one PELHAM WOMEN C4sT FIFTY VOTES, TEN TARO UT Cross Marks So Poorly Made That Nobody Could Tell What They Meant, WHY BALLOT WAS LOST. “Such a Crowd” at the Polls That Mrs. Hurttig Would Not Get Out of Carriage. By Ethel Lloyd Patterson. Fifty women have voted in Pelham. Ten of the votes were thrown out be- cause the ballots were incorrectly marked, but aside from that every one had a perfectly lovely time. While all Manhattan, from the Bat- tery to the Bronx, has been a seething suffrage argument, the fair citizens of Pelham have been metaphorically “say- ing nothing but sawing wood.” Can they vote? Well, I should say so, and not any of your fake straw ballots, either, The momentous questions that were placed before the skirted politiclans were, first: Whether a new Town Hi to cost $25,000, was to be built, and ond, whether the additional purchase of ‘& $5,000 piece of property was necessary. “I yoted in this township when no| ‘a other woman would take the trouble to do it,” proclaimed Mrs. G, 8. Karback, who seemed to be the leading spirit of the polls, “Not that shirking respon- sibility 1s necessarily a feminine trait,” she added, ‘The men are the same way. They want to see a measure or @ resolution passed, but they won't take the trouble to go down to the polls and vote for it. Then, when things go dif- ferently from the way they wished, they commence to complain about it. Not New Experience. “It {s nothing new, though, for the women of Pelham to vote," Mrs, Kar- back continued. ‘We are nineteen years ahead of New York, for we have been voting for that length of time. You see,,| all property owners here, whether men or women, are permitted votes upon #ubjects that concern their taxation. Even the joint property ownership of husband and wife allows the woman a vote. Of course, a lot of the Pelham women are not Interested enough in these things to bother to come down to| Niagara River, close to the brink of the polls, but I have been preaching to them lately. I ask them what they would do if their husbands died and they had to look after thelr own prop- erty alone, A lot more of them turned out this time than ever before. were about one hundred and fifty voters, fifty of whom were women, I should] trip, Bay. “We had regular printed ballots, The questicns they were ed to vote upon wero printed above, and spaces opposite the words ‘Yes’ and”'No' were left, so that a cross might be printed after elther ono of them. “No, you would not think that a mis- take was possible,” Mrs, Karback agreed, nevertheless ten women aid disay their votes, They printed the crosses so poorly that nobody could tell what they had attempted to signify. Then some of them got the crosses {n the wrong place, or else wrote com- menis on their ballots.”” Why She Didn't Vote, “J did not vote," Mrs. F. Hurttlg, an- other Pelliam matron, admitted, “but I N way down to the fire-house 1e, where the polls were. 1 not intended to go, but when most luncheon time somebody » up for me and told me that my vote was needed for something or other. 1 did not understand it at all, but they Said that ail I need do was just drive down to the fire-house and draw a cross opposite the word ‘Yes’ on the ballot “When I got out of the carriage ther were so many men the fire- that I thought I before I went in. m to thi rer ed that the ¢ comin from school Tune did not s a we any one, but I just quietly slipped h again, I would have liked to ob I did not know 1 about, and, anyway, n r I voted or n t Pelham women who ballots are: Mrs. Jacob Hels- 3 » Mrs. Thomas uel Totten, ee MISS COCHRAN WEDS COUNT. ast Philadelphia Soctety Girl In Prive |i such cases {8 be of a French Nobleman, PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 17. - tochran | g| de Fe .
