The figures given by Secretary Black
relative to the votes of women at the
recent primaries seems to do away with
that old idea so often heard that women
would not vote if they had the oppor-
tunity. There were 11O,6S7 names on
the check list and of this number, SO,
992 were men while 26,695 were women
who had their names placed on the list
after the 10Th amendment. The total
vote cast in the primary was 63,SS5 as
against 35,071 in 1913 which indicates
that much larger proportion of eligible
women voted than men.
