RESULTS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
N NET ZEALAND.

New Zealand has for some time and
with much reason been regarded as Il
sort OF social and political experiment
station for the rest of the world
Whether because of its detached and
remote situation or because of the not
unnatural restlessnesS and curiosity OF
comparatively new and growing COM
munities. or for some other reason, 1t
has given itself to the trial Of many
inventions. with varying results but gen
orally with some profit to the discr1m-
mating observer One of the most inter
esting and probably not least fruitful OF
its experiments has been that of votes
for women, granted many years ago, the
apparent results of which are altogether
satisfactory to neither the advocates nor
the opponents of the system.
The common objection, that the major
iIy of women do not wish TO vote or
would not take the trouble TO do so.
seems TO be invalid at the antipodes.
There the women vote as generally as
the men. In 1908 the percentage OF
adult males registered as electors was
99.54. and Of women 99.IG, and figures
approximate to these have been main-
tanned for the last dozen years. The
percentage of males actually voting has
in the last half dozen elections ranged
from 6961 TO S401. and that of females
from 1852 to S5.1S, the figures suggest
ing a slightly greater zeal for voting
among women than among men. 1t will
not escape notice. either, that the incon-
veniences and difficulties of voting are
somewhat greater for women i'll New
Zealand than they would be in more
settled countries.
On the other hand. the promise that
woman suffrage would purify and ele-
vate politics and particularly would
Idean the end Of the liquor traffic APP
pears to have been conspicuously dis
appointed. The no-license movement
may have gained something from woman
suffrage, but it certainly has not won
that overwhelming and immediate tri-
unph which sanguine promoters eN-
pected. As for politics in general, it
cannot he denied that the moral ten
Gcncy has for years been downward.
The BOSS and the machine and
their attendant corruption have been
enormously developed since votes were
granted to women; whether because OF
or In spite Of that fact it would he III
iudicious to declare But the general I'M
preston seems to- be that on the whole,
the effect of woman suffrage i'll New Zea-
land, upon the women themselves ana
upon the body polite, has been neutral,
neither securing important profits nor
entailing serious evils

4 FIGHT That CAN BE WON.

a
The action of the "old guard in re-
fusing TO make Colonel Roosevelt tenn
i,oIary chairman of the state convention
was Il snap action. The plan tc choose
> chairman was concealed. Members or
the state committee were left under the
impression that nothing OF Importance
was 10 be done at the meeting. Many
permitted their places 10 be filled by
proxies. and three members of the COM
mittee were not represented at all. 1t
happens that these three members were
all opponents of the old guard, so that
If they had been present the vote would
have been 20 10 IS against Mr.. Roose-
Welt instead of 20 to II. Moreover. one
of the committeeman represented by
prGXY was Mr.. John i. Bartlett. OF Mr..
Roosevelt's own district. His proxy
voted against Mr. Roosevelt. Would
Mir. Bartlett have voted with the ''old
guard If he had himself been present?
If he had he would certainly not have
represented the sentiment of the Repub-
licans of the district in which the ex
President lives.
The hurry and secrecy with which the
Barnes Woodruff Wadsworth element
acted do not indicate confidence on
their part. Apparently they chose a
chairman on Tuesday because they
feared that if il became known that
Colonel Roosevelt was ready to serve in
that capacity public sentiment would
compel his selection next month. And
II {of- into
Grafton the absence of the three Roose-
Welt committeeman from Western New
York and of the regular member from
the coloners home district-by which
they controlled the situation on Tues
Gay shows they had good reason to
doubt their ability to keep command of
it month hence with the public aware
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's intentions.
If an aggressive fight is made to take
the control of the state convention away
from the men who now control the state
committee there is no reason why it
should not be successful. If the various
districts should stand in the convention
lust rs the state committeeman voted at
the meeting on Tuesday the 'old guard
1.01J delegates But the delegates to
the state convention are chosen by As
semtly districts. and on the basis of
last years primaries the Hughes senti-
Tent would send Progressive delegates
from several upstate Assembly districts
within the territory represented by state
committeeman who voted against Colo
rel Roosevelt. Moreover. if n straight
ont issue is made there is hardly any
doubt that several of these committee
men would be unable to control their
districts against Roosevelt and Hughes
and the Progressive programme.
There is not much time left to begin
that fight which has not even begun
vet" II will not do simply TO stand by
and wait in the belief that the mere
mention of some magic name will bear
down all opposition That plan has been
tried too long Several magic names
have been mentioned in succession, and
they have not done the work.
