Maine has refused her women the right
Of suffrage. Perhaps, when the war >
ended, and the great work which the WON
en- of the country are doing, in sustaining
Industrial work by filling the places lett
vacant by the draft, and also in aiding
and promoting the great work OF the Red
Cross, which now numbers millions Of
women among it, members. the question of
the vote for women may be looked upcn
more favorably in those states which -
far have continued To withhold that privil-
eye from their women. In every country
that j. engaged in the great World War the
notable work of the women, who now
form the great industrial armies of those
countries is winning for htme a new and
deeper consideration from men than they
ever before commanded.
