Demanded Suffrage for All.

Besides asking for the reorganization
of parliament, they demanded full and
complete suffrage for all adults owe.
twenty-five years Of age. Up to that time
even male franchise was greatly restrict
ed-defined chiefly by property clause,
which gave as many as twenty votes to
individual landowners.
The people were very much in earnest
over the matter. much SO that a
unique form of demonstration was car
ried out. 1t is doubtful If similar move
ment ever took place upon a purely polit-
ical question. and up to the present no
one seems able to explain just how 1t all
came about.
Without plan. system. method or ar
rangement, the whole country entered
upon a general strike. The Russian CAPT.
tai was as completely shut OF from Fin
land as though it had been located on
Mars. Every cog and wheel in the indus
trial world came to a stop: trains and
tramcars seemed frozen to the rails. and
all vehicular traffic was suspended. Ho-
tells and business houses shut their doors.

food supplies, were open only two hours

Bells Rang Day and Night.

Drinking shops OF all kinds were closed
for month, church bells pealed and rang
day and night, bands of musicians parad-
ed the streets, and the forbidden flag Of
Finland was floated in full view from nu-
merous heights. Children refused to go
to school and marched in the streets sing
ing patriotic songs, and great mass meet
ings were held in public places at which
the speakers loudly clamored for full
adult sunrage-men and women upon
equal terms. The dawn OF the day of
judgment could not have been more start

After the Finnish parliament had pass
ed the measure-which was carried with
out a single opposition vote-to grant en-
larged franchise to men, and to include
women under the same conditions. a
leading statesman was commissioned to
take the document to Russia for the sig
nature of the czar.
Whatever that rulers opinion NAV

measure. with his empire d!scredited in
warfare before the eyes OF the whole
world, his subjects in a state OF open re-

loyalty Of Finland was not to he despised.

The women of Finland now occupy
unique position among those Of the north
lands. When the franchise was granted
to them 1t meant more than merely the
power to cast a vote for a given candi-

Most extraordinary political conditions

en-, although without the vote. had work
ed shoulder to shoulder with the men in
every effort made to sustain the degree
of liberty and freedom which they en-
ioyed when Finland became a possession
of the Russian crown
As time passed Finland was robbed Of
the constitution guaranteed in the writ

STA became involved in the disastrous
war with Japan, and still later the en-
pire passed into a state OF revolution.
Taking advantage of the situation, the
Firms demanded the restoration of their

Have Choice Of Parties.

The wonderful advantage these woman
citizens have over those who have the
vote in other parts of the world may be
noted. Here there arc four parties from
which woman may select her candidate.
This gives her a chance to vote for men
and me assures instead OF being bound to
party. In countries Ike Australia. for
instance. where there are but ;wo parties
women have no choice OF men. They
must either support their party and an
Objectionable candidate or vote to support
policy with which they have no SYM
pathy. This disadvantage TO the Aus.ra-
liam woman voters should always he

the results of the use of the vote by

Women Sit in Parliament.

Before the restoration OF the constitu-
four sections. representing the clergy. the
peasantry, the towns and cities and the
nobility. Not one of these raised voice
against the proposition to enfranchise
women. Now all the members are elect
ed by popular vote. There is but one
chamber, composed Of two hundred mem
hers. Women arc eligible to seats. The
largest number Of woman representatives
at any one time reached twenty-five.
At the opening of the Finnish parIia-
ment nothing unusual was seen in the
presence of the women among the law
makers. In fact, they were not by any
means an outstanding feature of the
gathering. In no way could they have
