Warning To Suffragists

Alice Duer Miller

(”The Latin man believes that giving woman the vote will make her less
attractive.”-Anna H. Shaw.)


They must sacrifice their beauty
Who would do their civic duty,
Who the polling booth would enter,
Who the ballot box would use;
As they drop their ballots in it
Men and women in a minute,
Lose their charm, the antis tell us,
But-the men have less to lose.
