Tokio, Oct, 23.
Reports, apparently authoritative, that the movement for universal male suffrage is finding favour with the Cabinet, which is reported as likely to submit a Bill to that end to the next session of the Diet, are leading to a demand on the part _of the women that no discrimination should be shown. against them.
A meeting of woman suffragists held here yesterday passed a resolution in favour of being included in the proposals for the extension of the suffrage, and legated certain of their number to interview the suffrage champion, Mr. Inukai, in an attempt enlist his sympathies and active. support in their cause.—Reuter. Tokio, Oct. 28...
The legislative deliberative commission some time ago decided upon the abolition without... condition of tax qualification regarding the extension of suffrage and at its meeting yesterday further decided that the age of electoral qualification is % and upward and that the suffrage be extended to students. It has been decided, however, not to accord the electoral right to women, on the ground that it is premature to do so. The time of domicile has been fixed upon as-six months.—Eastern News. Agency.
