THE WOMEN AND PLACE IN POLITICS Sn Montreal Gazette (Com,) ' far as Canada is concerned, it is doubtfu) if the extension of the | franchise will make very much dif- ference after all. The enfranchise- ment of women does not mean that all the women qualified will vote. That even a majority of them will use the franchise.after jt is given them may be doubted in view of the indifference which Canadian wo- men, apart from the suffragist or- ganizations, have shown to the movement for their enfranchiise« ment. At the same time if it is right that 'women hould "have the vote, and if a substantial element Among the worfen of the country desire and wfsh to exercise that right, there can be no question as to what the duty of the Government is. Sir Robert Borden believes that women have gaade "abundantly clear ~--what I beiive was clear before-- their right to a voice in the govern- ment of this country." Holding this view, the Prime Minister proposes that the question be dealt with by Parliament before an appeal is made to the people. He rejects, quite pro- perly, the illogical Suggestion that the federal franchise be given to wo- men only in those provinces where female suffrage is in force. - If wo- men are to vote for federal candi- dates in some provinces, why not in all?
