Women have been potent political
factors at the late election in five states.
In Colorado, Wyoming Kentucky, I'LL
nois and New York they have turned
the political scale. Yet in Kansas and
New York woman suffrage has just
been defeated, in part, by Republican
votes. OF woman in this election il
may be said, as was said of her great
examplar: ''She saved others. Herself
she could not save. But parties, like
individuals, in the long run become
aware of their own interests Women
are the predestined saviors Of our free
institutions, and society for its own
protection will soon arm them with the
ballot Boston Woman 9 Journal.
