Women may have a good influ

that politics will not have a good In*

The young gentleman's point is

a thri-* fourth majo.-ity of their sis

States’ Rights had th* central govern

the several so-called sovereignties
without the content of three fourths
of them. Suffrage is in the same emt

Wa arc against suffrage for the
same reason that Bob Page was and

ot whs.: pol.tie, will do to our women
Mr. Pag->'* reason has sinct been bor
