They are emptying those men upon our shores. and within a few months they are intrusted with the ballot. the lawmaking power in this Republic. and they and their representatives are seated in official and legislative positions. I. as an Americanborn woman. today enter my protest at being compelled to live nnder laws made by this class of men very largely. and myself being rendered utterly incapable of the protection thatcan only come fron the ballot. While I would not have you take this right or privilege from those men whom we invite to our shores. I do ask you. in the face of this immense foreign immigration. to enframchise the taxpaying. Intelligent. moral. nativeborn women of America.
