Editress Suffrage Cook Book:
What do I think of woman suffrage? I wrote the resolution in the Kansas Senate submitting the const.i.tutional amendment for it. When I became Governor of Kansas I found a hundred little orphans at our State Orphans' Home, mothered by a man. The little unfortunates at our schools for the deaf and the blind were mothered by men. I placed women at the head of these inst.i.tutions.
