That other young man gets up and says, "There are going to be great men in this country and in Philadelphia." "Is that so? When?" THAT OTHER YOUNG MAN GETS UP AND SAYS THERE ARE GOING TO BE GREAT MEN IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN PHILADELPHIA IS THAT SO WHEN
ica took our offices, we would change to an empire in the next ten years. I know of a great many young women, now that woman’s suffrage is coming, who say, “I am going to be President of the United States some day.” I believe in woman’s suffrage, and there is no doubt but what it is coming, and I am getting out of the way, anyhow. I may want an office by and by myself; but if the ambition for an office influences the women in their desire to vote, I want to say right here what I say to the young men, that if you only get the privilege of casting one vote, you don’t get anything that is worth while. Unless you can control more than one vote, you will be unknown, and your influence so dissipated as practically not to be felt. This country is not run by votes. Do you think it is? It is governed by influence. It is governed by the ambitions and the enterprises which control votes. The young woman that thinks she is going to vote for the sake of holding an office is making an awful blunder. E IF THE GREAT MEN IN AMERICA TOOK OUR OFFICES WE WOULD CHANGE TO AN EMPIRE IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS I KNOW OF A GREAT MANY YOUNG WOMEN NOW THAT WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE IS COMING WHO SAY I'M GOING TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SOME DAY I BELIEVE IN WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE AND THERE IS NO DOUBT BUT WHAT IT IS COMING AND I'M GETTING OUT OF THE WAY ANYHOW I MAY WANT AN OFFICE BY AND BY MYSELF BUT IF THE AMBITION FOR AN OFFICE INFLUENCES THE WOMEN IN THEIR DESIRE TO VOTE I WANT TO SAY RIGHT HERE WHAT I SAY TO THE YOUNG MEN THAT IF YOU ONLY GET THE PRIVILEGE OF CASTING ONE VOTE YOU DON'T GET ANYTHING THAT'S WORTH WHILE UNLESS YOU CAN CONTROL MORE THAN ONE VOTE YOU WILL BE UNKNOWN AND YOUR INFLUENCE SO DISSIPATED AS PRARACTICALLY NOT TO BE FELT THIS COUNTRY IS NOT RUN BY VOTES DO YOU THINK IT IS IT IS GOVERNED BY INFLUENCE IT IS GOVERNED BY THE AMBITIOUS AND THE ENTERPRISES WHICH CONTROL VOTES THE YOUNG WOMAN THAT THINKS SHE IS GOING TO VOTE FOR THE SAKE OF HOLDING AN OFFICE IS MAKING AN AWFUL BLUNDER
