Votes
Description
VOTERS are mostly men. Do you know why men are voters?
ONLY three reasons have been given why men should have the vote:
TAXATION without representation is tyranny; MEN are taxed. "Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed"; MEN are governed. This is a government "of the people, by the people and for the people"; MEN are people. These three maxims gave the vote to MEN.
EVERY movement in behalf of human rights with logic behind it, wins in the end.
SINCE WOMEN are taxed; WOMEN are governed; and WOMEN are people; it follows that the logic which gave the vote to MEN must give it to WOMEN.
Let it be Given in 1915
