Knowles took a similar view.
blr. Maginuess opposed the motion ON
the ground that Montana needs Imnii-
grants. lie also pointed out that an
aTchists and other dang rous foreigners
arc often well educated. Mr.. Stnpleton
said education vas not an iuialiible
sign OF honesty or merit There was
considerable confusion and excitement
over the debate.
The motion was finally ro,ed down
by a large majority. Only eleven men
voted for It. The question ~ woman
suffrage came up next, and also cN-
cited much interest.
The galleries were filled with ladies.
Mr.. Bi-kiord moved TO leave the sub
i,ct to the Legislature. Many speeches
were made Tor anl against the motion.
aud all were literally apphuied.
The motion. namely that the L'gls-
lature be empowered to submit Tie
question OF unycral suffrage 10 q
