“Woman will rise to the heights of her womanhood in the simple and honest use of the ballot. She will vote in local matters as in national matters for the very best men and the very best measures that she can discover with her more or less limited opportunities. She will learn, she will progress, she will achieve, and her sons and sons’ sons will be the better for her striving, her mistakes, and her final intelligent use of power. Even if she didn’t do any of these things, she has been given a right to vote or not to vote, to be good, or to be bad, without any man dictating to her or holding her in bondage. So welcome home, old vote, you’ve come none too soon.”
