Cause io Ohio. HARRIETTAVLORUPTONWRITES Question of Woman's Rights Agitated Since the Days of I860 and Every Advance Step'Was Duo to Strenuous Efforts on the Part of Women of Spartan Mold—Terse Review of the Growth; of the Movement. , Women of all clashes, professions political affiliations, degreea of wealth or lack -of it, have come out into ,the open and are asking recogni­ tion from 'the state' for tlieir loyal Service and support. The only way to get the suffrage question, by fore the people Is to talk to the people directly, Thla la hard for women especially, add nearly all of them who are- doing it are put­ ting aside timidity and natural reluc­ tance to attract comment and ridicule. They are in deadly earnest, and to heir one Of tln?m tel! the reasons that move her to this extraordinary step is to recognize Ihe* justice and the expediency from every point Of view of giving the women Of Ohio political equality with the men. The crowds are .always favorable, for American men admire pluck and they appre­ ciate the fact that the women are coming straight to them and asking for a square deal. The women active in the cause are from all walks of life, hose Shneldefman is a Russian Jewess and a trade unionist; Margaret Foley is of Irish descent, also A trado unionist; J-IIIft Reeves Blobr Is a Socialist; Eliz­ abeth ,Hauser Is of German descent, a journalist; Elizabeth,.Ycliauss wan a factory inspector; Jeannette Rankin la a farmer; Florence Allen S# a mu­ sician; Louise Hall is a teacher; and vo On by the score. Women who have led sheltered and exclusive Jives In their home cities, like Mrs. William, Neill Ring of Columbus, Mrs, Percy ,A correspondent wrote the other day, “How did it happen that Ohio women got so far on the road so sud­ denly?" Of course I. replied politely. Nothing In the lilBtory of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association was a happening. Every advance step was tho result of effort on the part of women, and sometimes heroic effort. In 1850 women gathered from dif­ ferent parts of the United States in convention a t Salem, O. This body memorialized the conslilutionai con­ vention to grant women political and other rights, and now some one .says “so suddenly." Slacty-two years ago! Only two delegates to that convention Beriously considered this question, and one of them, Mr. Gray of Lake county, outlived every other delegate and saw -women demonstrate tlreir fitness for citizenship. The debates on tho me­ morial to the convention were, so low that it was voted to strike them from the minutes, - The question of woman’s rights con­ tinued to be agitated till tho slavery question overshadowed everything. Then Ohio women, like most other women, lent a hand in the cause of the emancipation of th© black man. After the war Was over a state asso­ ciation was formed which worked for a time and died, in the meantime wonien “Were appearing before legisla­ tures -demanding or pleading, accord­ ing to temper and condition, for the bettel-ment of Jaws, In 1885, Frances M, Casement of PAinesvitle, with Others, reorganized the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, which hks been a t wOi-k ever since.

Raymond Brown, Mrs, TOwncend, Mrs, 1‘enfleld,'chair­ man of the Woman Suffrage Party, Harriot Stanton Blatcb, president of the Women’s Political Union, andllbV, Anna Shaw, president of the national association. Laura Clav of Kentucky, .Rachel Foster Avery of Pennsylvania and Ella Stewart of Chicago, former members of the national'board, all gave severat weeks’ tltuf; lastly, from, Chicago comes Jane Addams to speak for the amendment In August, These are only a few of the women who have been prominent in this sum­ mer’s suffrage work, in Ohio, Each city in the state counts Its leading Women in the roll. The best woman­ hood of Ohio Is devoting its servlcbs to the cause and many stntes are sending their best to aid their sisters, It was at a street suffrage meeting in Dayton. A school teacher was passing literature. A well dressed man leaning aeohwt- a pout refused to take it, tils surly look gave way to it grin, however, when the teacher smiled at him and queried in her swre’-tot .tones, “Can’t tend?” Mrs. Casement vice president. 'Judge Taylor could not serye hecausd of, con- ‘' grebblpngf, ^ launched tper Work. She Is how hon-' orary president of the assoclatldnmnd Is working" Actively In the campaign., . : School suffrage was granted to the wohten of Ohio in'J804, and.Caroline' McCullough, Everkard Was president at. that time. She, Mrs. Ciayppole, secretary, and ' Mrs, Colt,,treasurer,*' " Were among those who Worked hard for the passage of" this Jaw. Efforts Rewarded. The years' of 1D11 and 1912 will never ho forgotten by Ohio suffragists, From the announcement of the first candidates as delegates to the consti­ tutional eonvehtlon till It adjourned, nothing was left undone to further tho cause of our amendment-. Candi­ dates were interested before election* and a committed .was in Cblumbus watching everything ‘closely; A hear­ ing was had before the committee*on equal suffrage, which was attended by the full committee, and this* was not true of any other hearing; There Was standing room only and on the day when- the association opposed to the further extension of suffrage for women addressed the ‘committee, that body reported, the vote being 20 for, 1 against. In the beginning 40' delegates were’ for us, while (Towere needed to carry- The night before we went to vote; our poll showed 76 fdr, and not one of these 7G changed-their minds. Two other readings were had in the fol­ lowing weeks, each time the number against being less. On the fourth reading the vote was 74 to 37, exactly two to one. Every effort was made to put our measure on a ballot by itself br on a ballot with the license amendment, but with no avail. Vfo now occupy a place in the middle of the list, with every chance of winning. We need only to h aw a majority of the votes cast on the question. The number of our amendment Is S3 and the vote will he taken Sept. 3. in tho history of the suffrage move-1 ment, ho campaign has attracted >0 much general interest in the east as has this. NO victory could ever hare "such far-reaching Influence as this.” Two enemies arb working against us—a hand of ignorant and futile * women, very few In number, And the federated forces of evil. The former makes no impression, for although It gathers the Opposed together, It awak­ ens the indifferent to action on oar side. Tho other is powerful and Will grow more powerful as the days ad­ vance. * Hundreds of Ohio women are giv­ ing all their time' through these hot summer days, not one receiving a cent of salary and most of them Meet­ ing their own expenses. Trained workers from the east and West hat* been in Service, with little or no ex­ pense to us. Mrs; Can once said to me in *11 sincerity; "I would be glad to , for the woman’s cause,* and I repriill 'T would not; life’* too sweet to toW 1 want to live for woman’s oaust,” hud tliih love for life and Action seems to fill the hearts of Ohio women, It’s not a hAttlo for lire, but a battle irttii "real life” at the end for all, HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON.
