Prominent English Statesmen
Want Woman Suffrage
For England
WILL ENGLAND ENFRANCHISE HER
WOMEN BEFORE AMERICA DOES?
ADMISSION FROM AN Ex-ANTI
Asquith No Longer Denies Women's
Claim to Governmental Recognition.

In woman's terrible fight for suf
frage in England, between the years
1910 and 1913, there was just one
force that defeated them. That was
the force inoarnate in the will of the
then Prime Minister, Mr.. Asquith.
Parliament was converted, the Cabi-
net was converted, the people were
converted. Mr.. Asquith was not con-
verted. Again and again he fell back
on the argument of the ballot and
the bullet. Only those who could
come to their country's defense in
war time could hope to win the fran
chise under his ruling Then the
war. And now, Mr.. AsQuith again,
proving his claim to greatness by
his fair-minded developments
"lt IS true" says this new convert,
that they cannot fight in the gross
material sense of going out with rifles
and so forth, but they fill our muni-
ton factories, they are doing the
work which the men who are fighting
had to perform before, they have
taken their places, they are the
servants OF the State, and they have
aided In the most effective way in
the prosecution OF the war. What is
more, they say, and this is a point
which makes a special appeal to me-
they say, When the war comes to an
end, and when these abnormal and
to large extent transient, conditions
have to be revised, and when the
process OF industrial reconstruction
has to be set on foot, have not the
women a special claim to be heard
on the many questions which will!
arise directly affecting their interests.
and possibly meaning for them large
displacement OF labor? cannot
think the House will deny that and
say quite frankly, that cannot
deny that claim"

JUDGE ERNEST MOORE
Speaks Jocularly But Good Natured-
" ofthe Campaign For Votes
For Women

If there be any serious ground of
objection. to the extension OF the
right Of suffrage TO women, it must
be found in the suggestion that, so
far as concerns the great ma iority
of the sex, no real desire for the bal
lot exists in the heart of mans ten
der helpmeet. All other doubts
Iscruples and difficulties, conjured up
as pretended reasons for still con
itinuing to withhold from her this
greatest of civil and political rights.
have heretofore been so fully dssl-
pated and exploded that it would
now be a work of supererogation To
engage in any further consideration
OF these sham impediments
Since, therefore the only issue re-
naming for settlement is found in
the question as to whether the
"lovely dears" as a whole honestly,
truly and sincerely desire the ballot.
it would seem to be merely matter
of ascertaining their real wishes in
appear to involve no very arduous la
Dor, there are those who have been
rude enough TO suggest that woman
generally experiences very great diff
fculty in making up her mind upon
any particular subject and that the
determination of the attitude of the
entire body OF women upon the
question here presented is a matter
by no means easy OF solution. Not
withstanding the boorish opinions Of
these masculine scofiers at feminine
lucidity of thought and consistency
of conduct, il is the sincere convic-
ton of many that she will ultimately
be able to determine for herself
whether or not she is really desirous
OF being allowed to cast her ballot
at the polls upon all issues of pub
it concern.
When the day shall come upon
which the majority OF the great sis
terhood of women shall earnestly
and sincerely demand the right to
voice their opinions at the ballot
box, there can be no room for ques-
tion that her wishes viii then be
promptly granted, and it is to be
hoped that mans surrender VIII be
made with cheerful disregard OF
possible consequences. Woman s
claim will become Irresistible just so
