Hennepin County Has Hts Say ON WO
man Suffrage.


Editor Anti Monopolist.
The woman rights question is too Sc
rious subject for bombast or ridicule.
The only point in it worth talking about
is whether woman's voting would elevate
politics or politics would drag down wo.
man. 1t can be settled by experience.
and in no other way
have no doubt that on all great moral
questions the women would be found al
most unit, voting in the right direction.
It is human nature to respect power.
Even though women should never vote,
the right to vote will secure to them all
their other rights.
Next fall we can give them the right to
vote and hold school offices in school DIS
tricts. That will be one step; and the
rest will come in time.

SINCE THE LAST ELECTION
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRrBUSE.I
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-Seuator Morton will at
tempt on Tuesday to cali up in the Senate his
luton and report in favor of changing the mode OF
choosing President and Vce-President of the United
States. This subject which he has heretofore failed
to interest the Senate n has, since the elections last
Fall, gained q new Importance. Under the opera
ton of the 21st joint rule of the two Houses If either
branch Of Congress persists in its objection to the
vote of any State, it must be thrown ont.
Presidents for rejecting the votes of States
for fraud or informalty have already been
established IL the returns from enough
States should be rejected to deprive either
candidate of majority of the electoral college, then
the election will be thrown into the House. Ii the
electoral vote at tho next Presidential election
should be very close, as it now promises to be, it
might be necessary to reject tue vote of only one OF
two States to deprive either candidate of majority
For instance the House. which will be Dem scrstic,
might object to counting the vote Of oil two
Southern States account of the interference Of the
Federal Government, with the army or by the OF
overflow bacon, or for any other reason, and thus
throw the election into the House, insuring tho
choice of Democrat although majority OF the cleo
tOra votes may have been cast for the Republican
ddate In such an event no Que could foFetell what
dangers to the peace of the country might arise In
view of these facts Senator Morton hopes 20 excite
interest III his resolution and for that purpose has
prepared a careful speech on the subject.
