Logical Opposition.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, advocating woman suffrage in New York, said:
"I have never heard in all my life a single able or logical opposition to woman suffrage. The average opposition is neither better nor worse than the argument of a certain carter.
"Ah, he growled, wot would womin do with a vote if they had it? Contrary critters! Why, if I says to my old souan, 'Gimme liver and bacon for dinner,' do I git it? Nawr I git tripe and onions."
