KANsAs-THE WOMEN VOTERS.
Topeka. Kan. April 5.The result of the municipal
elections I'm Kansas yesterday shows that universal
suffrage has received great impetus. The women
pOlled n large vote. Bot whether the result will
lead to the adoption Of the constitutional amendment
extending equal suffrage to all elective Offices in the
state at the next general election Is problem as
yet unsolved. Though 1t was the avowed intention
OF the women not 10 favor any one political candidate

votes possible, the returns from majority OF tho
cities Of the State show that they cast more votes
for the Republican candidates than for those Of the
other party. This may both the Democrats
and Popusts to antagonze the movement. The
movement Is also opposed by large number OF
voters within the ranks OF the Republican party, and
these facts, coupled with the that the suffrage
amendment must receive a twO-thirds majority at
tie next general election to carry, may prove potent
factors in It's defeat. Tile Republican ticket was
generally successful throughout the state. Returns
