The great demonstration in favour of women's suffrage was successfully
held on Saturday last. Estimates as to the exact number of women who took part in the procession, which marched from the Embankment to the Albert Hall, range from six thousand five hundred to twelve thousand, but there is no difference of opinion as to the excellence of the organisation or the picturesqueness of the spectacle. The procession, which was beaded by Mrs. Fawcett, Mrs. Despard, Lady Frances Balfour, and other prominent suffragists, included a large number of professional women and graduates in cap and gown, and its im- pressiveness was enhanced by a number of banners testifying to the achievements of women in variods walks of life. Inside the Albert Hall the proceedings were chiefly notable for the extreme moderation of the speakers. We have dealt.with the whole question elsewhere, and will only say here that the piocession was avery prompt rejoinder to Mr. Asquith's demand for evidence of unanimity. It appears to hate convinced the Radical Press that " Votes for Women" will be the live issue at the next General Election.
