N yeara to come men will not influence the votes of women; op the pontrary, women will Influence the votes of mes." declared Mary Roberts Rindhart, the famous novelist, in an exclusive interview at the Waldorf yenterday. Mrs. Rinehart seemed almost too young to be a grandmother, but her trip to New York was made to attend tha christening of “Bab,” or, more Praperly, Mary Roberta Rinehart 24, tha five-monthe-old baby of Mr. and Myre, Stanley M. Rinehart jr. When she was asked, “Now that women Bave the vote, what are they going to @o with it? she demonstrated great eagerness In discussing ourrent the- @eies concerning her sex which she ae dleproved by atudy of to-day's eonéitions in women's ciroles of every part of the country. “amerioa, unlike other countries, hee onty one Iciwure class, and that eempriens all ite women, with the exception of the workers” sho ex- @lained. ‘Men are too ‘busy to take an active part in the Government, end for every man who has time to give fnteliizent thought to to-day's problems there are a hundred women. ‘“WMoreover, a man with a conviction feeepe tt to Kimnself to most cases, but who ever heard of a woman with o firm conviction keeping it to horself?

Rinehart’s quick “Certainly” came almost as a rebuke, “More- ever, thelr interest in the questions of the day will take them to the polls.

Will not that condition, true, be ageravated ™ I agked, “Not at ail," replied the authoreas “I have laid stress upon that point in my new book, 1A Poor Wise Man,’ My contention ts that women will, by thelr interest, rouse the men from their political lethargy and literally force them to the pole, The men who refer to their Government as “They” Will find their wives and sisters say - ing "We, and will immediately seak fo join the great Organization.
