"But the question of whether
or not women need the ballot, or whether
they would improve conditions if they
had the ballot is not the point. The
question Is, have they a right to the
ballot ? Should persona who are gov
erned by laws have a voice In making
those laws T Those are the only pertin
ent questions to be considered in the
discussion of woman suffrage. All oth
ers are merely side issues advanced for
the purpose of clouding the main issue."
