knows that under the law he has no

Walker, or any committee that he
may appoint of bankers and building

Importance is growing and that this

come here for purely commercial rea-

means that the trade of the port is

IS not much of agreement.
"Failure?' Not on your life.
Success" is the word that is fairly
hurled at Senator Works.
Uplift is manifested on every side
through feminine voters. according to
opinions gained.
Woman's suffrage has proved a
greater success in California than in
any other suffrage state" said one
man. Here there has been no de-
generation into dirty politics"
Some of the opinions obtained are
given herewith:
Mrs. l.. A. Hayward, member of the
playground commission think
Senator Works is entirely mistaken.
He doesn't understand the situation
at all, am sure. He says that
women do not seize the opportunity
women any more neglectfu1 in such
matters than that the men? Many
of the latter never think of going
to the polls.
Mrs. C. Mason Kinne, past president
of the California club don't think
suffrage shows one way or the other
in California. Every day new proof
is given me that if the question had
been put to the popular vote and
women could have had a voice in
deciding 1t, the granting of equal
suffrage would have been defeated
in California. Just see how few
women have registered in proper
tion to the population. Women at
large are not interested in suffrage.
They have thousand and one other
things that mean more to them.
There are few of us who feel 1t
duty. who must vote. | ddn't
want the measure passed, but now
that 1t is a law l have registered,
and vote because / feel l ought to
do so. In a way. Senator Works is
right. 1t is hardly failure. If it
hasn't done much good. ] can't see
that 1t has done much harm.
Mrs. James c. Crawford of the Cali
fornia club do not think there
has been time enough to prove suf-
frage one way or the other. 1t is
only natural that women should
halt and make mistakes in these
