3. Anti-Suffrage

4. Vote NO on Woman Suffrage • You do not need a ballot to clean out your sink spout. • Why vote for pure food laws, when your husband does that, while you can purify your Ice-box with saleratus water • BECAUSE 90% of the women either do not want it, or do not care. • BECAUSE it means competition of women with men instead of co-operation. • BECAUSE 80% of the women eligible to vote are married and can only double or annul their husband’s votes. • BECAUSE it can be of no benefit commensurate with the additional expense involved. • BECAUSE in some States more voting women than voting men will place the Government under petticoat rule. • BECAUSE it is unwise to risk the good we already have for the evil which may occur
