WOMAN SUFFRAGE OSCE
The woman suffrage amendment is
nnmfi before the people ' of Oregon
for the fourth time on election day.
Whv should it be necessary to vote
upon the question' every two years?
The suffragists kniwas do all women,
that when the majority ol women
want a thine done, that thing will De
done. Then why have they for years
been besieging legislators, presenting
t,ir.i"ons. working, arguing and, lately,
fighting for their "rights," as they
call ihemt -Because a majority- of
women are not behind the movement.
This is not a man's question; it is
a woman's question. Let the women
of the state decide that they want a
vnt before vou force it upon them.
Consult the women you know and
mm thev wish on this matter, but
vote, or the measure may slip through
Kv fh inattention of voters or , the
carelessness which will follow the
large number of propositions suo-
mitted.
