[[25]] The exact numbers in England and Wales (autumn 1911) are fifteen on Town Councils (two being Mayors) and four on County Councils.

[[26]] As an example I quote the canvass of women municipal electors in Reading made respectively by the suffragists in 1909 and anti-suffragists in 1911. When the suffragists canvassed, the results were:—

In FavourAgainstDid not answer and Neutral
104760467

When the anti-suffragists canvassed in 1910 the results were:—

In FavourAgainstDid not answer and Neutral
1661133401

With such disparity as this between the two returns no conclusion can possibly be drawn from either without further investigation of the methods pursued.
