The question of woman suffrage Is ow before the electorate.

The stature of New Jersey has Hxed 19 as the day which every i of voting age will be given an op- tunlty to meet Ihe Issue at the bul- box. and to then decide whether not the cares of national, state, unly and municipal, borough or lownsblp government shall be added to cares of womanhood. The two contending hosts have nl- ady set up their camps. The war- mre which for the past few months Ibas been waged In a desultory anil in- ltennittent manner on the part of the land suffragists has now been set In lines, and a plan of offensive "campaign has been outlined and Mobilization at Trenton, Antl suffragists mobilized on Monday the city of Trenton nnd set in mo Itlon their drive to crush forever "votes I for women" In this state.

Annual Meeting.

The day's proceedings were opened with the annual meeting at 10:30, when reports were heard from the presidents of the twenty-one county organizations.

The spontaneous expressions were Interpreted by the speakers and workers as pledges of unfailing support and the prosecution of a campaign thai would bring home a victory of wblih Ihe "antU" could be proud.

The fundamental banls of a standard law for woman In Industry Is acknowledged to be the prohibition of night work because of the damaged health of the working woman who Is engaged In Industrial pursuits by night and undertakes woman's work In the homo by day.

Nebraska, Massachusetts and Indiana blazed the path for this legislation. Within the last year the great Industrial states of New York and Pennsylvania have followed. In none of these slates do women vote, but In all of these states public opinion has demanded that woman should not he handicapped In the offering of her highest etllclency. The state cannot permit the creation of the efficient worker at the cost of the efficient woman. Equal suffrage would demand that woman should en ter Into competition with man In a fair Held with favor to none, but woman's welfare demands protection under the laws.

Men Make Best LIWI. "The best child labor laws are found male suffrage states. Industrial and economic conditions have revealed the necessity of these laws. Public opinion which the work of women played a noble part has urged their enactment, and the votes of women have uot been necessary to further the release of the hlld from the burden of Industrial life. "The hideous white slave traffic nnd the dread social evil must be corrected by education rather than by political propaganda.

Laws must follow as the knowledge of the extent of the evil awakens the public conscience and the moral sense of Uie people Is aroused.

If woman suffrage Is to increase the danger which confronts us today In the Indifferent and stay at home voter the patriotic women have the right to protest with the most: disastrous not only to the bat to the race. Against Eoonomio Law. "It Is against economic law because It proposes to set two persons to do the work of one. With men alone voting we were tolerably governed. With women alone voting we should proba lily, after a period sufficiently long for the accumulation of practical experi ence, be tolerably governed.

The right to vote carries with It a moral responsibility of exercising the franchise; therefore the majority of women who do not believe In woman suffrage have Ihe right to protest against this obligation. "The life of the average woman Is not so ordered as to give her first haul knowledge of those things which are the essentials of sound government.

Clean streets anil pure milk are sure to come as tbeYnowledge of sanitary living Increases.

Miss Chlttenden, who la an eloquent speaker, among other things declared that the untl-Buffrage movement was not a mere political movement, but movement in the Interest of constructive government.

Miss Ctilt- tenden also said: "Those who oppose votes for women speak for what they believe and are Mure to grt-al majority of voting age In the country. They oppose It as a movement, hi the last analysis, for the deposition of woman from Ihe high place she now occupies and the high services thai she now renders In mod ern society.

Miss Bronson said In part: "One of the most forcible arguments advanced by the advocates of wonini suffrage Is that It would lead to a fairer treatment of women In Industry and to better laws for their protection The claim is made that the laws on our statute books arc unjust to tin wage earning woman and that her only redress from this discrimination Is ii the ballot. So often has this view been urged that It has come to lie accepted by many wage earning women, who have for this reason liecome advocates of cause otherwise distasteful to them A study of the laws of the various Btates of the United States will show that these conclusions are as fallaclou. as the premise Is untrue. Wage Earning Women.

"Reference to the laws governing the labor of women shows that our law makers, far from enacting laws which discriminate against the wage earning woman, are constantly enacting new and better laws for her protection that these laws are constantly lm proved not because women have tlv ballot or want It, but because women are entering more and more Into thi Industrial life of our country. And be cause of her groat function to society because of her physical dlsadvantagi and above all because she Is not her self a lawmaker, public opinion demands that her rights and her Inter ests shall be doubly conserved and safeguarded from any probable lnjus tlce by man and that she shall given the opportunity to become what ever her abilities, natural or acquired permit. And In obedience to this dc mand the laws enacted for the protec Hop of wage earning women are more beneficent and farreachiug than the laws for the protection of wage earn Ing men. Night Labor Lawe. "Sixteen Btates regulate the employment of women at night and specifically state the hours between which a woman may not be employed.

These states Include the male suffrage states of Nebraska, Indiana, Massachusetts where night work for women of any age forbidden; the Btates of Connect! cut. South Carolina and New Hump shire, where night work In mercantile establishments is forbidden; the states of Minnesota, New York and Ohio, forbidding night work for women under twenty-one, and the states of Wisconsin and Delaware, regulating the con dltions and hours of night work. Norn Of these states are equal suffrage states. "Suffragists claim that an eight horn day for women exists In woman suffrage states. There arc four states where women vote that have eight hour laws.

In two of these the law wa passed before women had voted am: cannot, therefore, be claimed as a Vic tory of woman suffrage. They do noi add that a law recognized by all socla workers as a sloe qua non of remedla legislation for working ly, the prohibition of night no found on the statute books of any suf frage state. And It was not until twenty years after woman suffrage came Into Colorado. Suffrage SUtee Lag Behind. "The history of labor legislation shows Invariably that suffrage Btates, Instead of being in the vanguard of remedial legislation, have usually lagged behind and have only enacted labor laws when the majority of male suffrage states have pointed the way.

"If BO much hns been accomplished without the votes of women and so little has been done with this vote It would seem to behoove the wage earn- ng woman to Inquire carefully Into the specious promises of the advocates of equal suffrage. Neither the wage paid woman nor remedial legislation In her behalf depends upon her political status. "It is hardly conceivable that equal suffrage would reverse the remedial legislation already enacted, but the constantly reiterated demand that woman shall be allowed to stand on exactly the same footing as men may render Ineffective much of the law which now givesTner an Goodwin Speaks. Mrs. Goodwin said that certain ele ments were trying to Inject religion Into the suffrage agitation.

She declared that the Issue was not of a religious nature, but purely question of whether the number In the elec- orate Bhould be doubled. Reviewing irlefly the recent meetings of the antls, she declared that the entire state was beginning to the. mis Ions of the pros. The-suffragists, she declared, do not 'treat us fairly and squarely," and told of being heckled by planted ques- loners who were superficially Informed. Quoting from an article written by Dr.

Anna Howard Shaw, the speaker said that It showed that Dr. 8bnw wanted suffrage, regardless of Mrs, Goodwin characterized the suffrage leaders' doctrine as false nd destructive, and she could not, see men could trust power "In hands so irresponsible." 'There Is no need for woman In poll- Ics," declared the speaker, "but there Infinite need for her at her own ask." Finally she pleaded with the women "to go home and help" tfie antl canse every way that they knew. Mrs. Oliphant's Remarks. Mrs.

O. D.
