in this country and in England. There
was time when the agitation OF this ques-
ton would have been impossible In this
country BY all tho early charters and
constitutions Of nearly all the colonies and
States women were entitled TO vote, the
word finale" having been introduced at n
comparatively recent period. Judge G. ID.
Waite, Of Chicago, n year or 30 ago, with
great industry made search OF these
charters and constitutions, and in n
pamphlet entitled "Who Were Voters in
the Early History Of the Country" sums
up as follows
The right Of suffrage was without distinction Of
sex In Massachusetts, for 100 years IN Rhode Island
for about lsO years, In Connecticut for nearly 100
years, In New York for over 10 years in New Jer
scy, by the Constitution for 40 years, and by the

II thus appears that in the cause OF

who have been conspicuous In It's advo-
cacy, are merely urging for the restoration
OF a right Of which women have unjustly
been deprived. For more than forty years
the question OF this restoration has been agi-
