Idaho aud wyoming.

The democrats, under the lead OF BIZ
Springer made hard fight against the
consideration of the Wyoming admts-

republicans present TO outvote them,
and the bill was taken up. The same

u long debate on both bills and IL is more
than likely that a great deal OF the time
of the house will be occul led with these
ambitious territories for the next TWO
weeks. The result is about sure. Both
will be admitted at this session.
A lengthy report has been prepared by
the democrats Of the committee on the
territories against the admission OF
Idaho. The opposition TO wyoming
will be upon the woman suffrage cause.
In Idaho IL is the hedisiranchisemcnt of the
minority,
In their report they say: "rhe pro
else point Of difference between the
majority and minority Is this, that tho
majority asscnts to and approves OF the
provision which dcprives citi-
zen of the right Of suffrage, dis.
qualities him from holding ofiice
and prevents him from serving ON juries
for criminal conduct imputed to him
when he has not been convicted OF such
criminal conduct, while the minority
insists hat citizen not being other
wise disqualified, should not be deprived
OF these rights and privileges on account
of an alleged crime, unless he has be en-
convicted Of such crime by some court
OF competent jurisdiction."
Further along they say that they do
not claim any Justification Of bigamy or
polyeamy, but assert that 1t must no
proved and the man convicted before
disfranchisoment can bc lawfully made.
