THE MADISONIAN, VIRGINIA CITY, MONT., OCT. 23, 1914. Peter Grant for County Commissioner. ONLY THE MOST, HIDEBOUND CONSERVATIVE Would dare to find fault with a man who came into„ this county to in- vest his life savings and make a home for hinself and his chil- dren. That the so-called republican organ should sneer at Peter Grant as \a new comer\ is simply due notice given that new blobd of the energetic and industrious kind is not welcome, and that intelligent and honest men with money to invest and new homes to make are not wanted. FORTUNATELY . FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,It does not hold such views.. It welcomes the investor, the home seek- er. the home maker and the laborer; and is pleased to have! 'them locate permanently within our boundaries. NORTHERN MADISON COUNTY. rich and progressive, asks for representation on the board of county commissioners for the next six. years. No one can gainsay the fact that these people.are making a most reasonable request. Hence the can- Ilidacy-of Peter Crant will be received with favor everyvvhere.in Vladison.county..- . PETER ORPAIT IS A NATIVE OF WISCONSIN, born at Ber , in in that staff:, on January 1st, 1859. He resided there with fiis pprprte -, mtil 10 years of ageonovingvto Nodaway county, !le remained until he was 21. He knows what hard 1 , nvinli gone to Dillon in -1881 and employed his time in oisti iuniber camps of Montana until 1884. Serving four years thereafter for the old Utah & Northern•railway as fireman between Pocatello and Butte, his skill and intelligence brought him rapid promotion. FOR SIXTEEN YEARS HE WAS ENGINEER on the Ore- gon Short Line. a position requiring steady habits, courage, a clear e9e and pood head, and executive ability of no mean -4, 1 / 4 measure. He left the railroad in 1904, and invested his savings in a fine farm near Pony, where he has been Most successful owing to his progressive ideas and tireless - energy. ESSENTIALLY A HOME MAN HE BELIEVES in good schools and nood roads. He desires the best there is in the way • of an education for his own and other people's children. He is friend of rood Schools, and he believes in good roads as.a *--------cmgt—itneef4ant--means for the growth and advancement . of his county's welfare. THE NEXT COUNTY COMMISSIONER was married at On- ion in 1889 to Miss Fannie W. Furneson, and they have foul' children—two boys and two girls. The older boy is a student at the University of Missoula, and three younger children are in the public schoo's at. Pony. MADISON COUNTY WILL NOT ERR in choosing Peter Grant to serve six years in the responsible position of county commissioner. Cut the Truth a Little Short. JUST TO KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT it is well to call attention to tin fact that the county superinendent is serving her th'rd term and asking for fourth at this election: SOMEBODY MAY READ THE SO-CALLED republican or - pin and takt for the truth its•statement that the present super.., irtendent \has . been elected two terms.\ On the other hand, the dernoeratIc nominee is making her first campaign for, the office. mipos{D TO suirRAG[ tenvi,t,ic:nkedlm,iagshtiheinirtenndaedtu,raasl I .,:n page One.) to 'us,us, to use at' some future time for personal, political advancement. It has been often said that the women have the right to vote. We do -not dispute that, but we do con- tend that the suffragist vote'does not nor will not tend to better govern- ment.' Past experience supports our contention. . It has, been heralded - over this land that' the influence of the suffragist vote would exercise a good moral ef- fect, particularly in the suppeession of the liquor traffic. Facts are the — bulwarks of an argument. 4n the last national election the equal suf- frage stile of Colorado voted on state-wide prohibition, with the re. suit that prohibition was defeated. The male suffrage, state of West Vir- ginia at the same election voted for state-wide prohibition. Virginia, also a - male suffrage_ state, recently did likewise. Kentucky, also a male suf- frage state, with 120 counties, has only fourteen wet counties—the re- mainder being dry. The equal sulk - frage state of California is a wet state. \Why is not this much vaunt- ed influence being eirefcised? - if the saftragists in Colorado and California are united„ and plus the man vote committed to prehibition, it would ih- dicate the saffragists ha* had the op- portunity, but results prove their failure. Many suffragists these - days dis- claim that they ever used any slogan to -abolish the sale of liquor. Com- mon sense would. prompt one to he: that- a 'woman who hitil the poster, would fight fer the suppres- s an of liquor above all things.- De- • velopments have shown that the mor- al influence prentiseel by suffragists affecting the sale of liquor has been eide-tracked. • Much has been said of the Eman! cipation of .Woman. Emancipation f=-om what? The word \emancipate\ as Appropriately' usbk11 . ! in. riyil War cl-rrs. Emancipate means to fr+e, to release from bondage. Is . it bondage because we want our wemankind to stincts prompt them? Or should we fashion them into a new creature and rob her. Of the womanliness that is natural to most of them? The term •\elingfrarvirrem - ia-sneet lagli -thrown -, at her. May the Almighty give us the .\clinging in preference to the woman affecting masculinity! Whenever a woman wants to vote on political matters, and eventually' to hold office, she loses in a large meas- ure the time-honored deference, cour- tesy and - chivalry she has enjoyed from the men of this country i _Say whit you will, every man.dovrn in . his heart will always, as 0: yore, hold .most dear to his ideals the' woman Whairtotitelit. arid - who has sufficient confidence in the intelligence and in- tegrity of the men of this country to - legislate-for the woman -at --well as for himself, and the making of. good Jaws is for the betterment of all. There appears to exist a feeling of west and discontent among some women. One would Ahirik that the men had suddenly degenerated, and had been transformed into a cold; un- apt/pathetic creature; his manhood had gone a -glimmering, and his men- tality had been partially destroyed. Taxation without representation is ' another war cry of the atiffragists, It must be understood that only a small, percentage ,,of the Womers-owa_ property in their own names' dr pay taps. They are recognized in the eyes of the 'seas having Joint in- terest with their husbands in prop : , ertia.and that is as it should be. Out Auffragist friends claim they should vote,' nasmuch as they own property. From the fact she did vote, how ;would that lessen her tax, or in any way impreve matters!! Let us be fair with ene • 'another. Is it not a fact that you want to vote just be, cause you . want to votenet•that you rather expect te improve conditions at 'all? It may sound brutal to assume - that our friends have absorb& a quantity of egotIsm, and -yet have they net done so? •By making an analysis, , and viewing this question from all I of 'the angles that we possess, we cannot by any reasoning . figure: but what the* have. 'They thinkln many . of the i msome.ntous questions of the day their vote will tend te better re - 'suits than the man by his vote can do alone. Ladies, you have failed to make good. Facts are the arbiters. Isolated cases are not numerous enough on your side to support you. From the fact' that with the assist- ance of the men you have secured local option in some town or county, or helped to improve the condition in a factory, does not mean that men have not done the same thing, and on a larger scale, and prompted from a humane . standpoint, at that. . A matter that should interest the voters is the doubling of the elector- ate, should equal suffrage prevail. From necessity, election expenses would be' materially increased, and the increased number of votes will only mean the same result e4vhere male suffrage only existed. 'Mere is the reason: No one will assume that our lady suffragiats can maintain a separate political party. - Their hal l lots will be engulfed in the whirl-, pool of, politics, to be counted to the credit of the respective political par- ties --,--some voting the republican,. democratie, progressive, socialist, prohibition or any other party, had you will vote your political prefer- ence, no more or less different than' .the men, and pardon -us for saying that you will. be exploited by poll-, tiCians for your votes. You may take pleasure in assuming that no man -will influence' your vote, but mark you. the •iron jaw and, bull dog tenacity will avail you nothing. -A community pursuing the even tenor of its way, contented and peace- ful, is invaded by an agitator of some' sort. The suffragist speaker mounts the platform and launches forth, and dilates upon the wrongs that al . ki in- flicted upon our women, and the in- efficiency of the men 'to continue to legislate and make_ the laws. Thus, the seeds of discontent are sown, and another crop of suffragists has grown. These, new adherents nave not. consulted their better judgment, but are swayed by the fallacious; statements- of the speaker, and it is ever thus. This is the day of fads, and a speaker will, on any subject, in a Measure, have, part of the audience with him, no matter whether the sub- ject has merit in it or not. We wonder and - T,Ver — thInk it strange that the 'suffragists' in Mon- tana, where there exists but little, if any, child labor, and reinotA fro:n child labor, should all at once develop such a deep interest in the' welfare of children employed in factories, in view of the fact that the large ma- jority of the women in those states, where child A labor does exist, in the greater number, are opposed to equal suffrage. We cannot assume that those women in the male suffrage manufacturing states are less hu- mane, or less interested in the ris- ing generation than our suffragist friends in Montana. The people of Montana know that in our school elections the women cast oaly a small vote comparative to their full - voting strength, - all ot which relates to the betterment of education- and the welfare of the children. . Returns from the elections in equal suffrage' states show .that the Ks- c'erktage 'of votes cast' by women is much less than cast by men, as re- lates to their respective voting Mien - fa: This would indicate that a lack of interest is manifested 'on the part of. the women, or some other cause,- but at all events whatever that may be, it would not conceal the fact that the expense of maintaining a double electorate' is not justified. . To summarise, we wish to say that this article is written to protect the women of this-atate,•-and-ta call up- on the 'voters of this state to. give this matter the fullest consideration before casting your ballot in favor of equal suffrage. Commune with. youtself, taking into consideration what the result will be, affecting the women of this state, 'remembering what percentage of the women are taking the initiative in this move: Ment, .which has wrought discontent and r dissension in a more or less de- gree between the men and women of this country.

Union Workingmen and Agricultur- ists Always Stand Economically Opposed to Each Other Some of the labor unions of Mon- tana are endeavoring to hoodwink the farmers of the slate into support- ing the compensation bill, Initiative Measure No. 7, by representing the worker and the farmer as in a united attitude. against ,the manufacturing and industrial enterprises of the state. The fernier prodaeoe what the na- tion eats and 'weers. He wants to get as much for these things as he can. The workingman and all other classes consume what the farmer pro- duces. They want to get these things as cheap as they can. We submit that the interests of the farmer and of the workingman lie along paths, which run in exactly opposite direc- tions. • The farmer who casts a vote for the compensatiiin bill is voting for the man who would rather see him ctet ten cents a bushel less for his wheat, than five cents a bushel more, and he is also, voting to increase his own taxes arul cost of living.
