THE VOTING IN KANSAS.
KANSAS Cry. Mo-, April 7.-MunicipaI
elections were held throughout Kansas to-
day in cities of the fourth class. Reports
from several OF these cities indicate that
women, who are allowed by law to vote at
the city elections, cast about two
fifths of the votes. They had no candi-
dates in the field of their own sex,
but allied themselves generally with one or
the other parties in the contest. At the
election at Oskaloosa last year, the women
ran a full city ticket, and elected IL. At
the present election the women declined to
run for reelection. They said they had
placed the city's affairs in good condition,
and were willing to let the men try and
keep them, so they worked at the polls to-
day and carried the election for che SUCCESS
ful ticket. !
