Complains that if northern agitators can come into our high schools to discuss woman suffrage, it should be fair to point out their shortcomings. Criticizes Stanton, Anthony, Shaw, Whitehouse as to their intellectual or religious shortcomings. "If you advocate the cause, don't you endorse its leaders and all they stand for? And don't forget that among its most earnest advocates are all Mormons, all Socialists, all Feminists, negro preachers and negro school teachers. A nice bunch for ladies to be associated with even politically.

"In conclusion, many prominent substantial business men are asking by what authority the City High School Auditorium is used for their harangues by political agitators, and whether the citizens of Selma are expected to vote another bond issue for the erectionn of another school to be lent to such purposes. The twelve hundred Selma women who signed a protest against Woman Suffrage, many of whomm have children at the school, should protest en masse against its desecration." Concludes with an admonition to write state senators and reps not to vote for the Susan B. Anthony amendment.
