ZEALAND.
The Hon. W. 7. Reeves, Agent Gen
eral for New Zealand, in a speech in
London, declared that the passing of
the act giving a vote to every woman
resident over twenty one years of age,

discord. In nineteen cases out of
twenty wives voted with their hus.
bands, or rather, he said, glancing at
the ladies present, husbands voted with
their wives. Daughters nearly always
voted as their fathers did, and sisters
often for the same candidate as their
brothers, though in the latter case he
did not speak so confidently. Woman
suffrage had been instrumental in
bringing temperance and licensing
questions to the front and had had the
effect OF excluding from public life
men whose characters would not bear
scrutiny.
