Copenhagen.


Says a Copenhagen correspondent:
"The first election under the new
Finnish constitution took place on
March Is. The outcome of it is by
this time known through the daily
press. Its most remarkable feature,
however, was wholly independent of
what party carried off the victory or
went down to defeat For the first
time in the history of the world
European women exercised the full
privilege of political suffrage, without
any restriction not also applicable to
the men. It is, perhaps, still more re-
markable that acknowledgements was
conferred on them by the commission
drafting the new election law after
every party in tile country had put on
it's program demand for woman suf~>
frage. Between the PRONUNCIATION Of
the law and the date set for the first
election under it the women developed
an activity which would in itself have
proved them worthy of the rights
granted them. Schools for women
voters were established everywhere.
and for weeks prior to the election the
poor peasant women of pure Finnish
blood and the highly educated women
Of the Swedish descended intellectual
class sat side by side in rapt attention
while the provisions of the law as well
as the task awaiting them as voters
and as possible lawgivers We're ex.
planned to them fully and clearly by
the leaders of the woman movement
Miss Maikki Friberg, herself one Of
those leaders and a candidate for the
handbag on the ticket nominated by
the Young Finnish party, writes in
Det NY Aarhundrede Copenhagen,
of the events which logically resulted
in the Acknowledgement of her sex. She
points out that the provision giving
suffrage to the women came as a sur
prise to the whole civilized world, and
that, when the first shock of surprise
had passed, everybody regarded It
simply as an additional sign of the
general spread of democratic ideas.
But the action of the various parties.
