“ Socialists have been counted on the suffragist side. Those who have declared themselves as against woman suffrage, or as members of anti-suffrage organizations, or who propose to confine the franchise to school or municipal questions, or to taxpaying women, have been counted in the opposition to suffrage. On the other hand, those who believe in restricted suffrage for men and women alike have been counted in favor. In other words, the record, as made up, is of those for or against equal suffrage, eliminating sex as a discriminating qualification. ”
