb of Wilmington was da
signed1 by a woman's brain.
Of the two legislators.. of the state
who have supported the measure, W.
B. Cooper sent Tegrets that he could
not attend, but that his vote would
tell where his sympathies lay. I Clay
ton; Grant, was present to speak for
the cause. . -
Opponents of woman suffrage he
said, have been most curiously identi
fied with sections where corrupt poli
tics are prevalent, and the four men
who once defeated the measure in the
ortjh Carofflna .; wetre . noticeable . as
those who voted against other uplifting
legislation. . ,
."Women may, make blunders," de
clared Mr. Grant, "but ! they can't do
any worse .than have men, and' there
Is ho reason to doubt thai their in
fluence in politics will be, as it has
been! in the world, for betterment."
Before adjournment a resolution was
passed by- rising vote that this meet
ing of some two. hundred , citiseiis go
on - record -as favoring ; ratification :. by
the North Carolina legislature at the
special , sesaion. The motion - was. de
clared unanimous, the chairman falling
to" recognise the one man who stood
against It.

an end toward which we are striving.
It vill come in Mexico as it did in the
