state constitution by striking out tho
word "male" from the clause defining
the qualifications of voters.
Mrs. Cockran. who Is a woman of
much ability and many personal
charms, recently dellncd her views on
the suffrnge as follows:
"I am a believer In equal suffrage for
men and women. The fact that both
my parents wore strongly In favor of
the universal franchise may have had
some lulluence In forming my own
conclusion In this respect, but It Is also
true that I have never heard any ar
guments against it which sounded at
all convincing. All my more mature
observations have served to confirm
my earlier Impressions. A woman Is a
cltl7.cn. This every one concedes, and
It seems to mo it should bo conclusive
of the question. As a citizen she musf
bear her full share In defraying the
expenses of government, nnd therefore
she should 'have some voice in the se
lection of officers who will expend th
proceeds of" taxes io which sho con
tributes nnd of representatives who
