George A. Smith, owner Of the Chan
der Tribune, also secretary of the
state school land department and an
important factor in the present state
administration, contributes the follow
ing editorial to his paper:
"The election has resulted in maxi
ing thousands or converts to woman's
suffrage, particularly in the Demo
cratic party. No one doubts but what
the day was saved for President Will
son by the women who voted in the
western states and their action has
entirely disproved the theory that the
bestowing of suffrage upon them would
merely result in an increased number
Of votes and no change in results. The
women in this election have proved
that they were not only capable Of
casting ballot according to the die
tates Of their own conscience, but that
they exert an influence on others

WOMAN SUFFRAGE GAINS FAVOR

| So far as political interest is con.
! cerned, the outstanding after-effeet Of
the election is the sudden turn of sen.
timent In Oklahoma toward woman
suffrage. As soon as. figures were
made public on the national contest,
Indicating that the election of Wilson
hinged upon states in which the wo-
men are voters, the sentiment became
prevalent that the women were actu-
ally responsible for the reelection Of
the president Naturally in Oklahoma
sentiment quickly crystalized into a
well defined demand for recognition
of the women OF the state by reviving
the proposition for their complete en-
franchisement. The fact that Sena-
tor Owen ever since the days Of the
constitutional convention, has been a
consistent supporter Of the universal
suffrage idea. was Immediately EN-
phasized by several papers Of the
state.
Among men prominent in state af-
fairs who have been won over to ac-
tive advocacy Of woman suffrage by
the trend OF recent political events
is State Superintendent OF Public
Schools r. H, Wilson who makes for
NAL statement through the press in
which he says:
Personally, have never been en-
thusiastic for woman suffrage. have
been more or less Of the opinion that
woman suffrage would add to the vol
ume Of the votes, with possibly no
change in the final results, but the re.
suit in the campaign for president
which has just closed convinces me
that the women have saved the coun-
try Let Oklahoma extend to
her women the power of the ballot as
has been done in other progressive
states Women have been voting for
a number of years on school questions
and as result, the schools have been
greatly improved i favor

women be granted equal suffrage with
men on all subjects submitted to
popular vote and that this amendment
