Miss Preston In responding to the invita-.
ton to speak on the resolution submitting
the woman's suffrage amendment eX-
pressed gratitude for the courtesy ex-
tended, gained as it was after such q pro-
lOnged struggle. She regretted that she
could not command words of %eloquence to
interest, perhaps, after the constant flow
INDUCED in for the past sixty days by the
honorable members of this body.
She came before this body to ask the pas
sage of this resolution as the representa-
tive Of and in the name of the women of
North Dakota. The w. G. Il. u. organized
in every locality have through their re-
spective organization unanimously asked
the submission of this question to a vote of
the people. The point was made in this
house the other day that an amendment
should be submitted to a vote of the people
because 500 had demanded it, and they
were sustained in that demand. More than
twice and thrice that number have asked
for this amendment, and this body can not
refuse it and be consistent with itself. 1t
has been said that the women are now re-
presented In politics by their husbands but
there Is a large and constantly increasing
