Ti-1E1911ALMANAc T13 9 If ,f jf ,GSL wif ' 1 1 QL: N - L 'Uutzs for women By EDWIN J. TIPP1-:1:'r LTHOUGH everyone accepted the question of woman sufifrage as settled after the debate between our two girls' literary societies in 1911, it so happened that our recreant legislators failed to act upon the proven resolution. That women should be granted equal suffrage with men. The reason for their brazen defiance of the decision is not evident: it only appears that they refused to act. In the city of' Toledo feminine sentiment grew stronger and stronger for equal suffrage with men. Fathers. brothers. lovers and husbands were urged. threatened or coaxed. as the case might be. to vote for equality at the ballot-box. 1Yhen they could no longer endure being pestered, the city council appointed a committee to consider the matter. By chance, the chairman of this committee was also the owner of' the baseball team. 1Vhen he was called upon for his report, the chairman presented the following plan for settling the irksome question: Nine of' the finest young women in the city. physically and mentally, were to be chosen. Nine similar young men were also to be picked. Then they should clash in a baseball game at Swayne Field, If the boys won. the women must accept their inferiority and do without the ballot. Un the other hand, if the girls were victorious, every 111ale voter would be constrained by his sense of honor to vote in favor ofa constitutional amendment for equal suffrage. s T4
