ballot has quietly made some headwsy In
Delaware. Women who pay town taxes
have been given the right to vote In the
new charters of Newark, Clayton, wyom.
ing and Milford, and amendments are
pending to the charters OF Seaford and
Frederick, the former of which restores
10 them like privilege which they had
formerly enioged but which had been
taken away several years ago, and the
latter implicitly grants the ballot in
municipal elections to unmarried women
who pay town taxes. Unless we are mis-.
taken, the pending new charter Of Mid.
dietown also conters upon women Who
pay town taxes the privilege OF voting at
town elections. Then there is a bill un.
der way that has passed the Senate and
stands good chance of going through
the House, which provides that women
in WILMINGTON who pay taxes ON city
property may vote for members Of our
own Board Of Education. When this
measure becomes law, it ought to be
possible to bring ont more than the pitt.
