Want "votes for Women"

Want "Votes for Women"
The majority of the women en-
plcyes in the Wisconsin state capital
are in favor of woman suffrage, ac-
cording to a poll taken by the Asso-
ciated Press. Out of 119 women who
voted, 81 said they wanted the ballot
and So said nay. Less than half
dozen refused to cast a ballot for or
against the ballot for their sex.
With brazen abandon few ardent
partisans threw the corrupt practices
act to the winds and electioneered IN
the good old way. For ii anyone
thinks all the women have their minds
made UP on this we'll known public
question the voting knocked this idea
into the proverbial cooked hat. Inde-
cisiveness or Indifference was dis
played by many Of the fair voters
and some needed the insistent urging
of more enthusiastic associates to get
them to vote at all. Others needed no
second invitation and deplOred the
fact they could cast but one ballot
Some hesitated to vote under the de-
fusion that they must sign their
names.
Several young women admitted that
Miss Jane Adams had converted
them to the suffrage cause during her
address in the assembly chamber re-
Gently. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst and
Miss Beatrice Professionalism have
also extolled votes-for-women here
within week.
The poll reached all women en-
ployed regularly in the state house
Offices, including clerks, stenograph-
ers, private secretaries and telephone
operators.
