<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rundschau über Iowa</strong></p>
<p>Im Clinton Stadtrath versuchten die Temperenzler den Verkauf von Bier und Wein einzustellen, wurden aber, wie die „Volkszeitung” mittheilt, ganz gehörig geboten. Die freisinnigen Leute werden sich aber auch wohl der Mucker erinnern, die für das Verbot stimmten.</p>
<p>Der Salonbesitzer, Herr J. Taake, in Clayton City, wurde, wie der „Nord Iowa Herold” berichtet, das Opfer eines frechen Raubanfalles. Der „Herold” erzählt:</p>
<p>„Die Einzelheiten sind, nach den uns gemachten Mittheilungen, etwa folgende: Nachdem sich bereits alle anderen Gäste aus dem Saloon entfernt, blieben noch zwei Fremde zurück, die im Laufe des Gesprächs aus dem arglosen Taake herauslockten, daß er seinen Revolver im oberen Stockwerk habe. Kaum hatten die Strolche dies ausgekundschaftet, so befand sich auch Taake den Mündungen ihrer Revolver gegenüber und wurde nun zur Herausgabe seiner ganzen, in etwa $15 bestehenden Tageseinnahme gezwungen. Nach Vollführung der That theilten die Strolche dem Beraubten mit, sie seien aus Missouri und wären des Geldes dringend bedürftig. Wenn sie wieder in bessere Verhältnisse kämen, würden sie es ihm zurückerstatten.</p>
<p>Einbrüche und Raubanfälle kommen seit letzterer Zeit auffallend häufig vor. Unsere sämmtlichen Wechselblätter sind voll von solchen Berichten, und scheint auch unser Staat nicht verschont zu sein. In McGregor, Waterloo und überhaupt in all’ den größeren Städten Iowa’s sind kürzlich Einbrüche verübt worden.</p>
<p>Das Bezirks-Turnfest des nordwestlichen Turnvereins findet am 6., 7. und 8. Juni zu Lansing statt. Aus eigener Erfahrung wissen wir, daß es kein gastfreundschaftlicheres Volk im ganzen Staate gibt, als gerade in Lansing, und können wir daher unseren nördlichen Freunden herzlich gratulieren.</p>
<p>Ein Saloonwirth in Dubuque, erzählt der „National Demokrat,” hat in großen goldenen Buchstaben das Wort „Office” auf seine Fenstervorhänge malen lassen. Ob das die Betweiber abschrecken wird, ist zu bezweifeln – ist aber doch originell.</p>
<p>In der Nacht vom 1. Mai wurde zu Newton, Jasper County, in fünf Stores eingebrochen und Waaren im Werth von mehreren hundert Dollars entwendet. Die betroffenen Kaufleute sind die Hrn. Wright und Son, Vaughan und Son, Gardner und Co., J. H. Chapman, und Dubus und Bodly. In J. Meyer’s Groc[e]rygeschäft wurde auch eingebrochen, wurde aber nichts gestohlen. Bis jetzt ist noch keine Spur von den Dieben aufgefunden worden.</p>
<p>Charles City hat die Saloon-Licensen von $300 auf $500 erhöht. Osage auf $600. Das ist starker Taback, aber doch nicht so schlimm als gänzliches Verbot.</p>
<p>Das Skelett eines Menschen wurde kürzlich in einem Steinbruch in Marion Township, Marshall County, gefunden. Dem Aussehen des Skeletts und der Umgebung desselben nach, muß es über hundert Jahre in der Höhlung des Steines gelegen haben.</p>
<p>Wegen Verletzung der Revenue-Gesetze wurde Herr Adam Glab, der Brauer von der Plankroad, in dieser Woche vor die Schranken der Ver. St. District Court citirt, und diese Verletzung bestand darin, daß er sich weigerte, die Brauer-Licenz von $100 zweimal im Jahre zu bezahlen, wie dies der Collector verlangte. Am 20. Juni 1873 hatte er dieselbe für die Firma Glab und Sueß bezahlt, und als Herr Sueß einen Monat später aus dem Geschäft trat, und Glab dasselbe allein fortsetzte, muthete man ihm zu, nochmals zu bezahlen. Richter Love instruirte die Jury, daß die an Glab und Sueß ertheilte Licenz eine solche für beide sei, und Herr Glab wurde freigesprochen. Wer ersetzt ihm aber seine Unkosten? (Dub. Nat. Dem.)<br /><br />Gebührender Empfang: Am Freitag besuchten die Betweiber in Manchester abermals die Wirthschaften, hatten jedoch kaum ihre Ceremonien begonnen als sich ein Bombardement mit faulen Eiern über sie entlud und die Rutschweiber sich in einer Kleiderfärberei versetzt glaubten. Ein Straßenkrawall und Handgemenge entstanden, wobei es blutige Gesichter gegeben haben soll. -- Alles durch Schuld der Betweiber. Die friedlichen Bürger hatten die Ruhe bald wieder hergestellt. Obiges Mittel wird als höchst probat zur Vertreibung jenes Insekts bezeichnet. (Waterloo Deutsch Amerikaner).<br /><br />[transcribed by Brandon Pahl]</p>

<div style="text-align:center;"><strong>Aus dem Staate.<br />Frauenstimmrecht geschlagen.</strong></div>
<p>Des Moines, 6. Juni. Das Schicksal des Frauenstimmrecht-Amendments ist noch zweifelhaft. 1200 Precinte von 2297 geben 83,390 für und 83,461 gegen das Amendment. Wahrscheinlich wird die offzielle Zählung abzuwarten sein.</p>
<p>Im Frauen Hauptquartier werden Mehrheiten in folgenden Counties beansprucht: Henry, Mahaska, Mitchell, Marshall, Polk, Cerro Gordo, Jefferson, Hamilton, Hardin, Floyd, Decatur, Wayne, Lucas, Ringgold, Crawford, Story, Dickinson, Ida, Marshall, Webster, Emmet Page, Fremont, Greene, und Grundy.</p>
<p>Niederlagen werden zugestanden in Linn, Scott, Des Moines, Dubuque, Wapello, Clinton, Claron, Tama, Woodbury und Pocahontes.</p>
<p>Der Rest der 99 Counties steht noch in Zweifel.</p>
<p>Später: Um 10 Uhr Nachts lagen offizielle und nichtoffizielle Berichte über die Fraunstimmrechtswahl aus 93 der 99 Counties vor, wonach das Amendment mit fast 6,000 Stimmen Mehrheit geschlagen ist.</p>
<p>Diese 93 Counties haben 137,760 Stimmen für und 143,669 gegen das Amendment abgegeben. Die rückstandigen 6 Counties werden das Resultat nicht wesentlich ändern.</p>
<p><strong>Weitere Wahlberichte</strong></p>
<p>Des Moines, 6.Juni. Die Niederlage des Verfassungsamendments für Frauenstimmrecht ist durch nahezu vollständige Berichte von allen Counties, mit Ausnahme von 5, festgestellt. Die genauen Zahlen sind 144,966 gegen und 139,253 für das Amendment.</p>
<p>Ueber 300,000 Stimmen wurden abgegeben und es war das stärkste Votum, das seit vielen Jahren in einer Primärwahl abgegeben wurde.</p>
<p>Der republikanische Gouverneurskandidat W.L. Harding hat zwischen 40 und 50 Prozent des rep. Votums erhalten, was ihm die Nomination sichert, ohne dass der Kampf in die Staatskonvention getragen wird.</p>
<p>Cosson war der zweite im Rennen und ist dem Senator Allen um etwa 10,000 Stimmen voraus, während Kuehnle als schlechter Vierter dem Sieger um 80,000 und Allen um 40,000 Stimmen nachsteht.</p>
<p>Andere Staatsbeamte scheinen wie folgt nominiert zu sein: Vicegouverneur G.R. Moore, Staatssekretär W.S. Allen, Schatzmeister W.C. Brown. Die anderen Kandidaten stehen noch im Zweifel.<br /><br />[transcribed by Leanne Lenhart]</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>From the State.<br />Women’s Suffrage Defeated.</strong></p>
<p>Des Moines, June 6<sup>th</sup>. The fate of the women’s suffrage amendment is still in doubt. In 1200 precincts out of 2297, 83,390 people voted for and 83,461 voted against the amendment. The official count will most likely still have to be awaited. In the women’s headquarters, majorities are claimed in the following counties: Henry, Mahaska, Mitchell, Marshall, Polk, Cerro Gordo, Jefferson, Hamilton, Hardin, Floyd, Decatur, Wayne, Lucas, Ringgold, Crawford, Story, Dickinson, Ida, Marshall, Webster, Emmet, Page, Fremont, Greene, and Grundy.</p>
<p>Defeats have been conceded in Linn, Scott, Des Moines, Dubuque, Wapello, Clinton, Claron, Tama, Woodbury, and Pocahontas.</p>
<p>[The results in] The rest of the 99 counties are still uncertain.</p>
<p>Later: Around 10 at night, official and non-official reports on the women’s suffrage vote were available from 93 out of the 99 counties, according to which the amendment was defeated by almost 6,000 votes. These 93 counties cast 137,760 votes for and 143,669 against the amendment. The remaining 6 counties will not change the result significantly.</p>
<p><strong>Further Election Reports</strong></p>
<p>Des Moines, June 6<sup>th</sup>. The defeat of the constitutional amendment for women’s suffrage has been confirmed by nearly complete reports from all counties, with the exception of 5. The exact numbers are 144,966 against and 139,253 for the amendment.</p>
<p>Over 300,000 votes were cast and it was the strongest vote given in a primary election in many years.</p>
<p>The Republican candidate for governor W.L. Harding received between 40 to 50 percent of the Republican vote, which secures him the nomination without the contest being carried into the state convention. Cosson was second in the running and is ahead of Senator Allen by around 10,000 votes, while Kuehnle, in fourth place, is 80,000 votes behind the winner and 40,000 votes behind Allen.</p>
Other state officials appear to be nominated as follows: Vice Governor G. R. Moore, Secretary of State W.G.Allen, Treasurer W.C. Brown. The other candidates are still in doubt.<br /><br />[translated by Leanne Lenhart]

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Stimmt morgen gegen das Frauenstimmrechts-Amendment</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align:center;">* * * * * * * * * *</div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Macht ein Kreuz in das Viereck vor dem Worte “no”.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">* * * * * * * * * *<br /><br />Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Frauen Iowa’s will vom Stimmrecht nichts wissen. Schützt mit Eurem “no” die Mehrheit der Frauen vor einer Vergewaltigung durch eine kleine Minderheit.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">* * * * * * * * * *<br /><br />Erfüllt morgen Eure Bürgerpflicht und stimmt, stimmt, stimmt!<br /><br />* * * * * * * * * *</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Mit Absicht haben wir in unserer Kampagne gegen das Amendment zur Verfassung des Staates Iowa, durch welches den Frauen dasselbe Stimmrecht wie die Männern verliehen werden soll, den Frauen, welche Gegnerinnen desselben sind, das Wort überlassen. Gegen das Frauenstimmrecht ist, das kann nicht dem geringsten Zweifel unterliegen, die ganz überwiegende Mehrheit der Frauen unseres Staates, zum mindesten eine Zwei-Drittel Mehrheit, wenn nicht noch eine größere. Und diese Mehrheit der Frauen besteht aus den Frauen, die den heiligen Beruf der Frau als Gattin, Mutter und Herrscherin im Heim richtig auffassen und sich der hohen Pflichten u. Aufgaben, die ihnen dadurch gestellt sind, vollkommen bewußt sind.</p>
<p>In ihrer Hand ist die Zukunft des Staates, der Gesellschaft, der Menschheit gelegt. Sie sind nicht nur die Mütter, sie sind die Erzieherinnen des nachfolgenden Geschlechts. Von der Art und Weise, wie sie dieses schweren Amtes walten, wie sie dieser hohen, heiligen Aufgabe gerecht werden, ist die Weiterentwicklung des Staates, der Gesellschaft, der Menschheit abhängig. Sehr richtig sagt Frau L.V. Haley, die Präsidentin der “Alabama Federation of Woman Clubs”, dass dieser hohen, heiligen Aufgabe der Frau, all ihre anderen öffentlichen Thätigkeiten, so lobenswerth auch alle Bestrebungen, denen sie gewidmet sind, sein mögen, untergeordnet sein müssen, dass sie die Erfüllung dieser hohen Aufgabe niemals beeinträchtigen dürfen.</p>
<p>Das entspricht der deutschen Auffassung des Berufes, der Aufgabe und der Würde der Frau. Von der Urzeit her hat das deutsche Volk der Frau eine hohe Verehrung entgegengebracht und bringt sie ihr bis auf den heutigen Tag entgegen. Es weiß sehr wohl, daß es seine Wiedergeburt nach dem es fast vernichtenden 30jährigen Kriege, seine materielle und geistige Entwicklung während des verflossenen Vierteljahrtausends der treuen Pflichterfüllung der Frau als Gattin, Mutter und sorgsamer Verwalterin und Verschönerin des Heims zum weitaus größten Theile zu verdanken hat. Die hohe Vereh[r]ung, diese tiefe Achtung und Wertschätzung der Frau beruht auf ihren hervorragenden Leistungen als Gattin, Mutter, Verwalterin des Heimes und Erzieherin der Familie. Im äußerlichen Ausdruck dieser Verehrung der Frau mag der Angelsachse und der Franzose dem Deutschen überlegen sein, dafür ist seine Verehrung innerlich eine desto innigere und aufrichtigere.</p>
<p>Das zeigt Schillers wundervolles Gedicht:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>“Die Würde der Frauen”.</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left:20px;">“Ehret die Frauen! Sie flechten und weben<br />Himmlische Rosen in’s irdische Leben,<br />Flechten der Liebe beglückendes Band,<br />Und in der Grazie züchtigem Schleier<br />Nähren sie wachsam das ewige Feuer<br />Schöner Gefühle mit heiliger Hand.<br /><br />In der Männer Herrschgebiete<br />Gilt der Stärke trotzig Recht.<br />Mit dem Schwert beweist der Scythe,<br />Und der Perser wird zum Knecht.<br />Es befehden sich im Grimme<br />Die Begierden wild und roh,<br />Und der Eris rauhe Stimme<br />Schallet, wo die Charis floh.”<br /><br />Aber mit sanft überedender Bitte<br />Führen die Frauen das Szepter der Sitte,<br />Löschen die Zwietracht, die tobend erglüht,<br />Lehren die Kräfte, die feindlich sich hassen,<br />Sich in der lieblichen Form zu umfassen<br />Und vereinen, was ewig sich flieht.”<br /><br />Seiner Menschlichkeit vergessen,<br />Wagt des Mannes eitler Wahn<br />Mit Dämonen sich zu messen,<br />Denen nie Begierden nah’n.<br />Stolz verschmäht er das Geleite<br />Leise warnender Natur,<br />Schwingt sich in des Himmels Weite<br />Und verliert der Erde Spur.<br /><br />Aber auf treuem Pfad der Gefühle<br />Wandelt die Frau zu dem göttlichen Ziele,<br />Das sie still, doch gewisser erringt.<br />Strebt auf der Schönheit geflügeltem Wagen<br />Zu den Sternen, die Menschheit zu tragen,<br />Die der Mann nur ertödtend erzwingt.”</p>
<p>Und wie schildert derselbe große deutsche Dichter das Herrschgebiet der Frau in seinem “Lied von der Glocke”:</p>
<p style="padding-left:20px;">“Der Mann muß hinaus<br />In’s feindliche Leben,<br />Muß wirken und streben<br />Und pflanzen und schaffen,<br />Erlisten, erraffen,<br />Muß wetten und wagen<br />Das Glück zu erjagen.<br />Da strömet herbei die unendliche Gabe.<br />Es füllt sich der Speicher mit köstlicher Habe,<br />Die Räume wachsen, es dehnt sich das Haus.<br />Und drinnen waltet<br />Die züchtige Hausfrau,<br />Die Mutter der Kinder,<br />Und herrschet weise<br />Im häuslichen Kreise.<br />Und lehret die Mädchen,<br />Und wehret den Knaben,<br />Und reget ohn’ Ende<br />Die fleißigen Hände,<br />Und mehrt den Gewinn<br />Mit ordnendem Sinn,<br />Und füllet mit Schätzen die duftenden Laden,<br />Und dreht um die schnurrende Spindel den Faden<br />Und sammelt im reinlich geglätteten Schrein<br />Die schimmernde Wolle, den schneeigen Lein,<br />Und füget zum Guten den Glanz und den Schimmer und ruhet nimmer.”</p>
<p>Das Ideal des großen deutschen Dichters ist zum Ideal des deutschen Volkes geworden. Und das hat, unserer bescheidenen Ansicht nach, viel, unendlich viel zum Aufstieg des deutschen Volkes beigetragen, das sich nicht mit Stolz rühmt wie der Franzose: “Nous marchons a la tete de la civilisation,” dem aber von unparteiischen Beobachtern anderer Völker völlig der erste Platz unter den Kultur Völkern eingeräumt wird.</p>
<p>Es hat die Familie hochgehalten und die Familie ist der Grund und Eckstein aller menschlichen Entwicklung, aller Civilisation und Kultur. Wer an der Familie rüttelt, der gleicht der Person, die das Fundament eines Gebäudes zu zerstören sucht. Die Zerstörung des Fundamentes muß nothwendiger Weise den Zusammensturz des Gebäudes zur Folge haben.</p>
<p>Die Befürworterinnen des Frauenstimmrechts rütteln an den Grundvesten der Familie, deshalb sind wir seit Jahrzehnten ihr unerbittlicher Gegner. Wer sind die Hauptbefürworterinnen des Hinabzerrens der Frau von ihren Herrschersitz im “häuslichen Kreise in den Staub der Straße, in den Schmuß der Politik? Die Frauen, welche die Natur der Ungerechtigkeit anklagen, weil sie das weibliche Geschlecht mit der Bürde der Fortpflanzung der Menschheit belastet hat, welche die ihm dadurch auferlegten hochheiligen Aufgaben und Pflichten nicht zu erfüllen willens sind, welche die Ehe und die Mutterschaft als entwürdigend betrachten und wenn sie sich, der Versorgung halber, zu ersterer herbeilassen, sich der letzteren zu entziehen suchen und zu entziehen wissen. Das unregelmäßige griechische Zeitwort, über dessen wahre Bedeutung sich die Schüler der Quarta eines Gymnasiums den Kopf zerbrechen, ist leider in der modernen Welt zu übermäßigem, verderblichem Einfluss gelangt.</p>
<p>Zur Erhöhung ihres Einflusses bedarf die Frau des Stimmrechts nicht. Im Gegenteil, wie die Gegnerinnen des Frauenstimmrechts sehr richtig nachweisen, kann dieser durch das Stimmrecht nur vermindert werden. Warum also diese Vergewaltigung der Mehrheit, der überwiegenden Mehrheit der Frauen, durch eine unbedeutende, wenn auch sehr laute Minderheit?</p>
<p>Es wird gerade hierzulande immer und immer wieder betont, dass die Mehrheit herrschen soll.</p>
<p>Wir hoffen und erwarten, dass die Männer Iowas, wenigstens die von Davenport und Scott County, morgen, in der Sonderwahl, in der Abstimmung über das Frauenstimmrechts-Amendment zur Staatsverfassung, für die Mehrheit der Frauen, die vom Stimmrecht nichts wissen wollen, eintreten, und mit einem Kreuz in das Viereck vor dem Worte “No” die Verwerfung des Amendments anstreben und durchsetzen werden.<br /><br />[transcribed by Leanne Lenhart]</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">The overwhelming majority of the women of Iowa do not want to know about suffrage. With your “no”, defend the majority of women against rape by a small minority.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>* * * * * * * *</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Do your civic duty tomorrow and vote, vote, vote!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>* * * * * * * *</strong></p>
<p>In our campaign against the amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa, which is intended to give women the same right to vote as men, we have intentionally given the floor to the women who oppose the amendment. The vast majority of the women of our state are against women’s suffrage, at least a two-third's majority, if not even greater, of this there can be no doubt. And this women’s majority consists of women who correctly understand woman's sacred vocation as wife, mother, and ruler of the household, and who are fully aware of the noble obligations and tasks that fall to them because of this.<br /><br />They have the future of the state, society, and humanity in their hands. They are not merely the mothers, they are the educators of the following generation. The development of the state, society, and humanity depends on the manner in which they carry out this difficult office, how they live up to this high and sacred task. Mrs. L.B.Halen, president of the “Alabama Federation of Woman Clubs,” quite rightly stated that her other public activities, however commendable, must be subordinated to this high, sacred task of the woman, so that they never interfere with the fulfillment of this noble task.<br /><br />This corresponds to the German view of the vocation, duty, and dignity of women. Since time immemorial, the German people have shown a great devotion to women and continue to do so to this day. Germans are well aware that they owe their rebirth, after the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, its material and spiritual development during the past 250 years to the woman’s faithful fulfillment of duty as wife, mother and careful caretaker and beautician of the home to by far the largest part. The high devotion, this deep respect and esteem of the woman is based on her outstanding achievements as wife, mother and caretaker of the home and educator of the family. In outward expression of this reverence for women, the Anglo-Saxon and the Frenchman may be superior to the German, but inwardly his reverence is all the more intimate and sincere.</p>
<p>Schiller’s wonderful poem shows this:</p>
<p style="padding-left:20px;">“The Dignity of Women”.<br /><br />“Honor the women! They braid and weave<br />Heavenly roses for this earthly life,<br />Braiding love’s joyous ribbon.<br />And in the chaste veil of Grace<br />They stoke vigilantly, with a holy hand,<br />The eternal fire of beauteous feelings.<br /><br />In the realm ruled by men<br />The strength is defiantly right.<br />With the sword the Scythian proves himself<br />And the Persian becomes a servant.<br />In wrath do battle<br />The desires wild and raw,<br />And the rough voice of Eris<br />Sounds, where Charis fled.”<br /><br />But with gentle persuading request<br />Women carry the scepter of morality,<br />Purge the discord that glows in rage,<br />Teach the powers, that hate each other inimically<br />To embrace in the lovely form<br />And unite what flees forever.”<br /><br />Forgetful of his humanity,<br />Man’s vain delusion dares<br />To compete with demons,<br />Who are never approached by desires<br />Proudly he scorns the escort<br />Of quietly warning nature,<br />Swings in the sky’s expanse<br />And loses track of the earth.<br /><br />But on a true path of feelings<br />Walks the woman toward the divine goal,<br />That she silently, but more certainly reaches.<br />Strives on beauty’s winged chariot<br />To carry mankind to the stars,<br />Which men conquer only by killing.”</p>
<p>And how the same German poet portrays the women's dominion in his “Song of the Bell”:</p>
<p style="padding-left:20px;">The man has to go out<br />Into hostile life,<br />Must work and strive<br />And plant and create,<br />scheme and grasp,<br />Must bet and dare<br />To hunt down happiness<br /><br />There streams the infinite gift.<br />It fills the storehouse with exquisite goods,<br />The rooms grow, the house expands.<br />And inside rules<br />The chaste housewife,<br />The mother of children,<br />And rules wisely<br />In the domestic realm,<br />And teaches the girls,<br />And keeps harm from boys,<br />Ceaselessly stirring<br />Her hardworking hands,<br />And increases the profit<br />With an orderly sense<br />And fills the fragrant chests with treasures,<br />And turns round the purring spindle the thread<br />And gathers in the cleanly smoothed shrine<br />The shimmering wool, the snowy linen,<br />And adds to the good the shine and the shimmer<br />And never rests.”</p>
<p>The ideal of the great German poet has become the ideal of the German people. And that, in our humble opinion, has contributed much, infinitely much, to the rise of the German people, who do not boast with pride like the French: “Nous marchons a la tete de la civilisation,” but who are ranked first among the culture of peoples by impartial observers of other peoples.</p>
<p>It has held the family high, and the family is the foundation and cornerstone of all human development, civilization, and culture. Whoever shakes the family, is like the person who seeks to destroy the foundation of a building. The destruction of the foundation will consequently lead to the collapse of the building.</p>
<p>The proponents of women’s suffrage rock the very foundation of the family, which is why we have been their unrelenting opponents for decades. Who are the main advocates of dragging the woman down from her ruler’s seat in the “domestic realm” into the dust of the street, the dirt of politics? The women, who accuse nature of injustice, because it has encumbered the female sex with the burden of the reproduction of mankind, who are unwilling to fulfill the sacrosanct tasks and duties imposed on them, who consider marriage and motherhood to be degrading and those who, for the sake of provision, commit to the former, seek to evade the latter and know how to evade it. The irregular Greek word of time, the true meaning of which the students in the seventh grade of gymnasium wrack their brains over, has unfortunately ended up as an excessive and perishable influence in the modern world.</p>
<p>In order to increase her influence, the woman doesn’t need voting rights. On the contrary, as the opponents of women’s suffrage correctly prove, it can only be diminished by the right to vote. So why this rape of the majority, the overwhelming majority of women, by an insignificant but very loud minority?</p>
<p>It is emphasized again and again in this country, that the majority should rule. We hope and expect that the men of Iowa, at least those of Davenport and Scott County, will vote tomorrow in the special election on the women’s suffrage amendment to the state constitution, and stand up for the majority of women who do not want to know about the right to vote, and with a cross in the box in front of the word “No”, will strive for and enforce the rejection of the amendment.<br /><br />[translated by Leanne Lenhart]</p>
