Opens Auspiciously For Opponents to Votes For Women.

THE battle Is now on! For the coming five months t and more New Jersey will be 1 the scene of one of the most c soul stirring campaigns ever waged In the political annals of the state — a cam- J palgn not between party and party and 1 man and man. but a conflict between Woman and woman, woman and man. 1 and man and woman — a campaign j 1 which from present Indications already i promises to be one of aggressive war- ] r fare — of struggle, strife, contention. ; I bitterness, beurtbuming excitement . I and agitation — which even now looks ' as If It will put to blush every political 1 conflict that has been fought within .1 or without Its borders. j 1 The question of woman suffrage is | { now squarely before the electorate. The \ legislature of New Jersey has fixed . j Oct 19 as the day u|>on which every t man of voting age will be given an op- i portunlty to meet the issue at the 1ml- | j lot box. and to then decide whether ' | or not the cares of national, state, { county and municipal, borough or . ] township government shall be added to ] the cares of womanhood. c The two contending hosts have al- \ ready set np their camps. The war- t fare which for the past few months • has been waged In a desultory and In- ( termlttent manner on the part of the < antl-suffraglsts has now been set In definite lines, and a plan of offensive t campaign has been outlined and i adopted. i Mobilization at Trenton. Antl-snffrngists mobilized on Monday ! 1 In the city of Trenton and set in mo Hon their drive to crush forever "votes for women" In this state. Under 'the i colors of the New Jersey Association ( Opposed^ to Woman Suffrage they held , an all day council In Masonic hall and | welded together their forces for an offensive warfare which is chartered to , reach the furthermost corners of the , state. , The meeting was the "antls" " first | formal thrust In the campaign. The antl spirit was at flood tide throughout the day. Victory was talked of only In figures of how the majority against "votes for women" was going to lie on Oct 19. Every antl was sanguine that the men of New Jersey would send up the majority against woman suffrage to the extent of 100.000. and Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge of New York, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, struck a responsive chord, which brought forth an outburst of cheers, when she declared: "If you will roll up 100.000 majoiliv In New Jersey we will meet you with 290.000 each In New York and Pennsylvania and a large majority in the state of Massachusetts." which, by the way. are the four eastern states that will decide tills great question this fall. Annual Meeting. . The day's proceedings were o|«ncd with the annual meeting at 10::»0. when reports -were heard from the presidents of the twenty-one couuty organizations. This was followed by a luncheon at 1 o'clock, during whl. h there were brief Informal' talks by members of the association. The day was rounded out with an enthusinstic mass meeting, attended by a mlxe.l audience, which filled the spacious j ball, who heartily echoed the sentlmeuts of the different speakers and voiced their sympathy with emphatic applause. The spontaneous expressions were Interpreted by the speakers and workers as pledges of unfailing support and the prosecution of a campaign thn» would bring home a victory of wbi<-b the "antls" could be proud. Every county of the state had its delegates on band for the three meetings, and the gathering, considered as jpwhole. comprised the most representative women ever assembled to map oat a campaign on political issues. Every phase of American citizenship was present— the wealthy, the middle and the working classes— and they were all a unit In declaring they did not desire the ballot and that a large majority of the women of the state were also of the same opinion respecting the right of suffrage. Mrs. Prsston Contributes. Not only was the need of driving, persistent offensive effort Impressed npon the workers, but their attention wu called Just as emphatically to the fact that money was required. The statement that the vice and liquor rings of the country were behind the antl-snffrage movement was stigmatized by Mrs. Breese as an unqualified falsehood, and the books of the tress ury were thrown open with the challenge to find one penny that could noi

be accounted for as coming from contributors whose character and busl- I ness were unquestionable of any man woman In the state. - Mrs. Breese announced that Mrs. T. J. Preston. Jr., formerly Mrs. Cleve- , bad sent a large contribution. I The annual meeting was character- I by deep Interest and optimistic j Mrs. E.

with the most disastrous consequences n not only to the state but to the race. M Against Economic Law. "It la against economic low because it proposes to set two persons to d" I JJ the work of one. With men alone vot- 1 lng we were tolerably governed. With ® women alone voting we should probably, after a period sufficiently long for the accumulation of practical expert- ^ ence, be tolerably governed. There Is no more sense in placing the same bur- ^ den on both tban t lie re would be In ^ duplicating labor in any other occupa ' Hon. a mistake which modern efficiency £ has set Itself resolutely to eliminate. ^ Against Biologic Law. |c "It is against biologic law and the w law of evolution, because nature in the p development of the sexes has indicated w clearly by difference of function what j tl was ber intent.

Only In so far as he adheres n I to It can man hope to win the best ii results or to gain them most economl- n . cally. a | "Nowhere Is this differentiation more n . plainly Insisted upon by nature than In <-' ; the difference between the sexes.

results claimed for IL Mrs. Dodge B said further: 1 "The first commission to investigate c a minimum - wage for women was ap- * pointed in the male suffrage state of A Massachusetts. The fundamental -basis & of a standard law for woman In In- 6 d us try is acknowledged to be the pro- r hibltion of night work because of the 1 damaged health of the working woman who Is engaged In Industrial pursuits by night and undertakes woman's a work In the home by day. Nebraska, s and Indiana blazed the ' path for this legislation. Within the " last year the great Industrial states of 1 York and Pennsylvania have fol- 0 lowed. In none of these states do ' women vote, but In all of these states f public opinion has demanded that 1 woman should not be hanidlcapped In offering of her highest efficiency. 1 state cannot permit the creation 1 of the efficient worker at the cost of ' efficient woman. Equal suffrage c would demand that woman should en- - into competition with man In a fair f field with favor to none, but woman's 1 welfare demands protection under the £ Men Make Beet Lewi. 'The best child labor laws are found 1 male suffrage states. Industrial and i economic conditions have revealed the < necessity of these lows. Public opinion • which the work of women played a , noble part has urged their enactment, i and the votes of women have not been | necessary to further the release of the | child from the burden of Industrial life. , "The hideous white slave traffic and ; the dread social evil must be corrected , by education rather than by political - propaganda. Laws mnst follow as the , knowledge of the extent of the evil , awakens the public conscience nnd the moral sense of the people Is aroused. Woman will find her work as the educator who develops a trained and scientific opinion. n6t as the politician who mnst control votes. I "Women have a right to demand po- ■ responsibility If thereby the ex- | Is ting electorate would be Improved in average moral tone. Its intelligence. political discrimination.

Mnny women are more Intelligent. more moral than many men. the morality and Intelligence of and men of the same opportunities and environment strike about the average, ami It has yet to be shown that the doubling of the electorate. the wise, the foolish, the patriotic. the self seeking, would Improve the electorate. The enfranchised woman seems to give even less attention than man to political duties. If we are to election returns. If woman suffrage Is to Increase the danger which confronts us today In the Indifferent and stay at home voter the patriotic have the right to protest

Mass Meeting. Three o'clock found the spacious assembly room crowded by a mixed au- 1 dletK-e. who had gathered to participate In the first open meeting of the six ' months' campaign. The principal speakers were Miss Minnie Bronson. ; general secretary of the national as- ; soclatlon. and Mrs. I-'rank J. Goodwin. | of Westfield. Miss Bronson is without doijbt the i best Informed woman on the lecture platform upon the subject of woman j suffrage— a graduate of the Upper Iowij ■ University, receiving degree of master j of arts from the same Institution. 1892: . teacher of mathematics in St. Paul.

Miss Bronson said In part: "One of the most forcible arguments i advanced by the advocates of woman suffrage Is that It would lead to a treatment of women In Industry and to better laws for their protection. claim Is made thnt the lawa on statute books are unjust to the wage earning woman and that ber only redress from this discrimination Is In the. ballot - "8o often has this view been urged that It has come to be accepted by wage earning women, who have this reason become advocates of a otherwise distasteful to them. A atudy of the laws of the various states of the United States will show that these conclusions are as fallacious the premise Is untrue. Wage Earning Women. "Reference to the laws governing the labor of women shows that our lawmakers. far from enacting laws which

discriminate against the wage earnlnc are constantly enacting new and better laws for her protection: that these laws are constantly Improved not because women have tho or want it, but because women are entering more and more into th • industrial life of our country. And because of her great function to society, because of her physical disadvantage and above all because she Is not-her-self a lawmaker, public opinion demands that her rights and her interests shall be doubly conserved and safeguarded from any probable Injus tice by man and that she shall b.glven the opportunity to liecome whatever her abilities, natural or acquired, permit- And In obedience to this demand the laws enacted for the protection of wage earning women are mmbeneficent and farreachlng than t Inlaws for the protection of wage earning men. Night Labor Laws. "Sixteen states regulate the employment of women at night and specifically state -the hours between which n woman may not be employed. These states Include the male suffrage states of Nebraska. Indiana. Massachusetts, where night work for women of any age is forbidden: the states of Connecticut, South Carolina and New Hampshire. where night work in mercantile establishments is forbidden; the states 1 of Minnesota, New York and Ohio, forbidding night work for women under 1 twenty -one. and the state6 of Wisconsin and Delaware, regulating the con1 dltions and hours of night work. None ; of these states are equal suffrage "Suffragists claim that an eight hour day for women exists In woman suffrage states. There are four states where women vote that have eight hour laws. In two of these the law was ' passed before women had voted a#H cannot, therefore, be claimed as a victory of woman suffrage. They do not add that a law recognized by all social workers as a sine qua non of remedial legislation for working women — namely, the prohibition of night labor— is noi found on the statute books of any suffrage state. And It was not until 1913. twenty years after woman suffrage came Into Colorado. • • Suffrage States Lag Behind. •The history of labor legislation shows Invariably that suffrage states, 1 Instead of being In the vanguard of ' remedial legislation, have usually 1 lagged liehlnd and have only enacted 1 Inlior laws when the mnjority of male I suffrage states have i>olnted the way. "If so much has been accomplished without the votes of women nnd so lit- * tie has been done with tbi -te ll ' would seeui to lielioove the wage earning woman to inquire carefully Into the " specious promises of the advocates of '* equal suffrage. Neither the wage paid to woman nor remedial legislation In her behalf depends upon her political e status. "It Is hartjly conceivable that equni| II j suffrage would reverse the remedial e i legislation already enacted, hut the ' ' constantly reiterated demand thnt wo i man shall be allowed to stand on ex actly the same footing as men may e render ineffective much of the law " which now gives her an' advantage." Ij Mrs. Goodwin Speaks, j Mrs. Goodwin said that certain ele j ments were trying to Inject religion Into the suffrage agitation. She declar < ed that the Issue was not of n religious • nature, hut purely political— a question of whether the number in the elec t : torate should be doubled. Reviewing I briefly the recent meetings of toe ' | antls. she declared that the entire ' ! state was beginning to see the mls- , J representations of the pros. The suffragists, she declared, do not "treat us fairly and squarely." and ,, told of being heckled by planted ques- | tioners who were superficially in J i Quoting from an article written by 1 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the speaker I. | said that it showed that Df. Shaw i; j wanted suffrage, regardless of consei- 1 queuces. Mrs. Goodwin characterized n | the suffrage leaders' doctrine as false ■- I and destructive, and she could not see f | htr.v men could trust power "In bands ; so 1 responsible." .- "There Is no need for woman in poli- : tics." declared the speaker, "but there c] Ls infinite need for her at her own :- task." e Finally she pleaded with the women 0 "to go home and help" the antl cause 1 bi every way that they knew. t Mrs. Oliphant's Rtmarka.
