PATIENTLY

The ladies have an equal share in the well known and popular
pastime of voting, but their participation in the rewards of faith
full service in the ranks seems to be rather on the wane than other
wise. While examples If office holding by the women have been
fairly numerous during the period of their emancipation, the time
appears past when the voters can be relied upon to show the GUS
|tomary gallantry toward the fair sex, or is it the votes of the
women themselves that contributes to the defeat of the lady can
+didates :? The time was in Montana and in most other western
states when a woman candidate had clear sailing against a male
candidate, but if we take the results of the recent elections in
many of the states, it is noticeable that most of the strongly touted
candidates of the fair sex made rather a poor showing.
1t is probably doubtful that women will ever grasp the ins
and outs of machine politics, or take the interest in the game that
lis necessary for successful office getting and holding. So far they
are not visibility anxious to serve on central committees or to tackle
the routine duties attributed to the "od guards" of any political
party. The average woman goes to the polls carrying a sense of
performing a dsagreeabe duty, and in most cases is as willing to
shirk that duty as the most lukewarm of male voters.
The Montana electorate sent a woman to congress-once.
Oklahoma did the same, also once. This year Minnesota and Wis
consin both had the opportunity of electing women senators, sem
.atresses, senatorettes, whichever is the proper term, but failed.
In Charlotte, Iowa, a mere wearer of trousers was elected mayor
in a hot campaign against a lady opponent, and it is freely as
serted that it was the women who failed to support the candidate
of their own sex. Men have been playing the game of politics for
a long time and even yet are not beyond learning something new.
They can even sympathize without approving the classic example
of the right to change their minds of the two women counciImen
of Three Oaks, Mich, who resigned after declaring that they
would rather wash dishes than argue over a paving contract.

In the railroad strike both sides defied the ruling of a board

adequate power to enforce its findings. The railroads, which were
able to increase this to 1892 in 1916 before they were aided by
