It is thot that all of these routes
 should be opened up for emergency:
 and all will be used in course of time. as there will be demand for all of them and one route will be available when others are interrupt ed. More than one route should ex- ist between all important points in order to have reliablel communication as is done by the telegraph con- panies.-Valdez Prospector.

out, two of his sons, Florente, Jr., and

Written for the Censor By Mrs Theodora
W. Youmans. President of State Suffrage
Association.)
Milwaukee, October IS, 1919.
Are the women of Wisconsin eligi-
bic to vote for delegates to the nation
al political conventions at the election
next April? This is a question of
great interest not only to women but
more to the active politicians of the
parties. Many persons are assuming
that since women have the right to
vote for president and ce-president
through the presidential electors thew
should naturally have the right to
take part in the election of delegates
to the convention which will nomin-
ate president and vice-president. 9th
ers are of a differnet opinion. The
question of giving women the right
to vote at these elections was consid-
cred at the recent session of the leg
lslature, but no such measure was in
troduced.
An appeal has been made to the
office of the Attorney General, John
J. Blaine, for a ruling on this aues-
ton, and the decision may be expect
ed before the annual convention of
the Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage As
ISOLATION which will be held in Mil
waukee October 20, to November ].
At the last general election, Novem-
Der z, 1916, the total number of votes
cast for president, in Wisconsin, was
447134. The per centage of men in
Wisconsin is larger than that of wo-
men but many unmarried men are
not naturalized. The number of wo-
men eligible to vote in November,
1920, will be nearly as large as the
number of men who did not vote in
the election of 1916. Every effort will
be made not only by those interested
in the good citizenship of women but
also by political parties to pet out
the woman's vote. This vote will be
of so great influence on the election,
and is SO uncertain in its character,
since women as whole are not par
tisan in their ideas, that even polit-
ical wiseacres will find themselves at
sea in making their usual predictions.
