Prominent Athenians Write On
(< Woman and the Ballot”
. May 3. 1923.
Whether we approve or are op-
Ipoged to Equal Suffrage Is no
longer a matter for discussion. It
Is a settled situation. If the wo
men do not register, designedly to
show their disapproval, It Is of no
more value than lr they simply
fell to register. By registering they
are In (position to exercise their
privilege, when Issues arise,
though no one can require them to
do so. By not registering they ere
deprived of this privllte however
much they may wish, st the, time,
to exerclio IL By registering they
have nothing to lose thay may
hare something to gain. Under,our
syslenl there is just as much rea-
son for the men to fail to register
as for the women.
Very sincerely yours.

Whatever the individual woman
ma yhavo thought ot the quo hi ion
ot the franchise for woni*‘n, it is
now a fact As they have tho right
to vote they have tho ccrr;?t»end
ing responsibility to vote and to
vote thoughtfully. I would there
fore say that any woman who falls
to register and vote belongs to
tlid destructive forces that ea-
danger our national life. •
