WOMEN ARE HELP in
FINLAND POLITICS

Having thus such an excellent
foundation to build upon, it is small
wonder that the woman's movement
soon found many active supporters
In 1868 the diet had accorded the mu.
nicipal vote to woman taxpayers living
in the country, and in 1872 to women
living in the towns, all of whom were
also given the right to be elected
members Of certain local self-govern.
ing bodies. In 1900 the woman social
democrats included tile suffrage m
their program, but the special activity
for the suffrage began only in the year
1904, although in 1897 a petition had
been officially presented to the diet At
the request of the Finnish Womans
association.
"The reason why so little was done
in direct furtherance of the cause Of
woman suffrage between the years
1897 and 1904 is that just at that time
Finland was passing through severe
political crisis.

and represented itself at different

The first message from the "X

recting that none of the stations an

alert at fixed hours to receive mes
sages. The effect was to convince the
Germans that large number of wire

advise them of the hours when the en-
envy intercepting stations should be
on the alert for the American mes

"From an educational point Of view

The major went on to say that one
