It all came to me one election day. It was on a warm California
afternoon, and I had ridden down into the Valley of the Moon from
the ranch to the little village to vote Yes and No to a host of
proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of California.
Because of the warmth of the day I had had several drinks before
casting my ballot, and divers drinks after casting it. Then I had
ridden up through the vine-clad hills and rolling pastures of the
ranch, and arrived at the farm-house in time for another drink and
supper. "How did you vote on the suffrage amendment?" Charmian
asked. "I voted for it." She uttered an exclamation of surprise.
For, be it known, in my younger days, despite my ardent democracy,
I had been opposed to woman suffrage. In my later and more tolerant
years I had been unenthusiastic in my acceptance of it as an
inevitable social phenomenon. "Now just why did you vote for it?"
Charmian asked. I answered. I answered at length. I answered
indignantly. The more I answered, the more indignant I became. (No;
I was not drunk. The horse I had ridden was well named "The
Outlaw." I'd like to see any drunken man ride her.)
