hat store voted in the affirmative. to
the satisfaction Of the blonde cashier.
Reasons OF the Opponents.
Some tenants opposed woman suf-
frage for the following reasons:
Because IL would drag down the
ideals Of American womanhood.
Because the majority would not be
able TO vote irtelligently.
Because women OF certain religious
beliefs would vote exactly as the head
OF their church dictated. whereas men
Of the same belief would not.
Because woman's place was in the
home.
Because the women Of the East Side
and other districts where congestion OF
residents was the order and education
scant would vote en- masse at the die
tation Of the district leaders, as men in
those neighborhoods DO at present.
Because If they voted they would be
entitled to hold political office.
Because the great majority of women
did not want the ballot.
In the local Offices of the State Con-
troller, the entire thirty-irst floor and
part Of the twenty-sixth floor in the
building, the majority was against
woman suffrage. OF forty nine en-
ployes five would not signify their in
tentions. thirty-three voted mo and
eleven "Yes."
EFF the women vote they will have
our jobs in year" said one occupant
of a room in which eleven men were
employed us stenographers. There are
many girls employed by the depart
ment. but with few exceptions they
showed little interest in the vote which
was being taken.

learn the final results Of poll of more
than eight hundred men the greatest
interest was shown. The men were
allowed plenty Of time to judge whether
or no, they believed women should
have the vote. Those who didn't care
TO vote the first day because they were
undecided were given another day 70
vote for or against. Al the end Of the
second day there were still few who
were undecided and they were asked TO

Two Leaders for Suffrage.

OF the nine that favored woman suf-
frage two were Democratic district
leaders and one was a delegate to the
State Constitutional Convention which
framed the amendment providing for
suffrage.
One voter in an Office where there
were twelve electors told of a poll
which was taken in his home, which
showed four in the affirmative and one
in the negative Regarding this he
said: 81 am not positive, however, that
by the time election comes around
will mark my ballot For"
A poll of the Broadway Trust Com
pany, on the second floor, resulted in
ten of the clerks declaring themselves
in favor and four opposed. Only one
had not made up his mind. OF the
officers two favored il and three were
opposed. The negro doorman said he
thought women ought 10 vote and that
his wife wanted to. but he did not care
to commit himself.
Another negro was perfectly neu-
trail on the subject" but he conided:
"To tell you the truth, it is beyond my
comprehension why the women should
have the vote"

would vote for the woman suffrage

Governor Whitman, who is also favor

stated.
The influence of the women in the

is still considering the matter and
has not told me yet what her views
are" Others made similar statements.
Some men felt that woman suffrage
was bound TO come; they pointed to
its growth in the West, and were re-
signed 20 il. Their attitude was to
let them have il now and get IT over
with. Others were frank in their ad-
miration Of the fight the women IN this
and neighboring states had made for
the ballot. The tenacity and txedness
of purpose, as well as the manner
in which they had conducted their
campaigns, convinced them, the men
said, that they could make as good a
job of voting as could the majority
Of men.
Women stenographers employed IN
many Of the Offices were enthusiast
cally in favor of suffrage. The Trlb-
une's canvass was welcomed by them,
for in many instances they were IN

their attitude. and they learned some
