[O OU OWN CORRESPONDENT. |
LONDON, April 2nd. In a recent article I mentioned the fact that Mr. Baldwin, is dis covering considerable opposition among raak-and-fle Conservative M.P.'s to a further extension 'of the franchise which would include women of twenty-one years of age. At present the age limit is thirty. He made a promise to put women on an equality with men, and, be, feels he ought to redeem it. The Daughters of Eve are certainly determined not to let him forget it. Every morning the Prime Minis ter gets a letter asking him whether he has yet considered the question of giving the vote to women on the same terms as to men. Mr. Bald wia's persistent correspondent is an organisation calling themselves the Young Saffragista, consisting of "under thirties" who are deter mined to obtain equal franchise.
