The property laws, as related to her, are
the old English laws, and they are harsh
and unjust, n there was a time when
1t was urged that women were regarded
in brain, but that argument is no
longer urged. If it were a question Of

Home is her kingdom, it is true. If her
husband is to represent her at the polls
why not let him join the church and repre-
sent her there? Many would not be

less the women were ready to put on boots
and spurs and go to war. She called at
tentiOn to the physical disqualifcations
for war on the part of professional gentle
men as shown by the records and wondered
II they would be willing to have
their right to representation taken from
them for that reason. She related the story
of the mar in the insane asylum who rode
q broom stick. "A visitor remarked on the
fine appearance of his horse. He responded,
"That is not a horse: it is a hobby. Don't
you know the difference between a horse
and a hobby? I'll tell you the difference.
One can get off a horse, but they can't
leave a hobby. There are persons outside
of the insane asylum who can't get off of a
hobby, and those who make a hobby of op-
pOsiti n to woman's suffrage by such argu-
ments as the gentleman Of the boots and
spurs argument, are among the number.
They talk about women being superior,
be corrupted by contamination with pol
ttics. We know this does not mean any
thing. Many live in a shanty, take care OF
the children, ride the sulky pillow, and are
not too ethereal or angelic for that. We

the things you are interested in, feeling

erson, Garrison, and other great men of
our age, have favored granting to
women the right of suffrage. She ex.

licans and democrats should favor, but

themselves on the ground that the people
should be heard. She called attention to
the effect of woman's suffrage in Wyoming
and to a recent resolution of the legisla-
tur!e of Wyoming, declaring in favor of
woman's suffrage after a trial of many
years.
MI. UELAND read the resolutions. At
this point the amendments of Messrs.
Yegen and Wineman were offered.
MI. SIMPSON protested against this
treatment of the question, and insisted
that as gentleman representing a constitu-
ency of gentlemen they should give this
question respectful treatment. He read
posed enfranchisement of women carried
with it the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship.
MI. BENTLEY was opposed to woman's
suffrage but was not opposed to its SUBJ
mission to a vote of the people. The
people can be trusted. He regarded m
at the cross, the last at the tomb, and when
the mothers in Israel came here and asked
to be heard on this question he was willing
to concede them that privilege. Let the
people say whether they want this.
Messrs. Macarthur, Logan, Elliott and
McCanna spoke il favor Of the bill,
Mr.. HALLUM opposed il.
Mr.. OLIVER called attention to the re
marks of Miss Preston to the effect that the
women were organized and intended to
organize to help those in future campaigns
who help them. He, for one, did not fear
the ghostlng. He would not be a cand:-
date for reelection two years from now,
but whether he were or not, he should not
be deferred from doing his duty by threats.
