Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 219, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1920 — WHEN WOMEN VOTE. [ARTICLE]

WHEN WOMEN VOTE.

We’re hearing a good bit of talk in Rensselaer these days about what will come to pass npw that it looks as though the women of tile nation are to have the ballot. In fact, just at this time it is an all-absorbing topic all over the United States. One man’s opinion is as good as another when it comes to predicting the outcome of this new reform. Both old-lihe parties claim it will help them. Each one claims to be the favorite of the new voter. So you can take your choice of either opinion. The women themselves, or the leaden Who have worked the hardest to bring about suffrage, claim they can poll ten million votes in the United States/ There are others who declare they can't get more than five or ten out of every hundred women en- ' titled to a vote to go to the polls and cast it. And you are at -liberty to believe either side of this argument you want to. It’s a political year, one filled With all kinds of wild-eyed rumors, and the man who can’t find something to suit his own personal opinions to - certainly hard to satisfy. - Personally, we are not venturing an opinion as to just what difference it is going to make. All we know is there are enough good men and good women, honest men and honest women in this country -to h««p it from going to the dogs. All we know is that the majority is generally right, as our history shows. And we can dismiss the much-talked-of problem of suffrage by saying that the women of this countty may be depended on to do what they believe is best for the country. And whatever they do won’t be far wrong when everything is summed up.
