13 TOE MORN'IXG OREGOXIAN, TT7ESDAT, JAXTJAET 2, 1912. VOTES-FOR-WOfilEH EVANGELIST HERE Mrs. Sarah E. Commerford, of Spokane, Comes to Plan Conquest of Oregon. 1912 VICTORY PREDICTED SuffrarUt to Arrange 1'orniatlon of Clubs Throughout State Sex Iljglrno Course In Primary Schools Is Adrocatcd. "Time was never more opportune for winning- for Oregon women the. r1tht to vote," declared Mrs. Sarah E. Commerford. prominent suffrajrist of Spokane. Wash., at the Portland yesterday. "Oregon Is the only state of Importance In the West In which women do not exercise th rlirht of suf-fi-aae. There can be so question but that the eiual suffrage amendmont - to your stato com tltutlon. which will be submitted to the voters In Novem ber. will tx adopted. "In former contents In this state the women hav b-en obliged to make thlr flcht fr suffrage single-handed. In the. approaching rlnht they will havo the active a?isUtne of the men, and prominent men In public life. too. Through the formation of organiza tions throuKhout the stato by men. aa Is proposed, the cause of equal suffrage will bn ImmenaWy promoted. It is to the nxn we must appeal in our Hunt, and we have found that the average man Is susceptible to argument and appeal from one of his own sex. where the request for a vote by a woman Is generally waved aside. ftaffraa Held Corrective. "We do not contend that equal suf frage will prove a panacea for all the Imperfections In our public life of which we complain, but experience In other states has shown that It ma terially assists to correct and Improve those very conditions. Particularly In the State of Washington women very generally exercise their right to vote and with their assistance It Is known that municipal cond.tlons tn both Se attle and Tacoma, have been greatly cleansed and Improved. "It is not expected that the best results will Immediately follow the adoption of woman suffrage In any state. Woman has so Ions; been lso- lated from ppbllc affairs, and you might say Imprisoned tn the home. ' that It necessarily must be a subject of education for her before she can be expected to have an understanding of conditions and what must be done be- fore aha applies her vote Intelligently In the consideration and disposition of ; these problems. Orewesi Cesesert Vereeeea. "Equal suffrage la only a step In our 10th century evolution. Thla la undo- . nlably a free country and still we And . one-half of our population denied the right of voting and having a voice tn our government. This right properly belongs to women and It cannot much longer be denied to them In a state that ' la both aa progressive and conservative ' aa Is Oregon." Mrs. Commerford was one or the active workera tn the suffrage move ment In Washington. Purine that campaign ahe served as president of ' the College Equal Suffrage Association. She Is also an enthusiastic advocate of Introducing In the publlo schools of the country the study of sex hygiene. "For three weeks I have been travel ing and in that time I have made it my business to meet and discuss this sub ject with members of the medical and legal professions, who know much shout the standard of morals." said Mrs. Commerford. "and in this way I hare learned much that la both as toundinic and almost Inconceivable. In some statea study of the sex question has been introduced In the blgh schools, but I would have thla Instruction be gin In the primary grades of the pub lic schools. False modesty In treating with this subject and the double stand ard of morality are largely responsible for the Immoral conditions found In every city." Mrs. Commerford will attend a meet ing at the Commercial Club tomorrow night, when initial steps will be taken towards the organisation of equal suf frage clubs throughout the state. W. M. I'avls has arranged for this meeting, which will be addressed by a number of prominent men who have held pub lic office In the state and have hereto fore opposed granting women the right to vote. 91 ENTER DOCTORS' TEST State Kamlnatlon Will II Held In rortl a ml This AVrrk.
