WOMEN AND THE SUFFRAGE.
[To au Enrros or Tax "SPECTATOR:I
see that in your issue of the 5th inst. you quote the figures given by Mrs. Humphry Ward as to the results of a postcard canvass on woman suffrage at Croydon, which showed a. large majority against suffrage. May I ask you as a matter of fairness to give publicity in your columns to the results of a house-to-house canvass of women (chiefly, though not quite exclusively, municipal voters) recently made in Godahning and the surrounding district ? Of '791 women visited, 612 were suffragist, 61 anti-suffragist, 118 neutral. Seventy-nine per cent, of those asked to sign the municipal voters' petition asking Parliament to grant immediate facilities for the passage into law of the "Conciliation Bill" did sign.— IThough we must adhere to our determination not to open our columns to a discussion of the suffrage question, we are delighted to publish the statement of facts contained in Lady Chance's letter, which we refer to elsewhere.—En. Spectator.)
