in four states and on some questions in twenty or thirty more." continued Mrs. Saxon, men have experienced great sur prise that greater changes have not been made and many reforms wrought in the four states which have the womens Vote and some complain that the woman's vote is not so large now as 1t was at first
 Things have gone entirely too far now for women to make any material change, firmly as I believe in a free expression of human will at the ballot box. In the states where women vote little more care is given in the candidates put up to see there is no great moral defects in his character. I can see little change. The thinking and earnest women like the thinking and earn est men are the minority voters every where. Certainly in time intelligent men and women will try to secure some way of getting proportional representation for the minority.
 Experience shows in every election that the ignorant and illiterate native and for eigner care nothing for our institutions, and can be induced to vote for hire or the securing of petty office. The vote of the ignorant appathetio or venal goes to swell the contesting parties and to secure the election by these votes Is considered the highest evidence of party diplomacy.
