hers of President Wilson's cabinet
indorsed woman suffrage in state
ments made public liprc today by
Mrs.' Xonnan IVII. Whitehouse,
chairman of the New York state wo
man's suffrage party. Following are
extracts from statements:
Joseph us Daniels, secretary of the
nnvy The mothers of men train
their boysf or citizens, and if they
are to I.e trusted with tile earlv edu
cation 'and shaping of the character
their boys for citizens,- and if they
they should not be i rusted with the
ballot f '
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior I Ree no reason to fear wo
man suffrage. It has not worked dis
aster in California. As a mutter of
political philosophy, suffrage cannot
be put aside, and as a matter of wise
policy it is not to be denied.
David F. Houston, secretary of
agriculture The patriotism, the self
control of, women.; in the present
emergency and their intelligent ac
tion lend support to , the argument
and should dispel any doubts fair
minded men may have entertained us
to the wisdom of enfranchising the
women. ;
William G. MoArfoo, secretary of
the treasury The time . has come
when suffrage should be givdi to the
women of America. It should bo
given promptly and Hncnidginclv.
William G. Redfield, secretary of j
commerce I am an earnest believer
in suffrage for women. There arc
large sections of our public affairs
in which women merely heeniisc.
they nre women are experts.
