The Detroit times., 1911-04-13

While several state legislatures
have recently denied women to SUI
frage, the women who already have
II have been unusually active the last
few weeks in seeking TO demonstrate
their capacity and fitness for politfcai
equality by taking active part In pri-
maries, conventions and campaign
work and as candidates. Where they
have been unable TO nominate one OF
their own sex they have usually com
bined on a male candidate favorable
to their views, and have almost In
yariably been successful at the polls.
The results show that they have
made effective use of the ballot In OPP
posing partisanship, socialism and
sumptuary laws.
In wichita, Kan, they overthrow
Socialism completely, and in Milwau-
kee gave 1t decided check by elect
ing a non-partisan school and judicial
ticket
In Colorado Springs, Colo, which
for a quarter of a century has been
a no-license city, although 1t is sum-
mer resort with large transient pop
ulation, they voted TO allow LIQUOR
selling in hotels and recognized clubs
and made majority for this propo-
sition.
In every case where public improve
ments were an Issue the women
voted In favor of them, as In Tarry-
town, N Y, in March, when they
voted an issue of $4,000 in bonds for
water works and better fire protec-
ton.
Where local issues were deemed OF
greater Importance than the candi-
dates, the returns show that the wom-
ems votes were cast almost solidly for
or against the proposition.
Their activity as political workers
on election day is shown by one incl
dent In West Orange, N. j., where
they got out 1900 votes out Of total
registration of $500. In addition,
they brought the veteran inventor,
Thomas A. Edison, to the polls to
cast his vote for their ticket
Perhaps the greatest surprise that
women voters gave the public In the

Man I'm his own essence and being is
