The following is an extract frem the
published proceedings Of the American
woman Suffrage Association at MIN
neapolis, October l6 b:
Mrs. Budlon9 told of her experience
as . voter 10 Wyoming, giving the same
favorable report that has come froEa all
sources as to the practical workings Of
womap suffrage there. She voted one
ticket and her husband another without
causing family fight. Mrs. Dunivay
OF Oregon entertained the ladies with
some of her lsuRhable and forcibIe
stories mixed in With some more sober
suggestions. SRe was we'll received.
An interesting letter from Susan B
Anthony vas read. Major Pickl u told
over again his Dakota experiences. The
President. Mrs. Ripley, made stirring
appeal to the ladies' to exercise greater
enthusiasm in the woman suffrage work.
She wanted them to make everything
else secondary. In her ardor she spoks
some rather bitter words Of denuneia-
ton of the policy pursued by the
Women's Christian Temperance Onion
toward the woman suffrage movement.
They we're putting tbs cart before the
horse. They should drop temperance
agitation and secure the ballot for
woman hrst: then they would be ready
to hight for temperance effectively. The
Presidents vigorous remarks we're
loudly applauded by Mrs. Doniway and
several other ladies, bnt were not %
cordially received by some Of the ladies'
present Who are actively engaged in the
W. @. I. Q. work. lively little tenn
pest Ia teapot was the result. -Four
or I'VE of the ladies rose to protest and
all talked at once. Others came to the
rescue Of the President, and the scene
and sound we're decidedly tempestuous.
Calm Was at length restored, however.
and Mrs. Ripley took back some Of her
hssty words. Mrs. II. Z. Gallineer was
the leader in defense of the W. @. T. U.
She said she was thoroughgoinR NO.
man ssfraeist, but she was also
thorough believer In the w. G. T. U.
work. She believed that organic alton
had done for the suffrage cause what
the Suffrage Association could never do.
This was especially true At the South.
Mrs. Duniway insisted that unknown 10
itself the W. Q. L. u. vas doing all ID
could to hinder woman suffrage. Miss
Bessie Isaacs said that II the w. G. L. u
had had the hold in Washington Terri
TORY that IL had in Iowa the Territory
would not nov be enjoying woman suf-
fraes. Mrs. Moffett and other ladies
defended the W. G. +. q. earnestly.
Without coming to any agreement on
the point the convention adjourned.
