ta Republic is a desirable form of government, then we should have it t
is not then we ought not pretend that we have it. We must be true to our ideals
And the men of New York have for the first time in their lives, the rare
opportunity, of making the state truly a part of the Republic It is the greatest
opportunity which has ever come to the men of the state yet so few people
realize what a profound problem they have to solve on November second tis
not merely a trifing matter it is the most vital problem we could have, and
any man who goes to the polls next November without thoroughly informing
himself in regard to this subject is unworthy to be a citizen of this state, and
undit to cast a ballot
I woman's suffrage is wrong, it is a great wrong and if it is night, it is a
profound and fundamental principle. Let us see where we are as a people,
how we act here and what we think we are
Passage 2
Came Chapman Cat
I have taken for my subject, "The Crisis," because I believe that a crisis has
come in our movement which, if recognized and the opportunity seized with
vigor, means the final victory of our great cause in the very near future I am
aware that some sufragists do not share this belief as they see no signs nor
symptoms today which were not present yesterday, no manifestations in the
year 1916 which differ significantly from those in the year 1910. To them, the
movement has been a steady, normal growth from the beginning and must so
continue until the end. I can only defend my claim with the plea that it is better
to imagine a crisis where none exists than to fail to recognize one when it
comes for a crisis is a culmination of events which calls for new considerations
and new decisions A tailure to answer the call may mean an opportunity lost, a
possible victory postponed
in their speeches, how do Shaw and Cat advocate for sufrage different?
A. Shaw argues that New York cannot be part of the Republic as long as men remain uneducated about women's rights, whereas Cat argues that crisis is essential to the success of the sufrage movement
B. Shaw argues that because New York is part of a democracy, it has a responsibility to support the sutrage movement, whereas Cat argues
that it sufragists want equality, they need to stop ignoring opportunites
C. Shaw argues that the success of the sutrage movement depends on men's willingness to recognize that inequality exists, whereas Catt
argues that sufragists are responsible for securing equal rights for women
D. Shaw argues that a Republic does not exist without equal rights for women, whereas Cat argues that talling to recognize that inequality is
a crisis will lead to the failure of the sufrage movement
