WOMEN'S FRANCHISE.
AN INCREASING DEMAND. VIEWS OF THE PRESS. By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright. London, Juno 15. The Daily Chronicle (Liberal), referring to the suffragists' procession, says that no statesman can ignore a demand so widely diffused and so persistently and earnestly expressed. The Morning Post (Unionist) says that while giving women votes may not effect any great political change, it may be a good educational measure, and a symbol of a salutary change in political thought. The Standard (Conservative) says the country is unprepared for the general enfranchisement of all grown-up persons, but might admit a million anti-quarter highly competent Had desirable women to the privilege. The Daily Express (Independent) says a limited women's franchise, would be good, but an unlimited franchise would cause dismay.
