| Above we give the vote of the women
by precinctsiat the late election. We also
for convenience give the total male vote
in the same table, We say for conven-
ience, for it is evident by comparison
with the vote given in tho official tables
last week that the votes of the ladies and
the votes of the men have but little IN
common, II the ladies had had their
way Mr.. Alexander would have been
elected by majority of IS. While il the
ladies had not had the privilege of suff
rage, then Mr.. Sherarts' official majority
would have been increased just that
much,- which would make it 318 instead
OF 233.
BY comparing the votes given to Mr..
Stockwell 1t will be seen that the ladies
voted with premeiitation and crossed to
the Alexander column in most cases,
with definite purpose to ignore party
lines, and also in opposition to the wish
es Of their husbands.
Another peculiarly Of the ladies' vote
is that they seemed to go one way or
the other qy neighborhoods. Mrs. King
seems to have not enjoyed any superior
ity on account OF the sympathy Of sex.
Only two ladies in the whole county
honored her with recognition.
On the whole there was very large
turnout. In some Of the country pre-
cincts the large vote is somewhat sur
prising. But while total vote Of 92l is
tlarge, yet Of course it only represents .
Emoiety ofthe women voters. What they
might have done if they had all turned
out IS question that we leave to others
to answer according to their political
proclivities. As q why the rest did not
turr, out to vote when they had the privi-
lege, is also . question that might Sc re-
lierred to the advocates Of woman suff.',
rage.
The total vote Of the males in each
town is Of interest as showing up the vot-
| ing population and incidentally the whole
population. Pembina with 155 votes
islands at the head, followed BY Cavalier
with 1aO, ST. Thomas 12s. Drayton 12O,
|Neche 100, Wa4halla lO4. Bathgate IS,
and SO on. Perhaps the most surprising
thing In this vote is the comparatively
low rank Of Bathgate in the list. and the
large vote Of Walhalla, as compared
with the census figures Of 1900. Pembina
lhas FIVE votes less than in 1902, which
relieves ns rom gistration a the nex.
