peerless Workmanship of that littl'
woman in Buffalo Bills show. Ihl
was centre shot. He felt it a duty
however, that he owed to his constlt
Eency to vote against it. (Prolonget
laughter Prejudice was dangerous
thing.
Miller-IIow can you make such
speech like that and then say. yol
can't vote for it? Laughter and con
fusion.
Mr.. Burn said he always tried t
represent by his vote the will OF nj
people: that was all.
Mr.. Clayton wanted to have tn
! further consideration postponed unit
tomorrow morning. This caused
vollev of oh, nos" from all parts o
! the house. Mr.. Rogers renewed nj
motion to table, but withdrew to al
low DR.. Zimmerman to speak for
! few moments.
DR.. ZIMMERMAN
began to speak amid a roar Of laughter
but it quickly subsidized, for he stood or
strong ground. He said he advocated
the cause of woman's suffrage because
it would contribute to the moral statu:
of the men and would improve the
moral tone OF the suffrage article. H'
was somewhat surprised at the distln
guiShed gentleman from Aiken saying
! that the men wished to hide behlnC
! the women.
NO VOTING WOMEN THERE.
Mr.. Rogers said he went home the
other day and he made special can
vass. finding not single woman who
wanted it.
Mr.. M'wHITE.
Mr.. McWhite got the floor as the
vote was about to be taken and he pro
ceeded to state that the women o.
Florence did not want the ballot
When they want it am willing tc
give the ballot to them. He did mo-
know until tonight that his colleague:
were in favor of this scheme. He at
tackled the argument on the other side
Mr. Burn started to ask him a ques
ton
Mr.. McWhite-Mhy. I understand
you are going to vote with me; its ne
use to answer any question from you
That little organization of women
over in Florence bas about dozer
women in it, and the president OF i
is New Englander. He had nevel
seen anything in Mr.. Clayton's papel
! in favor of Woman'S suffrage.
Mr.. Clayton-There have been sew
erai editorials therein.
Mr.. McWhite-I have never seer
anything else in it except some little
local or show notice, outside OF some
poor peoples land advertised to b.
sold. (Laughter)
After some little debate, the further
consideration of Mr.. Clayton's amend
ment was postponed till tomorrow
whereupon the Convention adjourned
a FINAL APPEAL.
Just before Mr.. McWhlte began K
speak the following petition from thu
women of Fairfax was read to thu
convention:
To the Hon. John Gary Evans, presi
dent, and the members of the Con
stitutional convention.

plan suggested by the committee coult
not do more than be temporary in it

Mr.. Clayton then said he desired II
