A f suffragists urge , 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.
