No "Womanly Woman" Want
Vote.
To the Editor of The T?ibune
Sir: Three cheers for Jersey! I am prou<
of my nativo state, which las voted agains
the monster of woman suffrage.
If the women would attend to their homei
and families matead of flying over the coun
try in automobiles decorated with th<>ir co!
ors atul making speeches in the streets, th?
country would be far better governed hy tin
men sad there would be fewer divorces
What they vunt any more rights for I do not
know.
Surely no womanly woman would want to
he represented in the government, and they
aroald muddle things most heaatifally by la
t-rfering, as they usually do. Yellow, which
msaas Jealousy, is a mo . appropriate color.

"The Crackle of Thorns."
"lo th'- i ditor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why do the "antis" acclaim the New
JersS] rssah as a glorious triumph?
Ten per cent change in the sentiment of
the electorate would have placed it in the
SSJVal -UtTra;-?- sts'c- forever. This victory
holds it only until the 10 per cent ia o.er
: come.
What ether cause has shown such strength
or it- first test? Imagine anti-slavery hav?
ing made such a record. And yet anti -luv
ery legislation wed not nei-essanly tine!, lt
could he revoked.
Hut who of the "antis" has not argued that
eafraaehisiag the women is an irrevocable
act?
And they exult on a ten per cent margin!
