ABSTRACT
We find many persons, both men and women, who know very little about the matter, and who consequently feel indifferent as to whether women receive the benefit of representation or not. When they commit offences they are punished quite as heavily as men are, and although denied the privilege and protection of representation, are obliged to obey to the letter all the laws made in a parliament whose members they have no voice in electing. Many persons are under the impression that women country have no wrongs to complain of, and therefore they do not see any necessity to support a movement which is set to redress the wrongs which its advocates believe women labour under, owing to the want of political representation. The franchise is the best means that has as yet been devised for the protection and representation of the people, and until a better method is discovered, women will be glad to have the benefit of it.
