WHEN WOMEN
HAVE BALLOT
National Suffrage Congress
Hears FeTVent Address From
Katherine BaIIVRtine
Associated Press.


Buffalo, y. y Oct, 2o,-The Ma
tonal Woman Suffrage association Is
in session here and the attendance
from over the union is large.
Many distinguished women are
present and scenes attending the
convention are interesting and in
sprins,
Katherine Reed Bsllentine ad-
dressed the convention yesterday
evening. Her subject was Woman
Suffrage at Home and Abroad, +"
She said this country was tagging
behind the mousrchics OF Europe in
conceding he franchise to women,
said she.
Now that women are voting in
Russia, have courage to hope that
We shall some time obtain suffrage
in New York, Massachusetts and
Maine.
I'm England the last and ANAL ar
gument that women do not them
selves want the fran -hise, has become
ridiculous. On June IS, $4,000
suffragists paraded through the
streets OF London. 1t is said that
the Woman Suffrage meeting OF the
2lst was the largest public meeting
over held for any cause. The former
premier, Mr.. Balfour, was taken az
his word when he said: Agitate:
kick up a fuss; keep on kicking
Get In to the public eye through the
newspapers and stay there. If in
terest and publicity wane, kick up
a new kind OF a fuss. And all the
time keep knocking at the doors Of
parliament No one now doubts that
the women OF England want and in
tend to have votes.
In Four States.
Between 1869 and 1896 full SUI
frage was granted to women in four
states OF this union-Wyoming, Col
orado, Utah and Idaho-and In South
Australia. West Australia gave full
parliamentary suffrage to women in
1900. TWO years later full national
suffrage was granted to the women
Of federated Australia, in Tasmania
IN 1903 and in Queensland in 1905.
In 1906 the women OF Finland were
given full suffrage and nineteen
elected to the first parliament.
Twenty-Five have been elected to the
second. within the last year wo.
men have obtained full suffrage in
Norway. In Russia, army officers
and women who own property may
now vote by proxy for members of
the douma.
1T Is interesting to note that the
most backward countries are not
without some form of woman's rights
The subject recently
,ame up in the Spanish Cortez, and |
