acted against the west and has no
hesitated to nullify laws.

Allowing Women to Vote.
When section 9 came up Richards
moved an amendment which would al
ow women to vote as we'll on the
as state officers and pro-
7iding that votes of females should be
Kept separate.
Goodwin gave notice that he would
move the previous question a soon as
Richards was through, in order TO shut
,ff debate.
Richards said that if he did not be-
ieve statehood was involved in the
question he would not have presented
he amendment. When it appears to
representatives Of the people that
statehood would be imperilled by the
efusal to adopt the amendment. it
vas not only an act Of prudence but a
luty for members to be less hasty and
,recipitate 1t will not be necessary
o demonstrate the merits or propriety
# the opinions of such noted jurists
s Judge Henderson, Judge Suther-
and and the others concerned.
Varian-Did these gentlemen give
heir judgment upon the question after
tearing arguments?
A Grave Responsibility.
Richards said he supposed not. But
here is a grave responsibility upon
1embers and they cannot afford TO
un the risk of losing state sover-
ignty. He was authorized by Mr..
sawlins to state that women have the
light to vote upon this proposition. If
romen are not permitted to vote,
tatehood will fail. 1t will not do to
ay that even then another election
ould be held, for this could not be
one without Congress passing an
Their law. No risk would at
md the carving of his provision. (
