The article surveys Western women voters, noting independence in choosing ballots and preferring the best candidate over party unity. It highlights domestic life, economic balance, and civic interest, with Umatilla Oregon as a case where women ousted several council members. It also cites a Seattle Progressive-Republican conference endorsing national woman suffrage.

Women worldwide push for suffrage and equal rights

The piece notes a global surge in women's suffrage, from the US movement founded by 100000 women to demanding marital and moral equality and economic standing. It cites India's organized efforts, Bombay and Bagoda municipal votes, Rangoon’s long history of female voting, Argentina's rising leadership by humanitarian groups, and Holland's constitutional move granting women eligibility to governing offices and soon the ballot.
