An Appeal.

Mothers and Sisters of Charlottetown : As welook at our present surroundings, and think of the great responsibility that rests upon us as women, we appeal to you, for the sake of the youth of our city, to look about you. You cannot fail to see the many snares laid for unwary feet; then, use your votes and influence for the man who will be fearless and earnest in protect- ing those youlove. There are some of you, perhaps, who do notgthiak it womanly for a woman to vote, This is a false impression. The. woman who yotes for righteousness is worthy of true woman- hood Got lays upon you a great responsi- bility, but in the martyrs name go to the polls to-mcerrow and use your vote and in- fluence for the advancement of Gods kingdom, for the beloved interests of our homes and for the prosperity and morel ty

of our city. : W.C.T. U. Ch’town, Jan. 27th, 1891.
