Although New York City is nearly two and a half times as large as
Chicago, the registration of the latter exceeded that of New York by
69,307.

The following is quoted from an official statement issued by the
California Civic League on what the women of California have done with
the vote:

"There has been some attempt on the part of those opposed
to women voting to make it appear that in San Francisco
particularly, women were slow to register and loth to vote.

than 132 men to every 100 women in the city and that women
therefore should properly be only forty-three per cent. of the
total number of voting adults. At the last mayoralty election
the women unquestionably re-elected the incumbent as against
Eugene Schmitz of graft-prosecution fame, who tried to 'come
back.' In this election women constituted thirty-seven per
cent. of the total registered vote and the women of the best
residence districts voted in the proportion of forty-two
to forty-four per cent. of the total vote cast in those
precincts; while in the downtown, tenderloin and dance-hall
districts women constituted only twenty-seven per cent. of
the registration and negligible portion of the vote. These
proportions have been substantially maintained in minor
elections since, and were slightly increased in the National
election of November, 1916, when they comprised thirty-nine
per cent. of the registration and voted within two per cent.
as heavily as men."

From no state comes the report that women have not used their vote.
The evidence that they do use it has been so largely distributed
through the press, that more definite proof seems unnecessary, even
were it possible to secure it. The following bits of testimony taken
from press reports are of interest:

In WYOMING, out of 45,000 registered voters, 20,000 are reported
as women. But Wyoming has 219 men to every 100 women of voting age.
Therefore to compare favorably with Wyoming's 20,000 women voters
