The W una ms Vote in Chicago.

In the election of municipal Of
ficers which Chicago held last week
the newly enfranchised women had
their first opportunity to cast their
ballots.
In the campaigning weeks that
preceded the election $4,000 women
registered, thus making their title
to suffrage clear and incontestible.
Political clubs in the different wards
were formed. candidates were Sc
lected and most careful course oil
instructions in the new art OF voting
was conducted. Enthusiasm ran
high. and the men were in "a state
of doubt and expectancy that was
harassing to nerves. Those $4,000
women's ballots made new and a
perplexing element in the usually cut
and-dried business OF the "bosses."
Election day came. and the uneX-
pected happened only $1,000 of the
17S,00O registered women went 10 the
polls, about one-iourth OF the ex-
pec.ed outpouring.
Nor did the wonder cease here, for,
in spite OF the preparation and in
struction as to dhe manner and method
of voting 20 per cent of the ballots
cast by the women were thrown out
as worthless because OF improper
marking. Some of the women had
signed their names to the ballots,
thus making sure that the vote went
for such and such candidates; others
had gone further adj written COM
ments as to the personal worth or
unworth OF the applicants for office.
After all of these had been elimin-
ated there were only 1000 feminist
voters to be counted in the actual
returns; which was a most decided
downward revision OF what political
bosses hail looked upon as a "bete
noire," if not a positive menace.
Now political economists, as well
as ward politicians, are hunting an
explanation OF the sudden slough of
interest between the registration and
the election. Was 1t fminine caprice
that caused so many women to stay
away from the polls; was il a gen.
uine loss of interest. or was pressure
brought to bear from some mherald-
cd quarter? That something came
over the spirit of their dreams is
not to be gainsaid. for they besan
the campaign with hot-footed in
terest. and dropped lamely out of
the race when it was but half run.
Some of the defeated women can
didates are limiting at inducements
TO remain at home" but the suggos-
ton is too vague to be really ex-
and the problem remains
the same. 1t will be remembe.ii that
in California the woman's vote fell
Tar under previous calculations, and
although the difference between ex-
pectation and actual fact was not 30
marked as In Chicago. the cases are
IN a way parallel. On broad lines
he explanation of the defalcation of
interest may be the same, so that
t is interesting to understand it.
If the explanation lies In the oft
