Anthony in her eighty-fifth year. With all her great past behind her, her life as a teacher, her work for the temperance cause and for the freedom of the slave, and her fifty years of ceaseless effort for the full emancipation of women, she still lives keenly in the present, quickly and appositely applying the wisdom of her wide experience to the problems of to-day. It was my great privilege, thanks to the kindness of a valued friend, 2 to pass recently in a typical English home two days with Miss Anthony, President at Large of the American National Women’s Suffrage Association —days spent in discussing the past history and the present position of the woman question in the United States of America and in the United Kingdom, and in comparing memories, fears and hopes. “How soon do you expect to win Women’s Suffrage throughout the United States?” was an early question.—“You ought to win full suffrage for the women of the United Kingdom far sooner than we can hope to win it throughout the United States—for look how easy your task is, compared with ours. You have but to convince one single Parliament of the justice 17 june 1904 ^ 509 and urgency of your claim, and to carry your Bill through both Houses by a sufficiently decisive majority, the Royal Assent being given as a matter of course; whilst we need to convince both Houses of forty-five separate Parliaments.” “How comes this about?”—“The United States of America is hampered by a written Constitution, which it is almost impossible to change; and each of its federated States has also a written Constitution, which cannot be altered in the least particular without the explicit consent of a majority of the electors. Every one of these separate Constitutions was framed by a Convention which no woman had any voice in selecting, and of which no woman was a member. Wyoming alone permitted its women to vote on its Constitution, and every State except Wyoming and Utah confined its elective franchise strictly to male citizens.” “What,then,is the method of procedure?”—“We have first to create and develop in the Governor of a State such a sense of justice as shall induce him to recommend the Legislature to submit to the electorate a Women’s Suffrage amendment to the State Constitution; next, the same process of conviction and stirring up to action must be repeated with the members of the State House of Representatives and the Senate, so as to assure a decisive majority in each; and finally we must convince such a proportion of the electorate as shall assure a decisive majority when the question is at last submitted to them. In some States a clear majority of the votes cast on that one issue is decisive; in others it must be a clear majority of the largest vote cast on any issue at that election; and again in many States such a resolution must be submitted to the electors by two successive Legislatures before it becomes law.” “What are the adverse elements in the electorate?”—“Largely the newly enfranchised men of alien birth (for only a year of...
