- "The protector of women is abroad in the land. he wants her to be a perfect lady. Is it 'ladylike' to scrub, wash, cook, work in a store or factory? Men are willing women should do all these things but to vote--that would be 'unladylike.'
"Did you ever hear it was 'ungentlemanly' to vote? If a man can be a gentleman and vote, why can a woman be a lady and vote?
"Perhaps the remark was intended to apply to society ladies. In that case it would only have force if what society ladies do is so very nice that voting would degrade them.

- "What influence? the influence of persuasion and agitation? If we expect women to influence--that is, to entreat, to argue, to appeal, to agitate, to petition--why would they have less influence if they back up their appeals by a vote? That would give them more influence. Why ask a woman to know enough about politics to use her influence intelligently, and then deny her the right to express her opinion at the polls?
Vote for Woman Suffrage next November."
