feet tall, and weighed about 200 pounds, was

SALT LAKE, March 30.-Woman suffrage
was again the leading question before the
constitutional convention today. Bishop
Whitney of Salt Lake was recognized and
made strong speech in favor of the meas
ure. His remarks were well received and
clearly indicated what the final action Of the
convention would be. The speaker believed
that the suffrage movement was the march
Of eternal progression-he believed 1t was
the voice of God. Women were made for
something besides being mothers, wives,
cooks and housekeepers. He believed they
would be the levers in the hands of God for
raising up the downtrodden race to its ultI-
mate redemption. He had seen an immense
congregation, two-thrds of them women,
raise their hands and vote Mr.. Roberts into
high ecclesiastical office.
At the conclusion of Bishop Whitney S
speech Roberts was recognized. and asked
permission to have the closing speech on
the question. He read telegram from his
constituents saying that party pledges are
sacred and must be kept. that he must cease
opposing woman suffrage or resign. 1t was
finally decided that Roberts should make
the closing speech without limit of time
vote on the question will be probably
