DO WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?

Chicago Times-Herald.
TUESDAY’S registration answers the question, “Do women want to vote?” with an emphatic negative—at least that is the answer for Chicago. In 1894 a partial franchise was extended to the women of Illinois, and the following brief table shows how they availed themselves of it in Chicago:—
1894 ................................................ 29,815 1896 ............................................... 5,636 1898 .................................................. 1,488 1900 .............................................. Not enough to enumerate
Six years ago they registered by thousands, and a few voted, for the novelty of the thing. This year they have disdained to go ’near the registration booths.
