What you’re looking at

This page presents satirical arguments *supporting* women's suffrage, contrary to anti-suffrage claims. Author Ida Husted Harper counters opposition rhetoric through anecdotes: **The Oregon woman** killed wildcats—refuting claims women are "weak and nerveless" for voting. **Cleveland's annexation problem** exposes anti-suffragists' hypocrisy: if voting is truly a "heavy burden," why do women resist losing it? **The D.A.R. dilemma** shows suffrage cannot be avoided—all four presidential candidates supported it anyway. **Arkansas's primary voting** highlights legal absurdities when women gain partial voting rights. **Ohio's bathing ordinance** sarcastically suggests anti-suffragists will blame women's suffrage for any new laws (implying their reasoning is circular and irrational). **Viviani's quote** ironically notes women's "patient suffering" has gone unrewarded in government despite waiting longer than other groups. The page mixes these arguments with advertisements (B.V.D. undergarments, Island House resort), typical of Judge's format.

R., a circular was sent to ali the members warning them against’ a_ certain candidate for the presidency she was a suffragist and likely to involve the society inthe suffrage movement. When they came to take stock of the candidates they found all four of them were suffragists and hing could save the society from impending doom,” so they elected the who was herself a voter. * HE Legislature of Arkansas ferred on women the right to vote at all primaries on the same terms as men, but rot at elections. The primary law reads that all citizens may vote who pay a poll tax and swear to vote on election day for the same candidates they voted for at the pri maries. It looks as if that State were going to have a problem to “rassle” with * its has con- HE New York Legislature finally dropped the bill which provided for killing all cats that were not licensed. Thus *he ats saved one of tia nine lives. ACT i in Ohio hee 1s passed an ordinance requirin inhabitants to bathe, and has guaranteed a divorce to the man or oman whose conjugal partner refuses to comply with the law. Now the anti-sufira- gists will say that something of this kind was bound to happen when the Legislature passed that woman sufirage bill s MSs! R OF JUSTICE VIVIANI says: “The President’s Message ex- Presses the virtues of your race—long- suffering patience before appealing to force, and force to nge that long- suffering patience when there can be no other means.” Apparently this must be considered a virtue in all the race except the women who have waited so long and Patiently for a voice in the Goverment.
