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.
