Mrs. Blatoh, as everybody knows, 4 the daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and one of the foremost Suf- fragists in the United Staton to-day. “T should not care to express a de- talied opinion on tho Cotillo bill, she added, “until after I have read {ts provisions, but years ago Sena- tor Brackett introduced @ #milar measure and never dared press it to @ conclusion because we showed tho absurdity of asking women to ¢x- press an opinion when, according to the Constitution, thelr opinion can- not count one way or the other.” SUFFRAGIST SECRETARY SURE OF A FAVORABLE VOTE. “Speaking for myself,” said Miss Hannah J. Patterson, Corresponding Secretary of the National Woman Suffrage Association, “I should be perfectly willing to permit the ques- tion of Suffrage to be submitted to the women of Now York State, and should be perfectly confident of the result, But such an experiment would be foolish and expensive and hardly fair, since, knowing ‘their votes would have no effect on the ‘aoue, @ great many women would not take the trouble to vote,” “I think it is the most undqmo- cratic thing I ever heart of!" ox- claimed Mrs. Annie Nathan Meyer, euthor, playwright, founder of Bar- nard College and identified with the forces opposed to the enfranchise- ment of women. “Why can’t the eccopt the opinion of the overwhelming majority of the voters | trocd who declared against them in No- vember?” sho asked. “But the Suffragisia don't want this referendum. They are opposed ‘to it,” I interrupted Mrs. Meyer. “Well, I'm opposed to it, too," Mrs. Meyer exclaimed, So, for a brief sec- ond, harmony brooded over the armed camps of the Suffragists and their opponents, “I'm opposed to it be- cause i'm oppoved to anything reviv- ing this question, which should be considered settied for a few years anyhow. I think the Suffragists’ at- titude in keeping up thelr agitation, in refusing to know when they are beaten, is opposed to all the prin- ciples ‘of democracy on which they base their claims to the vote. ‘Sow’I'm not a Democrat,” Mrs. Meyer added, “but you Suffragists Slaim to be. Why can’t you accept the opinion of the voters and keep quiet for awhile, at least? There you are, over in Washington, bothering about a Federal Amend- ment, when Congress needs every moment of its time for more im- rtant things. Of course there could be no doubt of the result of such a referendum. It would merely echo the decision made by the voters last November, since every man took the opinion of some woman before he voted.” Mrs. Meyer made the guilt of the ts,in refusing to know when they are licked so very personal that she scared me. woman before he votes, why not let the women vote every other election after each of them has taken tho opinion of some man?
