BISHOP WHITNEY FOR THE woMe'
Champions Their Fight In Utah for Equal
Suffrage.

Salt Lake, March 3o.-woman suffrage
was again the leading question before the
constitutional convention today. Bishop
whitney OF Salt Lake was recognized, and
made a strong speech In favor OF the
measure. His remarks were well received
and clearly indicated what the final ac-
ton of the convention would be. The
speaker believed that the woman suffrage
movement was the march OF eternal pro-
gression. He believed II was the voice OF
God. Women were made for something
beside being mothers. wives. cooks and
housekeepers. He believed they would be
the levers In the hands of God for rails
ing UP the down trodden world TO the
plane OF perfection--its ultimate redemp-
ton. He had seen an immense congrega-
tion, two-thirds of them women, raise
heir hands and vote Mr.. Roberts into a
high ecclesiastical ONCE.
At the conclusion OF whitney's speech
Roberts was recognized. and asked per-
mission to have the closing speech on
the question. He read n telegram from
his constituents, saying that the party
pledges are sacred and must be kept.
that he must cease opposing woman suf-
frage OF resign. It was finally decided
that Roberts should make the closing
speech, without limit OF time.
A vote on the question will probably be
reached on Monday.
