UNCHAINING THE DEMONS OF THE LOWER WORLD, OR A PETITION OF NINETY-NINE PER CENT. AGAINST
SUFFRAGE.
Madam President, Ladle* and Gentlemen: I am thoroughly convinced that woman suffrage, if universally
and generally adopted, in a social and political system like ours, would be most unfortunate. I fear it would eventually lead to the ruin of American homelife; the destruction of our moral code; the lowering of womans power and influence; and the final undoing of our government. The women who ask it are simply the uncon scious agents of Gods wont enemies.
Every government that has grown up and flourished in the his tory of the world based its strength and its power on the high virtue and noble character of its women. Every government that has gone to decay has done so through the lowering of the moral standards of .its women. There is a wide gulf between the women of the upper world and those of the lower world. Society has exiled the vicious element and placed them beyond that gulf. Politics in petticoats win bring them back into defiant power for evfl.
Womans emancipation, as they can it, is the opportunity to bridge or to tunnel that gulf, and bring the lower world back. Wicked woman is good womans worst enemy; therefore, the de stroyer of the race. This scheme is wicked womans emancipation, and good womans ruination.
From what I have seen of womankind, I am led to say that the wicked woman win use the billot ten times as eagerly, ten times as effectively as the modest, good woman.
This is an address in which I beg that yon consider the interest of woman, the real woman, the head of the home, the mother of the family, the wife of the husband, the builder of our Christianity, the builder of our character, the woman who is about to be destroyed in the name of socalled "Womans Rights."
The South can certainly not play with these fires; and the his-

tory of election* in the Western States, where woman suffrage has been tried, shows that it has been disastrous wherever attempted.
Women are a part of society, and they wfll never be a political organisation. They belong to as many different classes, and rep resent as many varying interests in business and social life, in moral and political creeds as the man.
This suffrage movement is an attempt at individualism and an attack on the home. It wfll lead to the conditions that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. It wfll make us in this part of the country face the horrible conditions that it has brought about in the city of Chicago, where 54,000 women voted solidly for the candidate of the wide-open town, and defeated the reform candidate for Mayor. It wfll destroy mens respect for women; it wfll make society the Mecca for the demons of the underworld, and by doing so it wfll injure the good woman and society and the government. I say this because of the conditions that are now glinting in the big cities where the awful blunder of womans suffrage has already been made.
Woman suffers no more from taxation without representation than does her voting brother. She is as much represented in the lawmaking bodies to-day as her voting brother.
Without the ballot she is favored by every law which she has ever sought, and wields the greatest power possible because she is nonpartisan under existing conditions.
I believe that I can prove to your satisfaction that her power wfll be less the minute she becomes a part of political machinery instead of the queen of society and home.
I am convinced that the fight is very similar to that which took place in Paradise, when Lucifer and dissatisfied angels undertook to destroy the conditions in Heaven, and to reorganize the insti tution so that they would have greater power. I believe that the results wfll be just as unfortunate for an parties concerned, as were the results which attended the fall of Lucifer and those angels which fell with him.
It is an attack of the demons of the underworld, who are un willing to be ostracized from society. They are led by some good people, who do not realize what they are doing. They get their leaders out of many of the best homes, where conditions are now heavenly, but where wreck and ruin wfll follow happiness, if the

revelation is successful Their colors are false, their battle cry deceptive; their cajoling is that of the spider to the fly, and every good woman who yields to the temptation wffl be as regretful as was the fly. They parade in the name of virtue, but are building a throne for vice. They slogan prohibition and can live only over or in barrooms. The grinning demons are giggling in glee in the deepest pits while watching a handful of our good women blindly
assume leadership for them.
I appeal to you to stop it if yon can. I appeal to my fellow countrymen to get busy, and speak out; for it is not a laughing matter when we see five women, the leaders of this motley Max Eastman horde of free lovers, etc., convincing a whole legislature that they are moving in the interest of women, and securing suffrage for an entire State, notwithstanding the fact that for every woman who asks the ballot in any State, there are ninetyeight who ask that conditions be allowed to exist as they are.
I feel safe in saying that no greater danger has threatened the American people in its history. The troubles with the Indian were destined to end with the survival of the fittest. The French, the Spaniards, the English, the Mexicans all made a hopeless attack, and a little bloodshed was the result. When brother rose up against brother in the great struggle to settle the question of States rights, it was plain that with the cessation of hostilities, our civilization would move forward, our high standards would be carried stfll higher, and that America was destined to enjoy an the blessings of a thrifty, courageous people of moral standards and ideals; but this is a cruel attack on our ideals, and against the foundations on which our home and society have been buflded.
I shudder to think of the consequences.

MY PERSONAL INTEREST.
The papers have frequently referred to the fact that my views on this subject would be interesting because-1 am President of the Georgia-Alabama Business College, an institution that prepares annually hundreds of young ladies for business life. The idea has
been expressed by some on the other side of the question, that as a friend to woman in business, it is my duty to advocate woman suffrage.
I consider it a privilege, therefore, to state why I believe that the man who opposes woman suffrage is a better friend to woman, to his country and to society, than the man who favors suffrage, or who is quiescent or indifferent.
The man who favors or helps the cause of woman suffrage is defeating the very cause that it is his purpose to promote. I am a husband and am the father of three daughters, and have several female relatives whose interests are sacred to me. I would be the last man in this world to undertake to abridge womans rights in any particular, but I take the ground that woman suffrage has been a mistake in every State that has tried it, and that it will
prove a more serious mistake if ever tried in the South. It will give good women no advantages, it will give societys exiles a bludgeon of death and destruction. It is horrible enough in those wild States of the West, where regard for woman has never been any too great, but it will be tragic in its consequences if tried in the South, and the tragedy will not be long in developing. It will eventually be ruinous wherever it is tried, it will quickly be ruinous
if tried in the South.
It is not necessary for me to tell this audience why I say it is so dangerous in the South. If they will read the address of Mrs. Walter D. Lamar, on an occasion similar to this, they will see a plain portrayal of what will happen when this opportunity is given to our enemies to break the solid Democratic party in this section, the Democratic party that has stood as a bulwark against every onslaught that cunning enemies and pillagers have been making against us since the close of the Civil War.
This is simply another method in which they are enlisting the aid of fair women, and some of them lovely daughters of the South: but those good women know not what they do. They have become misguided, they think that the ballot is to give woman her rights.
They will find it is one thing that will lead to certain destruction. But for the Democratic party, and its policies, and its glorious defense of woman, when Republican bayonets were trying to set black heels on white necks throughout the Southland, we would

have been the most miserable set of people, that ever suffered at the hands of a conquering enemy. We are told that we must sur render after these fifty years of stubborn resistance; as, they say, there is no longer any danger from the black per;! that Abraham Lincoln sought to use for our undoing.
Mrs. Lamar has shown very plainly that there is a danger and how it will work. I will not take time for any discussion of it here.
I hope to satisfy every one of my hearers, that woman suffrage not only has been a mistake in every State that has tried it, but it will prove a more serious mistake if not a fatal blunder if it is ever tried in the South. It is not good for any part of the United States; it is unnecessary and especially dangerous for the South.
INDUSTRIAL WOMEN.
I am unwilling to admit that we must yield to the argument that things are not like they used to be, that the womans relationship to the world is so changed that we can push Gods laws aside and set up "Individualism" in America in the place of the family unit. The claim, that because women are going out into business life, they must be given the ballot in order to assert their rights indus trially, is not a strong flaiVn. Women are marrying from the industrial ranks and taking up home life as if from schools. Some of the finest homes and best families are brought about as a result of these marriages. It has not injured woman in any way to get some practical education. It makes her a better house-wife, and more capable and valuable; a better help-meet for her husband.
For three hundred years, as we are told by the "Papers and Messages of Presidents," published under the direction of Con gress, this question has been before the American people. A small number of well meaning but misguided women have been praying for a trial of it. More than one hundred years ago it was given a trial in New Jersey. A little afterwards the privilege was with drawn. Since that time it has been tried in various States and in various forms. I do not hesitate to say that facts show that it has been found unsatisfactory every time. It will prove unsatis factory every time, whether given as the barmaids right or as a privilege to the swarms of painted dames in the underword dis tricts of Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. It does not get the results the suffragists thought it would get There are twelve states now where it is on trial. Those States have fewer laws for the benefit of women than are to be found in other States, because all voters look alike to the politician. Georgia has not granted woman suffrage, but I take the position that the women of Geor gia have never asked for the passage of any law without getting it In Georgia we have laws for the comfort of women in the fac tories and stores, laws for the protection of woman in the home; in society everywhere. We have laws that make it a crime for

a man to use an oath in the presence of woman; we have laws that protect womans insurance from all claims whatsoever; we have laws to punish men for deserting their families, and no laws to punish women for doing so; we have laws exempting the wifes property from the husbands debts. As a matter of fact, the list is too long to take up the time to enumerate them. Every spark of manhood in the South has, from time iminemorial, made us feel that it is a glorious privilege to do anything that can be done for the welfare of womankind. It is a sad mistake for woman to get her mind fixed on the few degenerate men, and judge all mankind by them. It is just as unreasonable as it is for us to get into our minds the women of the underworld, and think that they repre sent womankind.
MAN AS MORAL AS WOMAN.
Every man with intellect to understand his responsibility to God and to his country, and to posterity, represents just as high virtue, and noble traits of character as will be found among the women of his class. Women must take a high place and stay there. They cannot think of coming down from their exalted posi tions, merely because high place carries high responsibility.
A LITTLE CHILD MIGHTIER THAN THE VOTING MAN.
The strongest anti-suffrage speech that I have ever read is found in "Plutarchs Lives." It was a speech by Cato. He made it to his wife, as they sat together in the evening at his family fireside. I quote it to show you the ground on which I stand in this matter. He said to her, "The Athenians rule the Greeks; I rule the Athen ians; you rule me; your child rules you; therefore, the child is more powerful than all the Greeks." Consider that speech just a moment. The more you think about it, the more it will drive itself into your mind and souL The child is not a voter. Whence conies its power? The woman is not a voter. Whence comes her power? Is there a human being who cannot understand that through the love that bound those parents hearts to the child, the child had more in fluence than it could ever hope to have with the ballot? Was not that mother ten thousand times more powerful with the Greeks through the love that she claimed from her husband, than she could ever have been out on the hustings, or with a ballot in her hand?
SOCIAL AUTOCRACY--ITS EFFECT. Recently there appeared in The Macon Telegraph a letter from a woman who complained of a degenerate young Johnnie on the street corners insulting women who passed. She was shocked and horrified that the son of a white woman could descend so low, and I agreed with her; but I could not help laughing when I read at the end of her letter where she made the statement that nothing of this kind would happen if woman had the ballot.

I recall that we have already laws against Johnnies of that kind. Why are they not enforced? Let me tell you confidentially: The laws against such Johnnies are not enforced because there are too many women helping to defeat the laws.
For every wicked man there is a wicked woman, and they help each other in destructive work.
KILLING OF ONE WOMAN.
In Bibb County, where we had so long tried to enforce the Pro hibition Law, men were frequently killed as an outcome of the blind tiger business. During the week prior to the big mass meet ing three men had been killed as a result of whiskey selling, and yet the public hardly noticed it. They were voting men. It is doubtful if three people in Macon to-day could tell who the men were; but the moment a woman was killed by a stray bullet frozn a drunken mans pistol, the whole community was aroused; and even the half hundred men who had been making money and sup porting their families by the sale of whiskey, joined the people to stop the sale. That woman who was thus killed did not have the ballot; yet her influence was so great that she accomplished more through this tragedy than years of legislation and politics have been able to accomplish. The woman outside of politics is mere powerful than the woman in politics. The moment she enters the political arena it will follow as surely as night follows day, that she begins to unsex herself, and to lose her identity as a woman. She will, therefore, afterwards be known as a Democrat, or as a Republican, or as one of the partisans of a crowd too insignifi cant to be noticed. Sex deference will no longer follow her. In her proper sphere she is the power behind the throne; but out of place she is an object of pity, if not of ridicule and contempt. The ballot cannot even get prohibition, after a majority of votes have been cast for it. There must be more than statute law to control society.
REFORMS DEMANDED ARE SOCIETYS DUTY.
Many a good woman has a poor idea about the power of the ballot. Experience brings to her a sad awakening. The reforms that the few are now craving belong for the most part to societys work. Woman is queen in society; she has power there, and her home is her throne.
The sentiment that demands good law is worth vastly more than the law itself. The sentiment can be effective without the law, but law cannot be effective without being backed by the senti ment. Woman can make the sentiment; therefore, woman is already the greatest lawmaker that we have. She is trying to exchange her birthright for a mess of pottage. Woman has always had the ability to build a good government by building fine boys

in the home circle. She represented the ideals of government. Those who cannot be mothers of boys can live so as to aid all good mothers.
RIGHTS VERSUS DUTIES.
Where people do their duty most they have to assert their rights least. Rights come to us as a reward for duty performed. I should like to see one more party added to the list of womans parties: In addition to the Suffragists, Socialists, Feminists, and Peace Partyists, I should like to see a Womans Duty Party, and let that party study constantly to see what woman can do to help society reform public sentiment so that society will not teach young men to be drunkards and gamblers and to regard women lightly. As long as influential society women declare openly that they like men who have a spice of the devil in them, men who do not walk just exactly on the straight line, society will need all the help it can get from its women. Those women will not have time to bother with politics.
WOMAN NEVER UNANIMOUS WHY?
All women are not good; all women do not think alike, they do not belong all to the same class; their moral reasoning is not identical they say this themselves. What woman does not con sider herself superior to some other woman or some other women, and God pity her if she is not. She says that they do not see things alike. Then, how can you expect them to vote alike? They are a part of society. They have as many varying interests as the men.
WOMEN ARE WITH THEIR MEN.
If you attack the barkeepers and say they are doing a horrible business, is the barkeepers mother going back on her boy and try to ruin his business when she is probably receiving her daily bread from it? Is the widow of a barkeeper, who has inherited a piece of property in the whiskey district, going to join you and say that she is willing to take the fifty or seventy-five dollars a month out of her mouth by stopping the rental on her property and running whiskey off the street simply because woman asks her to do it? If you think so, you do not know women. These women the mothers, the sisters, the daughters, the cousins, the aunts all of the women who are identified with men engaged in these busi nesses that you despise are more interested in their men than they are in you. The interests of men and women are indivisible. They are like the positive and negative currents of electricity, one is no good without the other. When you ask them to line up with you at the ballot box against those men, you are going to find that your political influence does not equal your social influence. If you have power now, it is social power.

POWER TO EXILE ENEMIES.
You have the power to absolutely exile any woman who breaks your social laws. You drive her out with whips and scorns into a world from which her voice is heard no more. She lives forever after in the land of darkness and dares not come into your pres ence again. No such power will follow you into politics. The minute you say to womankind that petticoats entitle one to the voting privilege, you bring back those women into vigorous com petition with you on an equal footing. You give them power that they had never before hoped for. They are your worst enemies; they live to tear down all you could build up; they live to destroy your homes and your happiness; they entice and destroy your sons, brothers, sweethearts, and, shame to say, sometimes your fathers; they hate you and would undo you in every possible way. They hide their faces from the light of day and are content to keep out of your sight; but give them the ballot, letting them know that their vote will count as much as yours; let them have their influence sought by all manner of men in politics, and you have given them a bludgeon with which they will brain you. Let this community enfranchise such people and they will rush in here from all directions, as they have rushed on Chicago and San Fran cisco. Boldness counts in politics, and those people get bold when they get power. And what are you going to do when that time comes? You are going to retire into the sacred quiet of your home and beg hubby, and buddy, and papa to go and try to undo the great damage you have done to your country and to society. Do you think you can sit at home if you feel like it and leave the voting to those who feel like voting? then I have warned you of the consequences.
CALIFORNIA AND ILLINOIS A BAD ADVERTISEMENT.
The statement is freely made that the large cities of California and Illinois are being overrun by the wicked element of woman kind. They are flocking there from all parts of the civilized world, because nowhere else on earth do they find themselves possessed of greater power, more influence and better recognition from the public. It is certainly a case of woman emancipated; she has come into her own there, if thats what you mean by "woman," if thats the kind of woman you are fighting for. Remember that she is the woman that has led to the fall of empires and destroyed civiliza tions; she is the woman that the French called the Devil; she is the terror against which I am appealing. Max Eastman may cham pion her cause if he likes, and she probably gladly applauds Max Eastmans declaration that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a fallen woman; and that Joseph married her through pity. She believes there is no virtue because she knows it not Thats the level, my friends, to which they are dragging you; and I appeal to you to

stop it if you can. Do not let the cry go out any longer that this awful campaign is a campaign in behalf of woman. It is a cam paign against real -woman. It is a campaign in behalf of destruction.
In Illinois, Chicago is the great city. In 1015, Chicago put up a reform candidate for mayor; and opposed to him was a candidate for a wide-open town. Do you know what, a "wide-open town" is? It is a town in which everything goes; wicked women and wicked men have their way. No crime is considered a crime in such a town so long as you do not kill somebody of too much political influence. Woman is emancipated in such a town that woman who ruins. In Chicago the votes of women are counted separately from those of the men; and it is claimed that fifty-four thousand women cast their votes for the wide-open town and ran the reform candidate clear out of the field.
SMALL BUNCH OF NOISE MAKERS.
There are twenty-four million women in America who would be affected by the franchise if it became universal. Two hundred thousand of these twenty-four million have signified their willing ness to accept the ballot. Three hundred years of campaigning has gained the consent of this one per cent, of the women of America to accept the ballot.
Twenty-three million, eight hundred thousand women, have not agreed to accept the ballot. They are for the most part on the side of anti-suffrage.
Our friends on the other side are so eager for a following that they have taken in Max Eastman and his Socialists, Peace Partyists, and Free Love Party; and I would beg my good friends to keep out of that awful crowd. They cannot get you any rights, and it is a shame on our Southern womanhood that our good women should give sanction that even one of them should give sanction to that feminist doctrine that has so long been practiced by the savages of Africa, and out of which we have only recently been able to partially educate the negro women of the South. I have read that campaign literature from the other side in which they pleaded for equal rights for women in love affairs, in moral conduct and in all the things of life. When representative woman comes down to the level that they are pleading for, then our doom is sealed.
If on the petition of five women, one State granted woman suffrage, such a startling thing might be done again if you do not keep awake.
FAMILY AND UNITY.
When this government was established it was based on the most solid principles that the experience of man had been able to dis-

cover. This experience shows that the only civilization that can endure, is the one that puts virtue above expedience and makes the family the unit of citizenship. Each family in our government was given a voice in the government. The ballot is no mans right, it is a privilege. The privilege was given to a family or to a fam ilys representatives. That was the only practical plan that could be devised out of the experience of man. It was necessary that there should be some inequality in the plan. There must always be inequality in society. We cannot look to the interest of the individual; we must look to the interest of the majority of indi viduals. But it was the purpose of the founders of the government to make the family the unit and to encourage family unity, and not to encourage individualism. Individualism is a dangerous thing. It has ruined empires, and it may ruin this republic.
If it were not for the specious claims that woman suffrage means no more immorality, no more whiskey, no more war, no more hunger, no more hard work, no more poor pay, no more ill temper, no more injustice and long lines of other most ridiculous and absurd claims, all good women would see the movement in its true light.
One prominent speaker on the other side, a woman of enthusiasm and accomplishment, argued with me on one occasion that ballots for women would have to be an established fact before we would ever be able to stamp out illiteracy. They are absolutely confident that ballots for women will stop drunkenness, and scare old Satan clear off the earth. Of course, such claims will win folks. Who doesnt want to see Satan dethroned? Who doesnt want to see wickedness stamped out? and who doesnt want to see human perfection? The absurd part of it is that all such talk is campaign buncombe. Ballots for women will never give anything but trouble. Look to the records in Illinois and California.
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
A great deal is said about taxing our women without letting them vote; and this is pointed to as taxation without represen
tation. Must the government reward us, for having reared no family?
That was not the purpose of our founders. We were to encourage the families. Corporations have no vote; alien property owners have no votes, etc. We vote through representatives. We vote and send somebody to the legislature to represent us. The women in the family are represented in politics by their husbands or their sons, or their brothers. It is a government that is conducted through representative voting. The individual does not really do the voting. If the Republican party is in power, a Democrat has no voice in government; if a Democrat belongs to the minority,
the minority is always without representation.

I would that I had the power and influence over my represen tatives in the lawmaking bodies, that a good mother has over the voting representatives of her family. She is not without power or representation.
I heard a good woman say that the American Revolution was fought because America did not believe in taxation without rep resentation. Americas complaint was that, she had no voice in the government one way or the other. She was not allowed to send representatives to the British Parliament. We send our represen tatives to Washington now, and every woman in this State is represented by these representatives. It is an entirely different case. We will always have some taxation without representation; there cannot be perfect equality.
VOTING BY PARTIES.
We cannot find a better plan for voting than we are now using. Woman, if she were given the ballot would not vote as a woman but as a Democrat or as a Republican. A great deal of deference is paid to woman now because she is a woman, and because she is not a political partisan. Her influence is great because she is not a partisan. The minute she asks a favor in the name of woman, non-partisan woman, there is a great desire to grant her request. Man has always been glad to do anything he could for woman. The moment she becomes a political factor, however, the Repub licans have no time to hear her if she comes as a Democrat; the Democrats have no time to listen to her if she comes as a Repub lican. If she is a voter she would be obliged to be either a Repub lican or a Democrat, and no longer a non-partisan woman. Repub licans do not love Democrats, and Democrats do not love Republi cans, and neither tries to help the other in the world of politics. New Jersey enfranchised women, by saying that anybody in that State who had 8250 worth of property could vote provided they had reached a certain age. I imagine they raised a howl, for if a citizens worth becomes thus measured in dollars and cents, that citizens head swells proportionately when he gets a million dol lars worth of property instead of $250; and in New Jersey he began to kick very vigorously, because they would riot let him do some more voting. He claimed that they were taxing him without giving him representation. There is other worth in this land besides property, and we must not forget that the man with the gun is the man on whom the gov ernment relies when enemies assail, and when our throne is totter ing. It is fighting strength and manhood on which the govern ment must depend, and the family unit is behind the nation. Let us keep it so.

BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES.
Some of the scientists tell us that man is evolved from a proto plasm, and that when he first assumed animal form he was of dual sex, that he was both man and woman in one body; but our Bib lical history takes up the subject at the Garden of Eden, where we find man and woman separate beings, occupying separate places in the plan of the Creator. Yet they are inter-dependent. The woman is of different form, different nature, and seems entirely unsuited for the pursuits and work of man. There is a broad dif ference between the mind of man and the mind of woman; each is limitless in its power, but each varying in many particulars from the other. Woman is nervous, sensitive and not physically strong. This is especially true of the higher types of people. Mans mind is strong, calm, cool and collected. His mind is mathematical. It takes the two in combination to carry out Gods plan in the world. The woman conserves energy. There are times when she must be secluded from the world, so tfrat posterity may not suffer from shocks or excitement that disturb. She must be kept away from vexatious questions, from matters that trouble. If man fails to thus protect her and shield her, he has failed to do his part, and the race pays the price. Hardships among the women have already damaged the race. We must not disregard prenatal influences.
Since this agitation about the ballot for women started in Geor gia, we have seen no politics; we have forgotten the bloody cam paigns of half a century ago; therefore, we are likely to view this subject as people lulled to sleep in piping times of peace. When a mans womenfolks become embroiled in political strife, and the hard things said in politics begin to strike our women, we are going to butcher each other as we have never done before. I would appeal to our women to give their time and thought and splendid talents to the upbuilding of character in homes and in society, and to let politics alone. Society demands it, politics demand it, Nature demands it, and as you will see in many places in the Scriptures, God demands it.
UNCLE SAM A YOUNG GIANT.
Uncle Sam now stands before the world as the marvelous young giant of the West. He represents the youngest of the world powers and perhaps the most vigorous. His strength and the security of his position are the envy of civilization. Not yet two hundred years old, he is wielding a greater influence in the world than Rome or Greece were able to wield at five times his age. He is the modern Samson, and this speech is my appeal to you not to give Delilah the shears with which to trim his locks and bring about the destruction of the temple.
