2. No other or greater qualifications are ne-
cessary to vote for city officers than for school
officers.

3. The question of military service does not
enter into municipal suffrage. It is not customary
to declare war about the location and cost of
buildings, bridges and other public improvements.

4. Since the privileges of women voters may
be wholly taken away by the Legislature in granting a city charter which gives the appoint-
ment of school boards to city officers elected by
the votes of men only, it would seem that
municipal suffrage for women properly comes
under the control of the Legislature.

5. Kansas gave municipal suffrage to
women by an act of the legislature and the act
has been declared to be constitutional by the
courts. Municipal suffrage bills have been intro-
duced in the legislatures of Illinois and Nebraska
and the signs of the times indicate that favorable
action will be taken.

6. There is nothing in the Constitution of
the United States which prohibits women from
voting. In New Jersey they voted for President
for twenty-five years, and those who feared a
constitutional lion in the way of Wyoming's ad-
mission to the Union as a woman suffrage state
found that it was a stone lion and would not bite.

7. When the male citizens of New Jersey
chose to put the word male in their State Con-stitution they did so, for the property qualifica-
tion for voters and the little chance for women to
acquire property in the few pursuits that were
open to them at the low wages paid to them, left
few women to vote or to protest against the
abridgement of their privileges.

9. Woman's influence, like charity, begins at
home but should not end there.

10. In these days of crowded electric cars,
the objection of both sexes meeting at the polls
is out of date.

11. Granting municipal suffrage to women
abridges the privilege of no man and compels
nobody to exercise the right of suffrage.

12. If women will not vote nobody is injured by
their having the privilege; if they will vote or
if any woman anywhere will vote and is not per-
mitted to do so, there is an injustice which should
be remedied.

13. If a dozen women take no interest in pub-
lic affairs and one women is patriotic and philan-
thropic, she should not be disfranchised on
account of the indifference of other women.
