COMING OR
GOING?
Today there are twelve Stated
w l,ere women can vote for president
of the United States. At the Iasi
pre:ident : al election there Weft obty
This w«Htld seem to answer the
question, “1«. woffifen suffrage coming
oi going?” i v • »
1 he size of the wohfcn's vote at
the la: t presidential election also an-
swers the question, "Will women vote
when they get the ballot?” At the
time of the presidential election in
IPithere were 24,773,583 men over
HI years of age in the non-suffrage
States of the Union. Of these, 13,621,-
voted, or 54.5 per cent. Tn the six
suffrage states, California, Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Washing
ton, (he only states where women
could vote for president at that time,
there were 3,253,443 fnfcn and women
over 21 years of age. Of these, 1,514,-
r,4;; voted, or 46.6 per cent. These fig-
tak^n from, wholly impartial
sources—the United f States Census
and the New York World Almanac.
Between the proportion of men vot
ing in the male suffrage states and
the proportion of all adults voting in
the equal suffrage, states, there was a
difference of less than 8 per Vent.
Either the women voted almost as
generally a3 the men, or the men in
the suffrage states voted much more
generally than tbe-nfen in the no-suf
frage .states. There.is no escape from
this conclusion. A. S. B.

TO THE CITIZENS’
OF ATHENS.
The "Queen” contest of the Georgia
Harvest Festival started Monday, and
the Athens contestants ar* Miss Jane
Webb and Miss LU Hodgson, both of
whori are popular With a Vide circle
o? friends. Their standing is now al
most even, and the balloting Is'expect
ed to become very lively.
The young lady who wins the great
est number of votes in the contest,
which is statewide, will be crowned
Queen of the Festival in November in-
Atlanta, at a large ball *t‘o be held in
the auditorium. She will ^Iso be
awarded a $1,000. Pullman coupe au
tomobile. which is certainly a most
elegant prize and worth working for.
A picture of this automobile was re
ceived this morning, by Mrs. G. S.
DuBose, local contest manager, and
in ns short a time as possible ft will
be published in The Herald. Every
one will be interested in seeing just
how i tlooks. ’
"’Tonight at the meeting of the Ohani*:
fcer of Commerce the matter of an
Athens float in the Harvest Festival
parade will come up.' Other matters
of local importance will come before
the body ipfil^ling jMifOTiiftttfrf thq.
Queen** contest, in which Athens is
represented. The members of the
Chamber of Commerce should be loy
al supporters of the Athens contest
ants in this contest. Envelopes for
balloting will be distributed at the
meeting as well as reading matter toll
ing of the Georgia Harvest Festival. •
• The matter of supporting the Atfi-
candidates in the Queen contest
will also be taken up at the meeting
at the Elks’ club tonight. They will
no doubt start a lively voting cam
paign. as the local Elks are known for
their loyalty to Athens.
If the. Chamber Of Commerce and
the Elks cast several thousand votes
for the Athens candidates they will
do much to help in winning for an
Athens girl the honor of Queen of the
Georgia Harvest Festival. This is a
Rtate wide contest and it will certainly
be a big advertisement for Athens
if we can elect one of our Athens girls
queen. Let’s a)l get together and do
