A future Washington legislator plans a controversial bill to exclude voters who cannot read or write, affecting both men and women. The proposal, framed as patriotic but risking political extinction, would bar illiterates from voting and attack the suffrage debate by demanding literacy as a qualification.
The passage questions who should vote noting many illiterate voters exist alongside literate ones. It observes women have gained suffrage but argues many should not have the ballot and some men lack the ability to vote. The tone hints at political courage lacking to restrict suffrage.
Notice in probate column states that the undersigned has been appointed and qualified as executor of the estate of Ans A Lind, late of Pocahontas County Iowa, deceased. All persons indebted to that estate are required to render an account and settlement to the executor.
