The Right Bon. H. H. Asquitb, Prime- Minister of Engllahd, has imtformed a deputation of suffragettes that lite is not favourable to tdie extension of the franchise to Avomieai, because he does not think it would be good for the State. Mir AsquitJh may be quite sincere ikv this opinr ion; but die canndt surely have studied the results which have followed the. extension, of the franchise in the Cblbniieis.
