WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS ISSUE STRONG APPEAL Jackson, Miss.. Sept. 10—Mrs. Lily Wilkinson Simpson, of this city, chaii man of the press and publicity com mittee of the Mississippi Woman Suf frage Association, has lssed the fol lowing address discussing the move ment in this state, with especial refer ence to the recent primaries. During the recent political cam paign. apparently Mississippi women were as interested in results as Mis sissippi men. For weeks previous to the election where two or more wo men were gathered together, conversa tion was sure to take a political turn. Evening News declared that "house wives had deserted their kitchens to discuss politics." They electioneered for their favorite candidates, by pee sonal interviews, by letter, and in some cases, by means of the press At public meetings where candidates presented their pleas of favor, It would have taken a court to deter mine that more men were presen* than women. The women were sym pathetic in their attention, liberal with their applause, or pronounced in ttaeiv criticism. That they were independ ent in their partisanship, was evi ftenced by the well known fact that <rften the preferences of the wife, or mother, or sister were at variane - with those of the husband, or son, or brother, and so on. In Jackson, on the evening preced tag the election, hundreds of women thronged the streets to view the dem onstrations in honor of the two sen atorial candidates, and swarmed to the , . Coliseum and Smith park, where Mr Williams at one place and Governor Vardaman at the other gave their words of final command. The next day the men fared forth to the battle of ballots, leaving the hosts of Mississippi women, with all their Interest and enthusiasm, behind with the rest of the non-voting class, the children, the Idiots, lunatics and convicts. The candidates themselves did not fail to reckon with this feminine in terest. Literature was ransacked for its choicest tributes to the "fair sex." and these were thrown in a shower of bouquets at the women, from the platform. They were lilies of purity, roses of sweetness, and violets of the mossy brim. They were ministering ^gels, and vestal virgins 'tending the hearth fires of the gods, not a cause in heaven or earth that had a feather's weight of vforth but had a woman in it, and the hand that rocked the cradle ruled the world. In short, everything delightful and de sirable was theirs, excepting votes, which, after all, are the only things Wjiiob count in a political contest. r 'Those who addressed their hearers Jas "Ladies and Fellow Citizens," sum med up the anomalous situation. With the foregoing observations in , mind. I hope the following queries may not be considered ill-timed: Should the intelligence, the patriot ism, the conscience of Mississippi '4 There was WO 1? .THE DAILY NEW 17/ 11 a*B ■Hu Job Department is the best Printery in Hattiesburg nu3 Jo toot s no * " dv Sdadorq a j 6 o) bo- _ _ * for Up-to-Date Work.

In four western states they do, and they say that they get back from the polling place before the bread has time to run over the pan on the kitchen floors into the back yard. Will not the hand that rocks the cradle rock just as well If It be the right hand'of freedom rather than the left hand of subjection? As long as Mississippi women have access to the tax list, and the peni tentiary, may they not Justly have ac cess to the polls? Would not the bal lot in the hands of women afford them the quickest, quietest method of ef fecting legislation, for is not an ounce of voing worth a pound of petition ing? Chapter 47 of the Mississippi Code provides that women may vote upon the stock law, and as "free holders" they occasionally do so. Is it more "womanly" to vote which decides as to whether live gtock shall be confined or roam at will, than to vote for mayor or governor, or ynited States senator? Mississippi has led in many instances, In the march of woman's progress. Will lt not take the lead still further, in be ing the first of the Southern sister hood of states to grant full suffrage to its women? in an election Would not the enfranchij Mississippi women, coming^ will offering from the Mississippi men, be the most glorious piece of gallantry ever performed by the most brilliant set of men on earth? Are we not, af ter all is said, merely "Daughters of Men?" Does not the same blood which flows through their veins flow through ours?
