WOMAN VOTE ELECTED WILSON.
It is now pretty well settled that the woman vote brought
about the re-election of Presided!/Wilson. There'are 12 states
of the union that have granted '^fcjiial suffrage to the women.
These states are Illinois, with 29 electoral votes u California,
with 13; Washington, with 7; Colorado, with 6, Kansas, with
10; Oregon, witli 5; Utah, with 4; Montana, with 4; Nevada,
witli 3; Wyoming, with 3; Idaho, with 4; and Arizona, with 3
—making a total electoral vote of 91 presidential electors, a
sufficient number to swing the election either way. The re-j
turns show that President Wilson carried ten of tlie 12 states I
in which women are allowed to vote, namely, California, Kan- (
sas, Washington, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah,
Montana, and Arizona, while Hughes caried but two—Illinois
and Oregon, the latter by a very small margin.
' Why did the women voters, in large measure, support the I
candidacy of President Wilson as against that of Candidate 1
Hughes, especially in view of the fact that the republican nom-1
inee came out flat-footedlv in favor of granting national suf
frage, while President Wilson held the view that the matter j
was one for the respective states to decide? There is but one
answer. The slogan, “He has kept us out of the war,” was!
employed to good advantage by the democratic pampfeign ,
managers. The women voted for President Wilson on this j
theory. No other conclusion can be reached, in the face of
the election returns.
The woman vote was the subject of much spirited discus
sion during the campaign. It was not the volume of the wom
an’s vote that constituted the principal factor in the case. The
point of importance was, as to whether the women would di
vide as do men, or vote as women, and increase or destroy
normal partisan majorities in their respective state. The re
sult seems to show, that the women voted as women and over
turned natural partisan results.
The political parties took the position, that women would
not vote as their men folk do, but that they would vote in such
a manner as thjy thought would benefit,the suffrage cause.
It w»£ the th|pry vof certain politcal leaders that women would
vote in great groups, or as a body, on one side or the other,
Man-V leading-Miffragists held that while woineh wOrifiS vote as.
their men folk did, they would not be wholly influenced by any
relationship to men to vote with them, but that‘ they would
be influenced and guided in the exercise of the franchise as are
men. Thousands and tens of thousands of men vote alike, yet
it cannot be said that they vote in a certain way because they
are men, for thousands and tens of thousands of men vote in an
exactly opposite way. The antisuffrage contention was that
wives would vote as their husbands voted, daughters as their
fathers, and sisters as the.ir brothers, so that equal suffrage i
in the long run would make no change of consequence in the J
expression of the electorate. ;
The most reasonable view to take of the matter, it would
seem, is that the great mass of intelligent women voters would
vote quite as independently of the opinions of their husbands j
as do the great mass of husbands with regard to the opinions of
their wives. There is no more ground for the assumption that
one will vote with less regard for individual conviction than j
the other. Allowance must be made here as everywhere for
exceptions, of course. It is nonsense to hold that differences
of political opinion are likely to create discord in families.
Such differences have existed from time immemorial. If this
were not the case the family dinner table would be very dull
indeed.
A SERIOUS ALLEGATION.
John Mogel, who was perhaps the most important witness
in the alleged gambling cases, in his testimony in the Sapp
(*ase yesterday, declared that his life had been threatened by
some of those concerned in the alleged gambling enterprises
in this town. We know nothing as to the truth or falsitv of j
the serious allegations made by this witness. However, if it 1
can be shown that his life was indeed threatened, as he al
leges, then it is time for the arm of the law to reach out and
apprehend those concerned in this threat. All elements might
as well understand here and now that such extremely lawless
• acts as the threatening of a man’s life will not be tolerated for
one moment in this community. And those who employ these j
methods will be made to suffer the consequences.
The Times lias had occasion to say that the whole fault j
lies with the marshal’s office in not weeding out, long since,
those few individuals who persist in gambling as a profession
and who do nothing else for a livelihood. We believe this to
be tbe solution of the matter.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They arc so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
