WOMAN IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Significance Of Her Participation Both
in Suffrage and Non.Suffrage States.

TIC II EDITOR OF THE SrH-Sir: There
seems to be some surprise that women
in this election have not determined the
election and have voted just as men
have voted. Pray. how else could they
vote? They had the same candidates
TO select from and there was nothing
else for them to 40.
The Significance OF wornen's part In
this campaign lies in the fact that in
the issues that have been presented they
have had a keen interest, and whether
voters or %non-voters. suffragists or anti
%suffraglsts. they have cast aside all per-
sonal prejudices and have given loyal,
Intelligent and disinterested service To-
the political party with which they were
affiliated. The contribution made by
women in this campaign has been recog
nized in suffrage and non-suffrage States
alike and has rendered tho position OF
the disenfranchised women ridiculous
and intolerable.
Women's part in this campaign will
certainly bring nearer the day when
women shall not only fight with men
for the cause in which they believe hut
shall receive the power ~ the franchise
to complete their efforts.

The Same Event NJ Interpreted by

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrS-Sir: In
all the uncertainty which surrounds the
final outcome OF the Presidential cleo
ton one point stands out clearly. which
is that womaA suffrage, Endorsed by the
two large political parties In their ma
tional platforms merely on the ground
of political cxpediency. did not prove
to be an issue In the campaign.
The Republican leaders who made a
special effort 20 capture the woman
vote must he greatly chsgrined at their
failure TO swing the woman suffrage
states to their candidate. The Repub-
lican candidate for President made the
highest possibie bid for the support %
the women voters through his personal
endorsement o. the Federal amendment
and lost IL.
Illinois. where the women voted for
President for the first time. Is a
normal Republican state which awung
the Republican column. The state
would have gone FOR Mr.. Hughes with
olt the wonan's vote.
Montana. which went for Roosevelt In
1904 and Taft in 1903. gave It's votes
for Wilson in 1912. ana did not swing
back 10 the Republican column through
the oman 3 vote.
Nevada. which voted for EooscveN In
1904, Is usually found IN the Democratic
column and still remains there.
Utah. the great Mormon woman suf-
frase state, is Unexpectedly found In
the Democratic column this year. since
Ii Is usually resarded as a Republican
stronghold

1904 and 1905. turned TO Wilson In 1912

1905 and Progressive in 1912. now

President. Accordingly they provided
IN Article H.. Section =. that:
Each state shall appoint . a
number Of electors equal to the whole
number OF Senator's and Representatives
to which the state may be entitled in

This gave Ia the smaller States

The two additional electors are the
