Excerpt from The New Democracy
"Have you thought there could be but one Supreme? There can be any number of Supremes - One cannot countervail another, any more than one eye can countervail another, or one life countervail another." - Whitman.
A scientific age will relate its problems to natural law. We claim to be living in a scientific age. Among the problems of the hour we find one which compasses the world.
Reforms which today have no defined scientific basis upon which to rest their appeal to the people must naturally die a natural death.
The problem, Votes for Women, faces all nations. Today each nation is evolving out of its own intelligence the battle ground upon which this appeal of life, through womanhood, is to be met. The fundamental principle of Democracy found its first great victory upon these shores. Here a principle became a Republic. Here life clothed the Law of Revolution with flesh and gave the divine body bone and structure, with the blood of a mighty race for its blood. The Republic was born, under the law, a child, to be born again as a man-child, recognizing a first and a second birth in its mortal construction, - a birth which ordains followed by a birth which establishes in immortality that which was ordained in the original conception.
