The refusal of southern men to give
a thirty-alith raiili' iitlon to the women
of the country will not defeat woman
suffrage; It will only defeat the loyal
women of the lemocratlc south, and a

MOST POPULAR AMENDMENT
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.
Nine states had ratified the Federal
Suffrage AniendmetU within three
weeks from the dale was signed In
June, lfll9. That was oiic fotii'tli of
the total number required. Of those
nlue stutes seven were alreadc In scs
slon snd could make quick work of
ratification. After that it was a ques
tion of calling special sessions for the
spectul purpose of rntlfvlng. as all the
other ae iegisimive seHsiora nf ihiu
had closed. Tet so widespread was
the sentiment for rntlflcntlon that
within three months. In spite nf ex
pense. In spite of summer heat. In
spite of everything, eight states Iiad
called special sessions. Before the
end of 1919 five mere had called spe
cial sessions ami ratllitd. January.
1920, was ushered in by rntlltcallon In
two states that held regular sessions.
Another state, New Jersey, took ad
vantage of Its regular session to rati

"When the men of North Csrollna

Itiilelgh, N. C, "do they think what

"Equal suffrage In southern states
would :
"1. Increase vastly the white vote,
"2. Raise the educational and moral
standard of the electorate.
"Not only would woman suffrage

FOR THE SAKE OF THI
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Apropos to the fact that the women
of thirty states In the Union are going
to vote, for the next 1'resldent, whether
the thirty siith state ratlOes the Fed
end suffrage amendment or not, Mrs.
Charles D. Mclver of (Jreeiishoro has
this to say "for the sake of the Iienio
crntlc parly :"
"Why cut down the popular vote In
North Carolina by denying North Car
ollnn women the right to vote fur I'res
lilenllal electors along with Hie women
of other stales. True, a stale's electo
ral college vole Is no bigger no matter
how much ihe popular vole la In
creased, but It's Just ns true that then'
Is n psychological factor In Hie largei
popular vote that lias Its elTect. It
doesn't do the Democratic party am
good to seem to tie the parly of a few
people Instead of many people. Of the
thirty states where women will vote In
the presidential election of 1(120 Un
popular vote ts nominally Republican
In two-thirds of them. Willi the wn
men voting In those states the poputai
vote un the Itepuhllcon side is Increns
ed by millions. In the Democratic
Routli millions of women are excluded
and the popular vole correspondlnglx
reduced. It makes a bad uppeurance
on the face of tilings. It creates tin
Impression that the Kepuhllcan pnrl.x
Is the people's pnrty. It Isn't. The
Democratic party Is the people's party.
It's unfair to create this false Impres
sion hy an exclusion of the woman
vote In the Sooth at the expense ef the
Democratic party."
