They may have had it, but I do not think they ought to have had it. I think it is too young an age to give them the vote, and for that reason I am sorry that the Bill has been introduced to give women of the same age the vote. If the Bill had proposed only to give votes at the age of 25, I should have been willing to have voted for it, but I do honestly believe that it is a great mistake to give the vote either to a man or a woman at 21.
