LA FOLLETTE CITES REASONS FOR SUFFRAGE Wife of Wisconsin Senator Enumerates Arguments Tending to Show Why Women Should Be Granted Ballot Equally With Men. BT LEONE CASS BACK. ! S an example of l ow easy It Is to sotain one v woman's vote, be it known that If Mrs. Robert La Follette were running for President Instead of her distinguished husband, that I would hasten right as fast as our streetcar system would permit me to the polls and cast ray vote for her. But she Isn't running for anything, or anybody. She aaya she Just "came along because the trip promised to be a delightful . one." and besides she wanted to be wrth her husband. Mrs. I .a Follette Is one of those round little ctiddle'y women, all soft cJrvee. Her dark hair waves Into crinkly tendril about her ace, and her. eyes are deep-set pools of blue. Laughing eyes they are, too, although their aunnr eerenlty Is belled by. til serious mouth and her authoritative 'oicc. And she is thoroughly feminine, and knew as well as any that her lovely dull blue and bronze gown brought out the fairness' of her skin anl the blue of the aforementioned eye. Ilasbaad'e (ampalga Interests. She disclaimed any part In her hus band's present political . campaign. "Naturally, aad most assuredly I am In terested In It. I may. say I am the one. next to himself, who Is mest in terested In Its outcome, but that is true also of everything else he has ever un dertaken." ahe said. "I have traveled with him In every campaign he ha made. You see we graduated In the same class from the I'nlveraity -of Wisconsin. After we were married I took up the study of lam- and gradu ated In this also; In fact. I waa the first woman to receive a lawyer's diploma from that I'nlversVty. "My taking up the study of law came about most naturally. My husband and I were married comrades and I was following his cases with grat admira tion and Interest. This, couple."! with my desire to be of material help to him In his practice, led me to study. I never made use of my diploma, save in writing briefs. But it has been of Im measurable help to me. giving me more than a working knowledge of well. hall we say a small part of politics?" .anraae Caase I belc. Mrs. La Follette smilingly disclaimed that she started out with any intention to lecture while on this trip. "Cer tainly I shall not meddle In my hus band's campaign, and I wouldn't think of making a political talk or even dis cussing campaign issues. But whenever I am given aa opportunity to talk on the sun rape cause I am g ad to avail myself of It: for I am an ardent sup porter of. and a worker for the bet terment of women. Tuesday night f am going to say Just a few word to the public meeting which Mr. La Follette will address. I'sually he him self says a kindly word for the cause In his speech. But In this particular Instance the Portland women, who are anxious to reach a large body of voter, have considered this an advisable op portunity to get their case before a Urge Jurs That ia only why I speak to heln all I can. "1 hare only spoken once In public since I ant into Oregon, and only one ether tme prior, to my little talk In Pendleton last Saturday. That imtance was in Nebraska, when my husband was late at his meeting, and I ad dressed the assemblage, not xOn the political question they had come to hear about, but on the question that most concerned their wives, mothers, sis ters and daughters. No." laughingly she expostulated. "I didn't take up the entire evening. Fortunately my hus band arrived soon." KulTragr'a BeneBta Foresee. Mrs. I-a Follette says that she feels she Is under personal obligation to do whatsoever she can for the suffrage movement. "It Is so close to-home, you see," she explained. 'The same amendment Is pending In Wisconsin and I am most anxious to have it carry. The more states that carry It, the sooner woman's whole emancipa tion will come." "Well. Just suppohe," said I. "that a woman were your husband's opponent for the race he's running now; would you still be in earnestT' She smiled at her husband and arch ly said: "Well. I really think women won't aspire to be Presidents, but even so, they wouid make very much better ones than some men we have had in the chair. But the big place where we do need wonian'a executive Influence Is In educational questions. Women should hold every position that has to do In any way with the education of children, and particularly in the public school system. Voti have only to make your Judgment from the tro mendous successes they have proved as ministers, of education. The world need have no fear of woman aspiring to get out of her sphere. She Is too level headed." "And you think she Isn't putting one foot over the border line of what -we have been ld to believe Is her sphere when she dabbles in emancipation?" I queried. Mrs. La Follette' laugh bad the ring of assured position. "Why. whoever established a sphere for women? And who Is to say where it begins or ends? I see no sane reason why women, all women, regardless of position or edu cation, ahould not be Interested In the government of their city, their state, their country. The greatest good it will do is the reaction It will bring about. Women will feel the respon sibility of being big helpers In gov ernment, and realize their leavening in fluence for political betterment." Opportunity to Be Increased. "Don't you think It will add the re sponsibilities that they and men have already piled up for feminine shoul ders?" I asked. "Not at all." she stoutly asserted. "It will give them a new dignity, a greater charm of womanliness, and greater am bition with positive assurance of a futurity for their children and their children's children than they have known aince the world was created." "Why give me your one biggest rea son." I urged: "why should women La Follette marked off each word on one of her plump pretty hands: "For the very Identical reason that men should, with this difference, they, the women, will do It, oh so very much better.
