A bill to deprive men of tho ballot In Colo rado will bo Introduced In tho stato legislature if ono now being framed by men Intondod to dl3franchlso wo men Is prccontcd nt tho coming ses sion. That Is tho answer tho suffra ges of Colorado havo ready for tho men who are now seeking to form a mascullno otlng monopoly. The fight promises to bo a warm one. Thero nro both mon and wo men In tho legislature, and tho wo mon members, forowarncd of tho move tho mon are planning, havo mapped out a campaign of opposi tion that will, It Is predicted, bo spec tacular. Incidentally, tho woman leaders prophesy, tho mon who are "bravo" enough to introduce any bill seeking a constitutional amendment depriving tholr "sisters" of tho ballot will bo laid away In neat Httlo pollt leal gravos with headstones especially carved for them by tho lc'lslntor- esscs. The men who nro seeking to havo only tho Adam brand of voters In Colorado bnso their nrguraents in fa- for of the bill on tho allegation that women havo failed to mako good as voters. The women, In tho fight they will mnko to continue as voters, In tend to use tho samo nrgumont against tho men. Not only will thoy contond that the mnso'ilino portion of Colorado has shown that It Is un trustworthy, subject to bribery, 11 loglcal and easily duped, but thoy will point out that tho experiment of mascullno suffrage hns boon tried for a good many moro years than has vomnn suffrage, and that tho failure tho mon havo mado Is thoroforo a much, moro powerful argument for taking tho ballot from thera. Thot disfranchisement movement sentiment, tho women say, Is a re sult of recent opopsltlon of Mrs. Elizabeth Goddard of Colorado Springs,- a former suffragotte, to tho votes for women Idea. Because ono woman says women aro not capablo of voting, Is no argunont, tho wo men favoring equal suffrago say, against the sytom. There nro plon ty of women In the stato who have given as much attention to tho matter as Mrs. Goddard, they say, who are f'rmly convinced that tho votes of women have i layed an Important parti n thcadvanccment of reform In tho state. Most of tho reform, It will beadded, has been to correct tho mlstnkes that men havo mado. charter and enforco prohibition and me and Plerco are organizing a citi zens leaguo for good government for Ed Root ngalnst tho flold.
