suffrage to women and full suffrage
has been granted the women by the
Isle Of Man, New Zealand, South Aus

suffrage was granted the women OF
Federated Australia and New South

In 1903 Tasmania gave full state

How They Vote.
In the states which have equal suf-
frage, the women's organizations cent
a series of questions to the mayors of
each city and 140 of the mayors an
swered the queries. In all cases
those mayors were unanimous In say
ing that equal suffrage had shown
good results; that women vote at
least as generally as men. according
to registration; that they oppose cor
ruption in politics; that they have not
been mixed in corruption or bribery.
and that there has been less OF this
since women had the right to vote;
that on the whole better men have
been elected to ONCE; that women
have shown an Intelligent interest In
state and municipal affairs and are
ready to rally to the support of good
measures; that the percentage of
vicious women who vote is small; and
most of the mayors recommend equal
suffrage to all other cities and states.
From this same series of letters or
reports from the 14O mayors, 1t APP
pears that in Idaho As per cent Of the
women voted in Boise City, 40 per
cent voted in Emmett, 80 per cent vot-
ed In Pierce and two-thirds of the
women voted in Troy.
In Utah the reports show that 75
per cent Of the women voted In Bear
River, IS per cent voted in Garden
City, 95 per cent voted in Grouse
Creek, 80 per cent voted in Keysville.

<, In ten years Of equal suffrage in
Colorado only one woman has been
convicted OF illegal voting. Relative
to the intelligence Of women az voters
the equal suffrage organizations point
out that the 1907 report Of the Ma
tional Educational commission says
64,1sS girls were graduated from tie
public high schools a. compared %
s&202 boyB from the same SCHOOLS.
and there were 1854 more xirI1

Denver, Colo. in the election of 1909,
no less than 10000 women voted and
only about 500 OF that number were
classified as vicious women. In other
words, in that Denver election 43 per
cent of the vote was cast by women
and only 40 per cent of the vote was
cast by males.
Both houses of the National Parlia-
ment of Federated Australia for the
session Of 1909-10 passed resolution
saying that after Sc years of woman's
suffrage in varying parts Of the coun-
try and nine years as a common
wealth, the reform has justified the
hopes of its supporters.
Relative to the percentage of wom-
en- voting in the states where they
have that right, the woman's suf-
frage organizations point out that
men do not exercise their right to vote
as they should, and that, therefore.
the question as to women doing so Is
not very material.
They point out that In the presiden-
tial election of 1904, the vote cast was
only 13,961,560, while $1,000, 900 men
were eligible to vote. Then again. they
say that in the city election in Phila-
delphia, in 1903, the Reform party re-
ports that 40 per cent Of the men fail
ed to vote, and that in the same year
in the election in New York city 10000
registered voters failed to cast their
ballots.
Their Choice Of Political OfSsces.
In the states where full suffrage
has been granted to women for some
time experience has shown that WON
en- do not to any great extent run for
political ONCE. Going through the
records of those states It will appear
that. for the most part. women have
been candidates for educational posi-
lions and for the ONCE Of county or
state treasurer. Those are the two
classes Of ofices which they seem to
have singled out a. being most desir-
able from their standpoint. ana I'd

On October IL last California joined
the states granting equal suffrage to
women. the vote on that occasion be-
ing 119.0S6 for and 117,40S against the
measure, or majority Of 1878 for
equal suffrage, with some minor towns
to hear from. California had rejected
the proposition In 1896, Oregon and
several Of the other western states
have several times rejected the
amendment, and Massachusetts in
1896 voted on the question and refused
equal suffrage, the vote in this state at
that time being: Yes, 10000; No,
1880. or 1885 majority against
equal suffrage. Since then the ques-
ton has not been brought to the ref
erendum in this commonwealth.
In the western states the question

Kentucky Pointed the Way.
Kentucky was the first state in this
country to give women the right to
vote. In 1888 that state gave the
school suffrage to widows with chil-
dren Of school age, and in 1861 Kansas
gave the school suffrage to all women.
Year by year from then on the move
ment for woman's suffrage gained
strength throughout the country, but
It was always granted in modified
form as the right to vote on school
matters, local tax questions, municipal
suffrage. etc. In 1869 wyoming gave
the full suffrage to women, being the
nrst state In the country to do so.
School suffrage was granted to the
women Of New Hampshire in 1878, by
Massachusetts In 1879. by Connecticut
IN 1893 and Vermont in 1880. In add
tion to the elk mates In this country
which have given the full suffrage to
women there, are many countries

but there are no statistics available 70
show the number who have done sucn

Laws Women Have Helped to Make.
The male mind naturally inquiries as
to what laws the women In the equal
suffrage states have been responsible
for? For this question the women's
suffrage organizations have evidently
primed themselves. Here are some OF
the laws adopted in the equal suffrage
states since women had the right TO
vote, which they maintain have been
championed by women, and that wom-
en- are practically responsible.
Colorado gave equal suffrage IN
1898, and since that time the women
claim responsibility for securing the
passage of laws forbidding the insur-
ance of children under ten years old;
establishing state home for depen-
dent children, with two of the fve
members of its trustees to be women;
statute requiring three out OF the SIX
county visitors to be women; estap-
fishing a state Industrial home for
girls, three of the FIVE trustees to be
women; statute making women equal
guardians of their children; statute
raising the age of protection for girls
to Is years; requiring one woman on
the board Of the State Insane asylum;
establishing parental or truant schools,
providing for the care Of the feeble
minded; providing for tree preserva-
ton; requiring public school teachers
to teach humanity to animals; making
the Humane society a state bureau OF
child and animal protection; establish
ment Of Juvenile courts: compulsory
education; establishing state travelling
libraries, commission of Ave women;
against the employment Of child labor
in mines; providing accident and for
eign life insurance companies that
have to be sued be made to pay the
costs; restricting hours of labor for
children, and for women; free en-
ployment bureaus; making It misde-
meanor to neglect to support aged or
infirm parents; abolishing system
binding out girls of the Industrial
school; and in Denver other beneficial
legislation has been secured by them.
Work Of Women In Idaho.
Idaho gave equal suffrage in 1895.
Since then women claim to have been
instrumental in securing these laws.
Making gambling illegal; raising the
age of protection for girls to IS
years; establishment OF Libraries and
reading rooms; requiring per cent Of
the school funds to be expended for
school libraries, the books to be chos-
en- by the State Board Of Education;

States in 1912. Those wom-
en- are to be found in the six western
states which have already granted
equal suffrage. the number of women
in each state who are eligible to vote
being about as follows: California.
100000; Colorado, 100000; Idaho. 49,
900; Utah, $4,000; Washington, 12O.-
900. and Wyoming, $4,000, or total
Of $4,000.
Those figures are not exact, but
constitute the best possible estimate
until such time as the census bureau
gets out it's figures showing the analy-
sis Of the population by states. 1t is
possible that before the election In
1912 more states may give the women
chance to vote for the presidential
candidates, as the equal suffrage cam
paigners have such states as Nevada,
Oregon, Kansas and Wisconsin marked
as trembling in the balance on the
suffrage question.
There are in the United States to-
day Just 10 states which have no form
Of suffrage for women, although some
cities in them have. Those states are

case involving the mysterious disappear
ance Of Postmaster r. l.. Ashhurst, of
Philadelphia, here. Fred Nelson, who
asked for information as a member of
the Secret Service, started to trace the
fate Of the missing postmaster, but ad-
mitted tonight that he was unable to
solve the mystery.
Nelson refused to make known the con-
tents of personal kilograms sent to and
by Postmaster Ashhurst for several days
before his disappearance. but admitted
the belief that the missing man may be
still alive and in retirement for reasons
of his own. The officer declared that his
investigation SO far had showed no in
dications that Postmaster Ashhurst had
women friends, or that his possible Sc
cret departure from this city may have
been caused by anything but temporary
alteration Of mind or worry.
