To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir Helen Kendrick Johnson in her recent booN

upon the physical force argument. So much -

cussiOn than 1t has yet received. The Objection IT,
in brief that II womens votes turied the scale ~

would refuse to abide by the result.
This Is a matter in which we have some exper'-
ence 10 guide us. Women have been voting TOT
many years, in many different places and upon
great variety OF questions. There has never beeh
any refusal abide by the result For the iast
nine years the women voters Of Boston have turned
the scale at almost every school election. The DE-
feated candidates have never tried to reverse the
result by force of arms and every one knows there
Is not the slightest practical danger OF their doihs
so. In Kansas women have had municipaI suh'"s'

been any attempt at nsurrection. In Elk Fails 'he

a man Of the same age? In Colorado the women
vote defeated Governor Waite. who has become an

candidates but no disorder has ever resulted.
