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

men be counted at the polls? If wo
men "desert their kitchens to discuss
politics," might they not properly
leave that scene of their activtiies
long enough to vote? 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? Does not the love of
liberty and the desire for freedom of
