A few days ago the king received
deputation of women, who presented
petition from the Female Suffrage
league. His majesty assured them of
his personal sympathy with their as
pirations, but reminded them that the
electoral reform bill now awaiting the
riksdag's final action had taken many
years to force it's way into public ia
vor. When the cause or female suf-
frage had won the equal hold of the
public mind, he would be glad to give
it his support. There can be no doubt
that the movement is gaining ground,
and the day may not be very far off,
when the riksdag will have to deal
with it seriously. 1t may be added
that the Swedish "suffragettes" COM
pare very favorably with their sisters
elsewhere, and their conduct of the
movement has done much to win sym
pathy.
