more than one in ten at the outside Frauds were committed in the lowest parts of Den ver where not many women live The incident was not characteristic of the women voting in Colorado and it was preposterous to make it an argument against female suffrage Everybody knows there are bad women as well as bad men but what would any good man think if it were proposed to take his vote away from his because some bad men had cheated at an election In Colorado the women vote as gen erally as the men and fraud is more rare among them As a rule their election methods are honorable and the influence

neces sary to send a general to command the troops and if so whom he pre ferred The viceroy replied that he considered it necessary to have a chief commander of the land troops but that he had no preference as to who should be selected The czar there upon asked him whether General Ku ropatkin would be agreeable and the admiral replied Absolutely but I beg your majesty to discharge me from all responsibility for the land operations leaving these to General Kuropatkin Viceroy Alexieff retains the viceroy ship but General Kuropatkin is em ployed to coninnmicate directly with the czar Bird was
