VOICE OF WOMEN

singular demonstration of the
claim that women would exercise a
helpful moral influence in politics IL
they were vested with power to vote
has just been staged in the state of
New York.
Four candidates contested for the
nomination for mayor of New York
on the republican ticket. F. H. La
Guardia was backed by the republic
can machine of the Barnes raction.
Judge Reuben L. Haskell declared
himself as a wet candidate. William
M Bennett ran because of perpet-
ual desire TO hold some kind Of of
flee. H. H. Curran stood for civic
righteousness and efficient govern
ment. He belongs to the Roosevelt
type of executives. He proposes If
elected to give New York a clean ad-
ministration. He does not stand for
the political machine method of gov
ernment.
Curran was nominated and it is
conceded that 1t was the women vot-
ers who put him over.
1t is true, generally speaking, that
there is little noticeable difference
in results before and after women
are enfranchised. But there are ex-
captions and this is one of them.
And where there is an exception to
the rule it is usually of this char
acter.
Most women vote as do their hus-
bands. But there is in the country
a very considerable number OF wom-
en- who are Independent and unmar-
ried. The ranks of teachers, clerks,
stenographers, doctors, lawyers and
other professions have been invaded
by women in large numbers. This is
especially true in the teaching pro-
fession. The women are not hide
bound partisans. They are more In
fluenced by men than they are by
partisan slogans. Doubtless it was
this independent class of women
voters who stood for Curran as
against a machine candidate, per-
ennial officeseeker and man who
thought to get himself elected as a
wet, in the face of the fact that pro-
hibition of alcoholic liquors as bev-
erage is a part of the federal consti-
tuition OF this country.
AS time passes we believe the
fears of people who thought grant
ing votes to women would spell dis
aster TO the country will prove ut
terly groundless. So far. wherever
difference in results is noticeable
since the right of women to vote has
been recognized the evidence sup
ports the contention of suffragists
and disproves the theories of their
opponents.
