BILL
WOMEN TO VOTE
PASSES COMMONS

London, May SIN the House Of
Commons, this afternoon, Sir George
Kemp, Liberal. moved the second read
ing of "a bill to confer the parlia-
mentary franchise on women"
The measure is similar to the one
smothered in committee, last year. It
proposes to confer the parliamentary
franchise to every woman with a
"householder's qualification, as is
now the case in municipal elections.
1t also allows such women to vote
even if married, provided their hus-
bands do not vote in the same dis
trict.
The ants began an effort to talk
the measure to death.
Despite the efforts of the obstruc-
tionists, the bill passed by a vote Of
255 to So. 1t was then referred to a
committee. 1t is believed that it has
a fair chance Of final passage.
