Female Suffrage In Arizona

Frum ii prívate letter recelveá (r.im a former well-known Ann Arbor boy, in Arlzoaa, we are allowed to quote tlie followlng, wliicli wilt bo found to Interest ïiüiny of our readers, ahd quite apropos to tlte times : "Women are allowed to vote at school dectlons herc, and as I was intcrested in the last election, I worked very hard all day. I had a barouche at my disposal, and In the afternoon took about 18 ladics to the polls. It was the flrst time that most of them had voted, and I liad lots of fun. Mrs. R. said ' Slie liever expeeted to see the day when 1 would come in a carriage to take her to the polls.' I told her that I hoped I never would see her vote for anything but school trustees. " If you Imagine that it is an easy matter to vote sixteen or seventeen ladies in the course of au afternoon, even with a carriage at your disposal, you are either uninfoimed or prejudiced. Out of about fifteen ladies there were three or four who were ready when I oalledfor theni. Others were about as follows : Mis. Jones wuntcd very inuch to go and vote, but was not dressed to go, and would like me to wait or cali again in about lifieeu minutes. In about lifteen minutes I cal led agaln. She was nearly ready tliis time, all but her hair, whicli t took about five minutes more to tíx. Slie finally got as far as the front gate, when the vegetable Chinaman carne, and of course shecould uot miss lier last chance to get sometían' for Sunday's dinner. I iinally got her vote in the box, and feit as if I had carried a whole precinct on an ordinal1}' election day. Mrs. Smitii was dressed well enough, and ready, but was undecided as to whether she had best go or not; her lmsband had advised her not to go and vote, and she did not know whether it vvould do for her to go w ithout his consent. She linally decided to advise with her next door neighbor, Mrs. Simpson, who happened to come into the front garden at this moment. A confab over t pickets followed, in which tlie whole situation, morally, physic-dly, politically and every other way, was discussed. In the course of human events it came to an end, with tlie decisión that Mrs. Smith would go if I would wait for Mrs. Simpson to put on her bonnet mul go also. As I had already waited about ten minutes, I thought it would be better to take the whole than none (no flftttery utended), and so waited live or ten minutes longer. It was quité au experlence, but I would rather engage to lobby a whole ward of male yoters thau a single neighborhood of ladies. Be it said, however, to their credit, that they voted the tickets I cave them without Bcratchlng a single name. You see they liad contidence in me, and my being on the right side of the question."
