Mrs. Horace Brock Declares
Partisan Politics Defeats
Work of Women.
STRENGTH IN UNION
Anti Leader Say Federation of Clubi
Recognize that "Indirect Influence"
Is Stronger Than Ballot
Br MHS, HORACE BROCK.
The extent to which the suffrage agita
tion Is dividing women Into Impotent
groups and factions Is becoming more
Increasingly evident each week. The
latest "war of the women" Is over the
indorsement of suffrage by the clubs.
The women's dubs were organized or
iginally to coalite the work of all the
feminine civic, social, and educational or
ganizations Into State and national fed
erations where women of every creed and
political opinion could harmoniously unite
for the common good. Before the wom
en's clubs were formed Into great federa
tions, much strength and efficiency was
wasted on account of the competitions
and contentions between various associa
tions, each with a religious or social pur
pose that conflicted with or merely dupli
cated the object of some other associa
tion. When the Federations were organized,
it was felt Imperative to keep all issues
on which sincere opinions differ on reli
gion or politics out of the general work
for civic and social betterment Without
the ballot and without the political temp
tation to Indulge in partisanship, women
have used the State and general federa
tions of women's clubs for the benefit
and advancement of civilization as well
as themselves and their children.
Broad Scope of Work.
Separate organizations have been
formed to meet almost every social
need of our country. Besides the associa
tions to stimulate art and literature, or
ganizations have been formed to do away
with child labor, to Increase civic clean
liness, and sanitation, to protect young
girls, to get better legislation for women
In Industry, to train women to better
knowledge of wifehood and motherhood,
or to means of self-support In womanly,
respectable, and pleasant occupations.
A list of the various women's organiza
tions which are at the forefront of our
general advancement would be too long
to print here without slighting many that
are worthy of special articles on their
activities alone. But the greatest and
most powerful asset to organized womn
In America has been their union on moral
and educational reforms. Independent of
sect and party.
The California Federation of Woman's
Clubs passed the following resolution
last May, after a three years experience
with noman suffrage In that State. "Re
solved. That we protest against using
the Influence and agencies of State and
District Federation to further partisan
and political Interests, and that we work
for the moral and educational movements
on which women stand practically
united."
This then, is what womu suffrage does
to organized women Robs them of the
strength and unity of a non-partisan,
non-political moral and educational In
fluence which It would be a desecration
to attempt to count In ballot boxes.
These are not Idle statements. The his
tory of woman suffrage Is a record of
impotence to effect any of the great
measures which all women desire, though
the same political machinery and mani
pulation which Is used by men. Wyom
ing, with forty-five years of woman suf
frage, has remained the forty-seven Com
monwealth In our Union from 1S63 to tha
present day. Colorado, where women
have voted twenty-one jears. Is the only
State In the country that has had to be
put partially under martial law by the
Federal authorities twice In ten years to
safeguard Its sovereignty from anarchy
and riot and protest the lives of Its
women and children. Pennsylvania. West
Virginia, Michigan and Montana have
all had problems similar to Colorado's,
but In none of thes States has so much
corruption and Inefficiency In adminis
tration developed that the United States
government has had to take military ac
tion upon the protest of foreign coun
tries, as was done In Colorado last
spring. And the soldiers are still there
because the State with a generation of
"votes for women" Is incapable of self
government and must be run from
Washington like a Territory.
Montana, a neighboring State with the
same social and mining question to solve,
with Its chief city recently overrun with
anarchists and agitators bent on creat
ing another Colorado situation, has clear
ed up Its problems without Federal aid.
merely because, under male suffrage, no
administrative and mllltla scandals, pack

fair, you say, to blame the suffragists
for Colorado? But the Colorado people
themselves think It Is. Mr. J B. Malln.
of Denver, denounced "votes for women"
as directly responsible for the conditions
which brought about the anarchy which
makes the presence of Federal soldiers
In Colorado still necessary to preserve
order, four months after the Ludlow af
fair. And the New York Sun commented
on Mr. Malln's statements, editorially as
follows: "Perhaps the worst blow yet
struck at woman suffrage Is the asser
tion made by Mr. J. B. Malln. of Denver.
that It Is responsible for the condition of
armed Insurrection recently prevailing
In Colorado. The State government he
says Is weakened by twenty years of
woman suffrage, which has succeeded In
eliminating the strong and placing the
weak in office.' Whether Mr. Malln is
correct or not In his discrimination of
the cause, there can be no doubt as to
the fact The government of Colorado
has shown Itself weak to the level of
Imbecility. It must be borne In mind
that this Is one of the results of woman
suffrage, which Its opponents always
foreshadow."
Colorado might still clear Itself from
blame, and the suffragists claim an alibi
were It not that State's second offense.
Its second failure In self-government
Has everybody forgotten 1904. and the
campaign Gen. Bell had to make in Colo
rado then to the same purpose, namely
the preservation of order In the mining
districts? Why has no other State gov
ernment under male suffrage failed so
miserably and so often as Colorado?
Better labor conditions are the chief
demand on which suffragists ask for the
vote. If we have worse labor conditions
in a State where women have voted
twenty-one years than anywhere else In
the country, who Is to Name?

as well as protective legislation, women
have gained their ends without the vote.
Not only that but they have won better
laws, greater privileges and wider oppor
tunities through the moral Influence of
their United womanhood than they can
ever hope to realize as Imitators of men

States where women have attained honor,
recognition and social power by "Indirect

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw Is even now us

and Colorado, trying to stem the tide of
public condemnation of tha Congressional
Union's militant methods. Dr. Shaw has
no vote In these States neither have the
union leaders who are also using "indi

her. And the women who have the ballot
in Colorado and- California present the
sorry spectacle of being helpless In their
own communities, ot calling on the
national suffrage president to use her
"Indirect influence" to counteract that of
the Congressional Union.

the various melting pots, blacklists, and
other hysterical "stunts" the suffragists
Indulge, to convince us that the whole
movement is that of disintegration, di
vision, and political partition? Just this
'ast week another Independent organiza
tion of suffragists was formed on semi
national lines to give office and political
opportunity to a third small band of
women who think they want to "run"
something like men do.
This waa the Southern States suffrage
conference, which is pretending to pro
tect the Democrats from the fierce on
slaught of the Congressional Union's
4.000 members, led. as Ida Husted Har
per says, by a "Pankhurst trained mili
tant" Do any of these suffrage organi
zations pretend to be Interested In any
thing else but the ballot? Have any one
of them ever faithfully stood by any real
reform advocated by all women? They
have officially denied ever having taken
any stand whatever on the liquor ques
tion, and not one State has ever gone
"dry" by women's vote, though temper
ance women have won eleven State-wide
prohibition campaigns by their moral In
fluence on the votes ot men. Not only
that but no suffragist even takes the
trouble to be absolutely honest in her
pleas for "votes for women." Do the
women who claim that "8.000,000 women
workers demand the ballot" ever tell you
that there are only 8.073,000 feminine
workers over ten years of age In every
gainful occupation In America, or that
4.KS.3T7 of that number are engaged In
agricultural pursuits and domestic serv
ice, or that 2.11331 are negroes' Do
the persons who tell you that "4.000,000
women vote now" confess that the total
number of women enfranchised In the
nine full suffrage States. 1.WU53, Is 115.
Mi lss than the mature feminine popu
lation of the single State of Pennsyl
vania. Keep the Troth Concealed.
Do the pleaders that women have gone
out of the home and therefore need the
ballot ever tell you that of the 24.5SS.754
women of voting age In the United States
20.515.S32 ere or have been married, and
are keeping house In 17.SO5.00O separate
homes where our 20,-55,565 families are
under the direct social Influence of
women? Do the suffragists ever an
nounce that Colorado defeated prohibi
tion November 5. 1912, by a majority of
40.837 votes, 1K.774 ballots being cast for
the saloons? Do they tU you that If
only 58 per cent of the. 213.CS Colorado
women over twenty-one had voted for
temperance at that election It would
have won by 6,012 votes without a single
male ballot In Its favor?
Why do the suffragists conceal these
facts and figures, ignore tha record ot
suffrage States and attempt to gain their
ends solely by spectacular sensational
Ism and the packing of conventions where
woman suffrage Is "slipped through." as
they call !t. with the same hysteria, emo
tionalism and disregard for study, so
briety and common sense that charac
