Mrs Plat. whom Mrs. Harper quotes. says
that the best women OF Colorado vote more
generally than the best men. and that tho
women OF the half, world" " do not vote "un-
ter" and yet the women have done nothing to
purify politics. and when. In 1892. before
women voted out OF Presidential vote OF
93S43. the men cast 1913 votes for the Prohi-
bition candidate, in 1896, when women voted,
out Of 1914 votes cast for President. 1G1 81
votes we're cast for Bryan. 2G.27l for Mckn-
ley and only LIZ votes were east for the Pro-
hihiton candidate. So that. although the
Presidential vote was more than doubled, only
Dmore votes were cast for prohibition when
both men and women voted than were cast
