DR.. AYLESW0RTH ASSERTS
W0MEN'S V09ES DO GOOD
Speaker Discusses What Result Has
Been In Colorado and other
Places.

There are three groups OF women in
America" said DIR. Barton o. Aylesworth
at a meeting held at the Brandeis club
rooms yesterday afternoon, 1.-THE good
women, the bad women and the women
who believe the ladies' Home Journal"
This was said lightly, but 1t had bearing
on a serious answer which DR.. Aylesworth
was giving to a questioner. He was con-
Quoting a question box and answering the
question OF why such different reports
were given OF the result Of woman's voting
in Colorado This led to a consideration
OF those who had spread the statement
that equal suffrage was not a success in
the western states and in refuting II with
emphatic statement and illustration Of the
good results from the woman's vote in
his state.
In reply to the question of what was
the effect of voting upon women them
selves and whether the act of voting
lessened the respect felt for and shown
to woman. Or. Aylesworth cited the re-
spect in which women of Colorado are
held. Her voting there. he said, has re-
suited in direct benefit In the laws con-
corning women which the women have foa-
tered and in the effect upon the women
themselves.
did you read" he asked "In the morn
ing paper about what happened in Seattle
yesterday, where the women were casting
their first vote and their vote brought
about the recall Of the mayor, who was
shown not fit for the office? That shows
what you may expect from the Woman's
vote. They are not all angels, it is true,
but it is also true that majority Of our
women may be counted on TO vote for the
1 right"
In his predatory talk DR.. AyleswOrth
paid tribute to the four great Americans
whose birthdays occur In this month:
Washington, the founder" Lincoln,
master ruler of men, because he ruled
/ by love-" Frances Willard, the great
mother soul" and Susan b. Anthony. "a
mighty prophet"
Mrs Charles I. ,Vollmer. president OF the
