'Those who insist upon claiming a monopoly on brains and judgment and who are consistently opposed to giv ing woman a square deal, have re peatedly expressed doubt as to wheth er woman in politics would be an in fluence for good. It was not so long ago that our own ' distinguished Gov-' ernor Craig, in ah, address before the students of the State Normal college in Greensboro voiced such a sentiment when he questioned whether or not the state. wotild be elevated by the votes Of its women, or words to that j effect. .
