Juni, in welcher die Kandidaten für die Staats= und County= Aemter (Ämter), die im November zu wählen sind, nominirt (nominiert) werden, findet die Abstimmung über das Frauenstimmrecht statt. Wird diese an= genommen, so wird die Constitution des Staates einverleibt und die Frauen in Iowa besitzen das Stimmrecht. Wes= halb mit dieser so wichtigen Abstim= mung nicht bis zur Herbstwahl gewartet worden ist, läßt (lässt) sich leicht erraten. Nämlich bei dieser wird, da dann Prä= sidentenwahl ist, nahezu das volle Vo= tum des Staates abgegeben, bei einer Primärwahl aber stimmt nur ein Theil (Teil) der Wähler, sogar nur ein kleiner Theil (Teil), und da sicher alle Freunde des Frauen= Stimmrechts stimmen werden, so ist da= mit die Annahme weit leichter durchzu= setzen, wie wenn ein volles Votum abge= geben wird. Die Frauenrechtler in der Legislatur haben sehr schlau gerechnet, indem sie die Frage in einer Primär= wahl, statt in einer Haupt= und Gene= ralwahl, den Wählern unterbreiteten. Eine solche wichtige Frage hätte doch unbedingt dann zur Abstimmung kom= men sollen, wenn das größtmöglichste Votum zu erwarten war, wo jeder Bür= ger stimmen würde. Aber nein, das paßte (passte) dem allmächtigen Mucker= und Suffragettenthum, welche die letzte Le= gislatur ganz und gar beherrschte, nicht in den Kram und so wurde die Angele= genheit zu einer Zeit zur Abstimmung angeordnet, wo man sicher ist, nur ein kleines Votum, keinesfalls ein volles Votum und damit die wirkliche Mei= nungsäußerung der ganzen Bürger= schaft des Staates zu erhalten. Von dem Ausgang der Frauenstimm= rechts=Wahl hängt wahrscheinlich auch die nächstjährige Prohibitionswahl ab, die entscheiden soll, ob der jetzt schon bestehende Prohibitionsblödsinn kon= stitutionell werden soll, was bedeutet, daß (dass) wir die Trockenheit überhaupt nicht mehr los werden oder nicht. Wenig= stens ist immerhin eine Möglichkeit eines freisinnigen Sieges ohne Frauenstimm= recht vorhanden — mit Frauenstimm= recht aber absolut nicht. Deshalb wäre es sehr zu wünschen, das (dass) sich unsere Li= beralen und Gegner der politischen Gleichberechnung (Gleichberechtigung) der Geschlechter etwas mehr rühren, wie sie bis jetzt gethan (getan) haben, wenn ihnen überhaupt etwas an der Ablehnung dieser Frage liegt. Um= somehr (umso mehr), da alle günstigen Aussichten bis jetzt auf Seite der Frauenrechtler liegen. Die meisten der Governors=Kandidaten, auch der sogenannte demokratische, der Herr Meredith, haben sich offen für das Frauenstimmrecht erklärt. Desgleichen die meisten Aspiranten für andere Staatsämter. Die Anhänger des Weib= lichen Unterrocks betreiben außerdem eine viel regere Campagne (Kampagne), offen und mehr noch im stillen (Stillen), als die andere Seite, die sich außer einigen vernünftigen Frauen, die selbst gegen ihre Hinein= zerrung in unsere Politik sind, noch nicht rühren. Bis zum 5 Juni sind nur noch einige Wochen hin und soll noch eine starke öffentliche Bewegung gegen das beab= sichtigte Weiber=Regiment eingeleitet werden, so ist’s hohe Zeit. Es muß (muss), wenn überhaupt Hoffnung vorhanden ist, die Frauenrechtler zu schlagen, da= rauf hingearbeitet werden, daß (dass) ein mög= lichst starkes Votum in der Wahl abge= geben wird, denn nur darin liegt augen= scheinlich einige Aussicht, den Ansturm abzuschlagen. Die Gleichgültigkeit der Massen, die diese Primärwahlen gegen= über haben muß (muss) abgeschüttelt werden, so daß (dass) so viele Bürger wie nur möglich, nicht nur die Befürworter des Frauen= stimmrechts, sich zum Wahlplatz begeben.

Should the measure be approved, the state constitution will be amended to grant suffrage to all women in Iowa. We can easily surmise why such an important referendum was not postponed until the November election. In November, when the presidential election takes place, nearly the entire state will turn out to vote. During a primary, however, only a fraction of voters, even a small fraction, will turn out at the polls, and since all friends of women's suffrage will vote, the amendment will pass much more easily than with a high voter turnout. The suffragists in the state legislature have slyly brought this referendum before voters during a primary election rather than a general election. Such an important matter should have been placed on the ballot when nearly every eligible voter would go to the polls. But no, that didn't suit the all-powerful yes-men and suffragettes who completely dominated the last state legislature, and so the matter was scheduled to come to a vote at a time when there is certain to be a low voter turnout, anything but a full turnout that might be a representative measure of opinion among all citizens. Next year's Prohibition referendum will likely depend on the result of the women's suffrage vote. This second referendum will decide whether the current Prohibition nonsense shall become constitutional, i.e., whether we'll be rid of temperance or not. Without women's suffrage, there is at least the possibility of a victory for personal liberty; with women's suffrage, absolutely not. For this reason, it would be quite useful if the liberals and opponents of the political equality of the sexes would rouse themselves more often than they have up to this point, if the failure of this referendum is of any concern to them at all. They have all the more reason to do so, since the suffrage camp has the more favorable prospects at the moment. The majority of candidates for governor, even the so-called Democrat, Mr. Meredith, have declared their support for women's suffrage, and the majority of aspirants for state offices have done the same. The petticoat supporters, moreover, are conducting a much more vigorous campaign, both in the open and quietly, than the opposing side, which has hardly lifted a finger, with the exception of a few sensible women who are opposed to being dragged into politics. There are only a few weeks left until June 5th. If public momentum against the proposed women's regime is to develop, then it's time to act. If there is to be any hope of victory over the suffragists, then we must work towards generating the largest turnout possible, for therein lies apparently the only chance of heading off the coming storm. The apathy of the masses towards primaries must be overcome, so that as many citizens as possible, not only the proponents of women's suffrage, make their way to the ballot box. (Iowa Reform.)

They do not want the men of Iowa to impose the right to vote on them. They do not desire the strife, the bitterness, and the notoriety that are inextricably linked to a political campaign. They trust in the loyalty of their husbands, fathers, and sons and do not suffer under their dominion. To be free from the cares of government and the discord of politics is one of the greatest rights of women. They currently have that right. Why take it away from them? Do not force something upon them that can lead to no good, but instead create much discord, not only for women themselves, but also for the state and all residing therein. Do not ask women to leave the sphere assigned to them by nature--a role that a man could never adequately satisfy--in order that they enter the domain of men, a domain they are not physically created for. Do not force mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters into politics. Do not force the burdens of men onto women's shoulders. Men of Iowa, we appeal to you not to abandon the women of Iowa in this crisis, and that on the 5th of June you will go to the polls and vote No on women's suffrage.

The recent verdict of the Reichsgericht (Imperial Court of Justice), which approved the assumption of authority over the Prussian state government by a Reichskommissar (imperial commissioner), is regarded as one more step toward uniting the entire Reich under a dictatorship. At the least, the judgment has considerably increased the power of the President and the Chancellor. Hindenburgs position is particularly enhanced; regional state governments may no longer oppose him in the future when he chooses to exercise his executive power. The court denied Prussia's petition that a cease-and-desist order be issued against the Reichskommissar designated by the government of Chancellor von Papen to assume control of the Prussian state administration. The decision of the imperial court means that the Chancellor can exercise his power in Prussia. It further implies that the President has the sovereign authority to interpret and apply Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, upon which emergency decrees are based. The ousted Prussian cabinet members will be permitted only to hold seats in the Prussian state parliament and to appoint Prussian representatives to the imperial senate. The Chancellor appointed Dr. Hans Bracht as the new head of the Prussian government.
