SUFFRAGE SPREAD
SEEN BY MRS. Gait
Feminist Declares Spanish
Movement Will Set Pace
for South Europe.

BY tbs Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 3.--Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, American woman suf-
frage leader, said yesterday that with
Spain granting woman suffrage, all
Southern Europe would soon fall in line.
In rs years she predicted, women in all
countries of the world would be casting
their votes in at least the general cleo
tlons of their nations.
Woman suffrage first came into being
In the State of Wyoming in 1859, but
New Zealand was the first entire coun-
try to give women equal voting rights
with men. That was in 1893 Austria
liza was next, in June, 1902.
Spain Leads Way.
Mrs. Gait, who Travelled eight months
In 1922 and 1929 through many coun-
tries in Europe and South America, said
today that over half the countries in the
world now had woman suffrage. Spain
is the first of the South European coun-
tries to recognize women in politics, she
said
She thought after her trip, that
France and Italy would be next to fol-
low suit, but Italy has done nothing
to put its feminine division on a voting
par with men. Frances Senats has de-
MED women the ballot though the
Chamber OF Deputies has voiced appro-
val OF such a move. Turkey has prom
tsed women full franchise within four
years If it has to amend its constitution
to do 50.
In Germany women are granted
equality by the constitution. hut their
leaders argue it is only paper" equal
ity, They are now demanding there
be no discrimination against them in
civil service appointments and ask their
remuneration rank with that of men.
Serve in Polish Parliament.
Women are already serving as Depu-
ties in the Polish Parliament, and
Portuguese women, who already have
the right to vote in municipal elections,
are fighting for the privilege of casting
parliamentary ballots. The Union Of
South Africa gave women the franchise
In parliamentary ana provincial cleo
tons in June, this year
Before the World War only four
countries had woman suffrage In 1923
practically all of the principal countries
had adopted the practice except France,
Italy and Spain The United States
won suffrage for women 1 1919.
Other countries which have suffrage
for women are Great Britain, Ireland
Canada, Burma, Iceland, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark. Esthonia, Finland,
Latvia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia Hun
gary, Rumania municipal only, Hol-
land Rhodesia, Belgium, India, Luxem-
burg. Bermuda, Austria, Newfoundland
