''rt&fi
A final -word to the voters of the
state of Iowa, has been addressed by
Miss Flora Dimlap, president of the
Iowa Equal Suffrage association, on
the eve of the election, in which she
reviews the campaign in flavor of the
equal suffrage amendment and asks
the support of the voters for this.
The letter is as follows:
It is ndt often that one state has
an opportunity to write a plank in
the platforms of two great political
parties.
If the suffrage amendment carries
In Iowa on Monday there is no ques
tion but that the voters of this state
will have written equal suffrage for
women into the national platforms of
both the republican and democratic
parties.
Iowa has bad a large share in na
»-. tional movements and the suffrage
workers of the state are confident'
that the vote on Monday will keep
Iowa to the front in national affairs,
The sufCrage organizations of the
state have carried on a vigprous cam
paign for the past year. Influential
and capable women in every county
in
tbe
state have taken part in the
campaign. Ttte question is often
asked, "Do Iowa women want the bal
lot?" The answer is "Yes." Almost
every organisation of women of size
and influence In the state have en
dorsed suffrage and urged their mem
bers to assist in tbe oampaign.
Thousands are at Work.
Two thousand women are enrolled
at state sufCrage headquarters as
county, town and township chairmen.
These are only the leaders. Under
them acre thousands of committee
members and working suffragists.
Every oounty in the state has a cen
tral organization- These suffrage
workers are home women, church
workers, dub women, working, busi
ness and professional women. They
are all Iowa, women. Tfaey have joined
forces and all are working for the
ballot. They are working for this one
Issue, woman suffrage.
Thesfe women appeal to the voters
of the state to vote "yes," on Mon
day. ijhey ask for an affirmative vote
'because tbey believe that women
should "bare a voice In the govern
ment under which they live, whose
Jaws they obey, and a part of whose
taxes they pay. Because they believe
the "yirtMWM of Che state should hare
a voice In making the conditions un
hi der which they rear their children.
Because they believe the sixteen thou
sand women engaged in farming
should have a voice in making the tax
levy. Because they believe the twen
ty-ftve thousand women school teach
ers who are engaged in teaching
future citizens, should themselves be
Cull cftizess. Because they believe
the one hundred and thirteen thou
"Band wage-earning women in the
state should have the same represen
tation as the wage-earning men. Be
cause they believe the women of
Iowa are the equals of the women of
the twelve states already having full
suffrage. Because the txperience of
the twelve full suffrage states proves
that woman suffrage is a practical
working issue and adds no burden to
the tax payer. Because they wish
Iowa to have the honor of placing
equal- suffrage plaxiks in the platforms

of two great political parties. Be
cause they believe that women are,
as a whole, as economical, as fair,
and as interested in good government
as men as a whole. Finally, because
they believe that it is just and fair
that all men and all women shall have
an equal voice in government.
Because they believe these things,
the women of Iowa ask the men of
Iowa to vote "yes" on Monday on the
constitutional amendment granting
suffrage to women and because they
believe that the men of Iowa are just
arid fair, they are confident that the
suffrage amendment will carry.
