Drugglate,
To the Voters of all Political Parties of
the State of Oregon, and to you, Sir,
Greeting:
The many adherents of the equal
sufTrago movement, for which a con
stitutional amendment is now pending,
have held their peace for many months,
lest they might embarass you in some
way concerning the partiean and person
al conflicts in which you have been striv
ing witlt each other for the mastery.
But, now that your nominations are all
made, and your plans adjusted for your
various campaigns, we de6ire to place
before you our plea for our own en
franchisement. We feel that you can
not justly, or honestly deprive ns of our
voice in the administration of the affairs
of the government, since we are taxed to
maintain Its laws, to which, equally with
yourselves, we are held amendable. As
we provide for the government all its
eoldierB at the risk of our lives; and,
when you call our eoob to battle, we bid
them God-speed, oven though our hearts
be breaking, we surely perform duties
equal with yours in the maintenance of
government.
In respectfully demanding your of
flrmative votes upon a question we are
not permitted to decide for ourselves, we
are not asking for the adoption of anv
partisan issue, nor of any untried experi
ment.
Directly to the east of us are four
sovereign Etates, in which the women
are enjoying the free use of the ballot.
The citizens of Wyoming, the pioneer
state of this great movement, have from
time to time during the past thirty years,
announced, over their own eiunatuies,
through her prees, her legislatures, her
governors, senators, clergymen, judges,
representatives and chief educators, that
good and only good, iias accrued to the
people and the state from the enfranchise
ment of women. They have often
publicly challenged the anonymous
writers from other states, who have mis
represented the facts, to find two men,
or women, in all Wyoming, who will
aeeert, over their own names and ad'
dresses, that equal suiierage has pro
duced anv bad reeults. It is needless to
says that no such opponent has yet
responded.
Governor Campbell, who was in oflice
when the law was passed in 1869, eaid,
in Ins message to the legislature two
years later, "It ie simple justice to say
that the women entering for the first
time upon their new and untried duties,
have conducted themselves in every
respect with much tact, sound judgment
and good sense as men." Similar testi
mony has come, unsolicited, from each
succeeding governor of Wyoming and
from all the highest officials and
educators of both sexes and all parties.
The very leading men and women of
Colorado, another state where women
vote, have issued circulars saying: "We
believe the greatest good to the home,
the state and the nation Is best advanced
through the operation of woman suffrage.
Ibe evils predicted have not come to
pass, ine uenents claimed for it have
been secured, or are in process of develop
nent. A very large proportion of
Colorodo, women have conscientiously
accepted their responsibility as citizens."
This statement was made in 1SUQ, in
answer to tne mis-statements ol an
anonymous "anti," a correspondent cf
ttie Eastern press, and was signed by the
governor, ex-governor, governor-elect,
United States senators aud ex-senators,
representatives and ex-representatives
in congress, the chief justiceand asscciate
ustices of the supiemu court, the presi
dents of colleges and universities, thu
presidents of woman's clubs, the heads
of educational, religious and philan
thropic institutions, and by leading
society women throughout the state.
From Idaho, w here women have been
voters slncH iuu, nave come to ub many
testimonials, also unsolicited, highly in
dorsing the movement, signed by men
and women of unimpeachable lutegrlty
and standing, among whom are Chief
usiice I, N. Sullivan, Associate Justices

the state normal school, Wm. Balderston,
editor of the Idaho Statesman, and a
great many other prominent men, as
well as the very prominent women who
lead in society, education and philanthropy.
Everybody knows that the enfranchise
ment of the women of all thu states is
coming ; that it Is inevitable. Oregon to
day, is the only state where uu equal
suffrage amendment is pending. Shu,
aud she alone, is in a position to lead
the van of progress in this important
movement in this dawti of the new
century, Let her voters do their duty
by marking their ballots "Yes" for the
equal suffrage amendment, and she will
go into imperishable history as the first
state of the Pacific Coast to place the in
signia of liberty upon the brows of the
mothers of her soldiers and statesmen.
Uy thia act of simple justice you will
place Oregon in n position where she
will udvertien her own greatness ami
thus enhance your prosperity without
cost to yourselves,
It is related of the poet Whlttier that
upon being asked Ills opinion of a future
statu of existence, hu replied by quoting
from an epitaph he had read somewhere:
Iluru Ho I, Michael Angloroi),
Iluve mercy on my soul, t.uril God,
Ai I would do, wero I Lord God,
And you were Michael Aiiglcrod.
It was the apt significance of thia epi
taph that appealed to the solons of the
legislature who submitted the equal
suffrage amendment for which we ask
your vote. We believe yon also will
see the point. "A word to the wise is
sufficient. "
