Mrs Ada C. Bowles, delegate from Ward SIX wanted
to read q Woman Suffrage memorial which duty
att tho Republican and Democratic Conventions Ts
Rev. Dr. Fulton, with considerable feeling objected 10
the presentation of the memorial and made some ssve
remarks about women being allowed TO participate
body of this kind.
Mr. John W. Berry Of Lynn rose TO point Of order
that Mrs Bowes was entitled to tho floor, 1t AavlS
been given to her By the Chair. az
Mr.. Fulton, in an excited manner, again offered lii
protest. and said he did Mt Propose 10 DO stuthed
any woman.
Some gentleman arose and said that Mr. Fulton evidently
intended to browbeat the Convention and carry OFT he
peculiar prejudices on woman's suffrage.
Mr. Fulton replied in sarcastic remarks, which rrs
measure were drowned with Kisses and applause.
The Rev. Mark Trafton rose to point OF order that
the Convention had voted to refer all resolutions that
Committee without debate, Mrs. Bowes had righls
read the memorial.
Mrs. Bowles, who had during the scene OF confunou
which followed tho introduction Of this ected
brand, been calmly surveying the audience, then
marked that debate was needed, she only asked 10

Mr.. Fulton obtained the floor, and said that be dr.
tnctly understood that the question OF Suffrage
not to come into the Convention. was opened
moro trouble would than they thought for God
was against woman suffrage, was also = Large ma
jority of women themselves, and he had too nncl
respect for them to believe that any true desired
the right OF suffrage. The remarks OF Mr.. Fulton were
greeted with frequent storms Of hsses and applause ana
many Of them were not heard by the audience.
The Chair suggested to Mr. Fulton that the simph
reading Of the memorial would not open large field
he had supposed, as the Committee on Resolutions
would have to pass upon it before 1t came before Tie
Convention for discussion.
The motion to allow Mrs. Bowes to read the memorial
then put to the Convention, and decided By ths
Chair to be carried and upon doubt being expressed
was verified by rising vote, hardly dczer voting
the negative.
The announcement was received with Demonstrates
of approval, and after the applause had subsded Ma
BOwles said she came TO the Convention to meet oT
Of Christian gentlemen. How she had been received
could be readily She did not come to enterinbny
discussion with DR.. Fulton any other Doctor u
