GIVE ALL WOMEN BALLOT

New Law in Norway Will Add 200,000 Names to the Voting List. Christiania. Woman suffragists throughout Norway are rejoicing today over the unanimous report of the constitution committee of the Storthing favoring the proposed new electoral law, giving the franchise to women on the Bame terms as it is granted to men. The measure, which will add about 200,000 women to the total number of Norwegian voters, will almost certainly be passed, it is said, by the Radical majority in the Storthing. Women of this country have, since 1907, possessed municipal and limited general suffrage. The new bill probably will reduce the age limit from twenty-five to twenty-one.
