1916 is seen in the fact that 314,292 persons
had registered for the primaries last June,
whereas the total registration of 1916 was
only 3o2,697. The interest shown in politics
by the male voters is no greater this year
than in 1916. Ten of thirty-five counties
show Al per cent. women's vote with them
forming only 80 per cent. of the population

One-third of Voters Women in Idaho.
Women have been voting in Idaho for
twenty years, but no record has ever been
kept of the woman vote as distinguished
from the whole vote. 1t Is the judgment
of the best informed men and women In the
STATE that the woman vote constitutes
third of the total. This ratio is expected to
hold good this year as in the past There
is nothing to indicate a larger percentage
thirty seven counties reported 20,421 men
and 1889 women This percentage of women
IS, is little short of the proper proper
ton In State where 3S per cent of the
citizenship Is made up of women.
In 1916 the total vote in Idaho for Presi
dent was 134,488. and 1t is estimated that
$4,000 of this total were cast by women.
This year total vote of 100000 is ex-
pected with total woman vote of $4,000.
Women have always held county and city
offices in Idaho and quite often State offices
and membership in the Legislature.
While political managers in other States
are scratching their heads in an effort to
find out how women are going to vote at

Oregon Women Republicans.
OF a total registration of 302. 697 persons
in Oregon in 1916sthere were 75S40 women
registered as Republicans and 1881 as
Democrats. OF registration of 314,292 per-
sons for the primary elections of June, 1920
there were 209096 persons registered as
Republicans and 85,405 as Democrats. The
offices of the Secretary of State will not
have the registration by sexes until after
November, 1920 However, the registration
of Multnomah county, Of which Portland is
the county seat, unquestionably gives true
key to the political situation relative to the
women voters.

Passing of the Cane

rAS the war robbed the walking stick
Fl of it's popularity, or is the automobile
i l. responsible for it's demise? Certain
il is that the cane is passing, temporarily at
least. Statistics compiled in the wood using
industries prove It. In 1912 there were sew
eral cane and whip and umbrella handle
manufactures in New York state. This
years survey shows not a single manufac-
turer of walking sticks whips and but
one umbrella handle factory. This in spite
of the fact that until very recently New
York and Massachusetts, supplied 40 per
cent. of the total output of these articles.
Most Of the remainder came from Pennsyl-
venia.
Some attribute the disappearance of the
cane to the scarcity of lumber, and 1t is
confidently predicted that in few years IT
will have recovered It's place in the world Of
fashion The prevalence of steel umbrella
rods and the almost total displacement of
the horse and buggy and the whip by the
automobile probably explain the discourage
ment of the manufacturers of these articles.
The manufacture of canes, whips and UNI
brella handles has consumed every year the
equivalent of 100000 board feet OF lumber.
although much of this material has never
been produced In lumber form. The rarer
types of wood such as the imported varieties
are bought by the piece or the pound. Among
the native woods used beech has supplied
81 per cent. Of the stock and maple and
birch the remainder. All three are used for
whip stocks and umbrella sticks. although
the umbrella handles are frequently made OF
ebony. Imported woods and roots are usf q

men and 9.953 women voted. The vote shows
well over AZ per cent. to have been cast by
women in State where women comprise
only 40 per cent of the population.
There is no way for getting check on
relative strength of male and female voters
in Nevada" says the despatch from Reno.
"Women have voted in this State for the
last four years. and in registering there is
nothing to indicate whether voter is man
or woman The first election in which
women voted showed them about equal to
the men. 1t is probable the same ratio will
be maintained this year. Registration does
not close until October H."
Doubles the Arizona Vote.
Voting for President at the approaching
general election will be no novelty for the
women of Arizona. They first exercised the
right of suffrage in 1914, and have been vot-
ing enthusiastically ever since Extension
of the ballot to women resulted in virtually
doubling the number Of votes cast in Arizona.
In 1912, the total vote cast for Representa-
tive was 23,545. In the Presidential election
in 1916 the total vote cast for the same office
was 52,344. OF course a portion of this in
crease was due to the natural growth in
population.
The total vote cast for Representative in
the year 1912, before Arizona had woman
suffrage and the years 1914, 1916 and 1918

In this table no allowance is made for the
number of aliens in the country, who OF
course, are not allowed to vote. However,
this figure will be inappreciable in the num-
Der of men and women who vote. Based on
the fact that four years ago just about half
of the eligible women voted, with the keen
interest being taken this year it is reason
able to suppose that at least 14,0OO,00o
women will cast ballots on November z
