HISTORY

FOR THE VOTE

• Women are equal before God.
• Women already have the vote in local elections.
• Women pay taxes.
• Some women (eg doctors and mayors) are far better than some men (eg convicts and lunatics) who have the vote
• Other countries have given women the vote.

AGAINST THE VOTE

• A woman's place is in the home; going out into the rough world of politics will change her caring nature.
• Many women do not want the vote, and would not use it if they got it.
• Women do not fight in wars.
• The vast mass of women are too ignorant of politics to be able to use their vote properly.
• If women are given the vote, it will not be the gentle intelligent women who will stand for Parliament, but the violent Suffragettes. Parliament will be ruined.
