Women VOTING in China

DO you want to go up there and
vote in all that smoke and tobacco
chewing? It's no fit place for a
woman" This was the favcrite re-
mark made to every woman in China
during the last few months. Equal
suffrage was right, there was no de-
nying that, but did we really want
to expose ourselves to the unpleas-
ant condition of voting!
To those of us unaccustomed to
the use of tobacco in our homes the
polls, as described to us, did not look
alluring, but to the great mass of
women, long trained to submit to
what can never be pleasing to them.
little more smoke and a little more
chewing were not insuperable stumb-
ling blocks.
In all of the rain and the wind. a
little fearful of our reception. and
distinctly aWed by the seriousness of
voting. we presented ourselves al
most to woman at the Town hall.
where we were graciously received
by our toWnsmen, who seemed to
take pleasure in instructing us in the
lntrlcacIeS OF the ballot, conScien-
tiously refraining from trying to in
fluence us.
But where was the smoke, where
the tobacco juice, where the rude
ness that had been reported to US an
inseparable part of voting. All alb
sent. Noticeable by their absence.
We found instead a hall well swept
and in order, jars of flowers taste
fully arranged, giving a CHEEKY and
festive air to the scene, and permeat-
ing all an atmosphere of business.
Truly the American man is a
prince among men, never failing in
his loyalty to woman. and the Amer.
lean woman is blessed above all 9TH
ers in being associated with such
men.

CHINA

One hundred and sixty-three women
braved the pouring rain and the deep
mud Monday, coming from four to
seven miles to the polls in China to
cast their first ballot. A fresh new
booth was in evidence for the women
and bouquets of flowers with the
American flag welcomed them to their
new honors and duties. The first
woman to cast her vote was Mrs.
Miriam Weber of South China, who
was IS years old on July 20. Mrs.
Weber lis the mother of Mrs. Mary

Maine by Sixty Thousand.

In the State of Maine the Republi-
can election catch for 1920 is a whale
"a school of whales.
Measured by the September results
of the past decade and more a fifteen
thousand plurality, even with women
voting this year, would have been big
enough to be startling. Twenty thou
sand would have been huge, twenty
five thousand gigantic. Sixty thou
sand is colossal and terrific. =
Discounting their assured defeat
In the test election of yesterday the
Democrats in recent days have been
declaring that it has not always been
a fact that las Maine goes so goes
the country" AS a bald statement
this is true. Aside and apart from the
three cornered Wilson Roosevelt it
struggle in 1912 the Republicans, as
we have seen, did carry Maine for
Governor by more than $4,000 in
September and did carry the State
again for Hughes by more than 5000
in November. yet they lost the ma
tional election by the narrow margin
of California.
Yet it always has been true that a
great Maine State sweep in September
gives unfailingly a nation sweep in
November. And this Maine victory
of yesterday-this 60,000-is more
than sweep. 1t is more than a land.

BY all signs that are to be read

The Men Behaving Pretty Well,

In another column a lady of a Ken
nebec town expresses her apprecia-
ton of the helpful way in which the
men of her town met the efforts OF
the women to perform their duties a,
the polls.
And this is what the Republican
town committee of Minot has to say
in the Lewiston Journal:
