"V0tes for Women"
Suffragettes in the Southern
Pacific Land Department
Take Poll in Office

EQUAL suffrage has shunted itself
into the land department of the South
ern Pacific. Into the calm and order
of the offices has stalked the feminine
militant. Above the rhythmic clack of
typAgriters is heard the yell of votes
for women"
The movement broke out last election
day, when the girls in the office,
painting for the excitement of the po-
iiticai hunt, took the reins into their
own hands. and, marching from en-
ploye TO employe, made them go on
record as to whether or not they were
for women voting Z The record thus
obtained is unique and poignantly fem
mime, None was spared. Even went
they to E. B. Ryan, the chiefest OF
them all. the man upon whose door en-
ployes knock thrice before entering
and whose fingers hold the life threads
of the militant ones Il think SAID
Ryan, too much of you TO allow you
to get into politics" AS the fateful
words fell from his lips they were re-
corded.
The briefest answer was that given
by Mr.. Raymond. That gentleman.
fitting his nose in the air when asked
should women vote?" replied:
Nav"
Whereupon with feminine skill the
maiden recording the list explained in
her tablets that Mr.. Raymond was the
office boy Scorn also was there in the
comment regarding the answer OF
Harry White, who opined that il he
were asked he would say 'emphatically
NO Alongside his answer was the
succinct phrase, he was not asked
Likewise when Alexander C. LaBour-
dette vociferated to wit. as follows:
should women vote? Not on your
life" 1t was marked down so that all
might read that Alexander was but IS
immature years of age. Heading the
list is B. A McAllaster, who said The
hadn't thought much about it, but il
the law was agreeable he would let
them vote The concession was re-
ceived with thanks. Turnef McAllas-
Radcliffe didn't see any harm in it,
