week. About seven hundred women nau
registered and comparing their vote OF
the last election, which was 100, with
the one Monday, which was 1909, would
indicate that about six hundred OF the
women registered must have used the
suffrage granted them. The first woman
to cast her ballot In town was Mrs. Clara
Ames Hayden, who celebrated her 91st
birthday In January, and is the Oldest
native born person in Norway. Mrs. Han
nah Billings ia the oldest person in town,
being 93 years Of age, but Is q native OF
Oxford. She was one OF the voters Mon
day. Norway this year, as we'll as two
years ago, had the Democratic nominee
for governor, Hon. B. G.. McIntire. he
was not elected, but can have the salts
faction of knowing his pleasing and up
right personality among his neighbors
gave him 1923 votes over bis opponent In
Republican town; and that be also was
ahead of his ticket in the neighboriug
Town OF Paris by 80 votes. his vote this
wear In Norway was 718. Two years ago
it was 407, so It seems he must have
gained 300 Of the female vote, which
would indicate aside from personality,
that the women of Norway were about
equally divided between the Republican
and Democratic parties.
