[[The questions sent were:]]
1.--Is the franchise desired by any considerable body of women?
2.--Ought it to be granted, and on what grounds?
3.--Should it be on the terms of adult suffrage or of equality with the existing male
franchise?
4.--What are the best methods of inducing Parliament to concede it?
DR. ALFRED R. WALLACE.
To the four questions you ask I reply:
1. I think so.
2. Yes, on ground of justice, and also of expediency.
3. As a manhood suffrage at 31 years of age, including both sexes.
4. Petitions, public meetings, motions in Parliament.
