made me more than ever an enthusiastic be-
lever in votes for women"
Emmett D. Boyle, Governor of Nevada,
has this 10 say:
The women Of Nevada were enfran-
chised only last November, and there
have been no statewide elections since that
time. 1t is impossible, therefore, for me to an
swer your questions categorically. I will say,
however, that Nevada women appear to be TAX
ing an active and intelligent interest in politics.
and believe that they will give good ac
count here, as they have done in other Western
states which have enjoyed suffrage for years.
Personally, consider most Of the arguments
against woman suffrage to be silly and unwar-
ranted by the experience Of those communities
which have tried the experiment Of permitting
their women to vote, none Of which, / am sure,
would return TO the old order of things were
the opportunity given them
Governor S. v. Stewart, of Montana:
Cannot answer yet for achievements in his
state since women have voted at no important
election. He does say, however, The women
OF Montana are exhibiting the keenest interest
in the matter of suffrage and everything shows
that the result will be beneficial.

John B. Kendfck, Governor Of Wyo-
ming:
/. Most decidedly the consensus Of opinion
is that women have not neglected their homes
in order to exercise their right to vote.
g. The influence OF womens votes has
not been deleterious in any way to the social
fabric.
g. We find that women OF all classes
taken an interest in public affairs ard have
great deal of influence.
T. Personally l am of the opinion that
the woman vote could be handled just as read
lily in the crowded centres as the mems vote
S. The expression of womans citizen
ship has very largely taken the best form
adapted to her own qualihcations-that is, in
matters regarding health, the welfare of the
child and home. 1t would seem to me that
service on jures or willingness to perform
military service was not requisite tor full
understanding or exercise Of the ballot on the
part of woman
g. Not in the slightest.
T. Women in Wyoming are in posses
sion to-day OF all the exemptions and privi-
leges given to men and have not been deprived
of any by reason of the vote
g. ! am quite certain that the oppor
tunity to vote has quickened very materially
tho interest our women take in public ques-
lions and in all matters beneficial to the COM
munities in which they reside.
Albert R. Barnes, Attorney General of
the State of Utah:
1T has been my observation that only the
more serious minded and the more intelligent
women take any active part in politics. |
have yet to hear the criticism that the activi-
ties of women in the political world have in
any way been deeterious TO the social fabric
or resulted in the neglect of the home. 1t has
been my observation in attendance upon po-
litical meetings that women are keenly inter
ested in becoming familiar with the problems
presented and with tho personnel OF the re-
spective tickets. Il has been my observa-
ton. too that The undesirable women, such
as you have mentioned, are not, generally
speaking, active in political matters. You do
not meet them at The primaries or the polls,
and they seem to have little OF no Unfit .nce
in elections We have had during the last
three or four years in our Legislature num-

William A. Johnston, Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court Of Kansas:
I. can say without hesitation there is
no foundation for such an assertion.
z. No one acquainted with the situation
in Kansas will undertake to say that the iniu-
ence of women's vote has been deeterious TO
the government OF -. people Of the state.
My own judgment, based on our experience
in Kansas, is that equal suffrage will tend TO
better government, whether it be in crowded
cities or in country districts. There is more
activity and interest amen women in favor OF
measures of health. for the protection Of chill
dren or care OF widows ard those least able to
care for themselves, but the privilege of voting

George A. Carlson, Governor of Colo


radoi
One of Colorados biggest assets is her vot-
ing public, which consists Of intelligent wom-
en- as we'll as men. The public, like the indi-
vidual, is not infalible, but the voters can
point to advanced legislation along every HUI
name line. In all reforms the women have
taken an active part and important movements
have often had their inception in gatherings
OF public spirited women.
Governor Withycombe of Oregon:
/. There is no intelligent opinion here that
women have neglected their homes in order TO
vote.
g. do not believe, nor have heard that
the influence OF women's votes has in any way
been deleterious to the best interests OF the
commonwealth.
g. / firmly believe that it is the best women
who are most interested in exercising their
ballots.
a. know of no reason Judging from our
experience, why equal suffrage should not be
as successful in the East it is in the West

Arthur Capper, Governor of Kansas:

I. The extension of suffrage TO Kansas
women has not caused them to neglect their

Woman's Vote Not Deleterious to Social
Fabric, Says Gov. Kendrick of Wyoming.

women we have had legislation proposed and
passed which has had most beneficial etect
in social welfare work.
Moses E. Lewis, Lieutenant Governor
and President of the Senate of the State
of Colorado:
/ do not believe that women have neglected
their homes to any extent in order to vote;
many of the best women in the state take
great deal of interest and an active part in
public affairs while those you refer to as un-
desirable women take an active part only wnen
certain issues are at stake. Equal suffrage is
not a menace nor detriment to good and
sound government in any community.
Judge F. H. Norcross, Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of Nevada:
Without repeating the questions will an
swer the same by number as follows:
/. No. Women thus far have voted only
in municipal elections in three ef the cities Of
the state l have heard no complaint that
there was any neglect Of their homes by the
women voters on the occasion OF these cleo
tons, although the vote of the women was
very large.
g. No.
g. In the municipal elections thus far held
in this state the best women In the state voted
From my observation the best women through
out the state take a. much interest in public
affairs as the men do and are able to vote -
ntelligently. For years before suffrage was
granted in this. state as many women attended
meetings where public questions were de
cussed as men.
4. We have not large cities in this state,
and hence I cannot answer the question from
personal experience Of observation. The
largest cities on the Pacific Coast generally
have not had the experience suggested.
S. The so-called argument that woman
should be denied the ballot because she can
not perform the same civic duties as men Il
fallscious. Full citizenship does not neces-
sarily imply jury or military service. As to
Jury service, many Of the most intelligent
male citizens are excluded by statute; besides,
there are reasons to believe that certain kinds
OF jury service could be performed by women
better than by men. AS to military service,
those in active military service are about the
only large body OF male citizens that are prac
tically excluded from the ballot. large per-
centsge Of the male population is unfit and is
excluded from military service.

4. The last observation is particularly
true in our larger cities. where the women
have been most active.
S. Sc far as I have observed. our women
are exercising the full responsibility of citi-
zenshp within their physical capabilities.
g. The effect Of equal suffrage has not
been to impose upon women any added bur-
den of equal responsibility for the support Of
the family, as under our laws the wife shared
that burden with the husband prior to the
adoption of woman suffrage.

The merging of the Buffalo CONNER

TO MAKE ARMY ATTRACTIVE.
Plans Under Way for Base Ball
Games at Recruiting Stations,

1t is proposed to form leagues among
the various army recruiting stations
to promote interest in base ball. In
Chicago President Weeghman Of the
Federal League club has given per-
mission for the soldiers to use his park
to play their games. 1t is expected
that the clubs in the other leagues will
make similar offers.
In accepting President Weeghman's
offer. Secretary Garrison wrote: 1T is
the aim of the military authorities to
make the army as attractive to young
men as is possible to make 1t consist
ent with the purpose for which they
enter the service of the United States.
With this end in view athletics are al
ways encouraged and base ball is one
of the most popular of athletic sports
throughout the army.
Furthermore, 1 am keenly interested
in securing good, clean men for the
army and feel satisfied that there is no
better field for securing such men than
among base ball players"
