EX-SENATOR CANNON'S ADDRESS.
Raises Question of Necessity of
Woman Casting Her Ballot.

Raises Question of Necessity of
Woman Casting Her Ballot.
The feature of the afternoon was the
address Of ex-senator Cannon OF Utah.
following the report of Mrs. Latiscii, the
representative of that State.
"Of course" he said, women have the
right to vote. They have had it since it
| was the right of man to vote; the only
| question is whether it is their duty to
vote.
Bread winning is duty; kindling the
fire is duty. In the beginning men did
those duties. The question now is
whether they need the assistance of
women in discharging the duty of voting.
ION the way to this place met bril-
liant man who advanced the argument
that when woman gets into politics it will
degrade her womanhood. / said: Who
degraded politics? Not women. 1t is the
turn of those who did not degrade it to
lift 1t out of the Sums Don't you be-
lieve that men-some men-would not
welcome you into politics.
Il read In the papers that woman
had passed as a man for many years
smoked, drank, and been a member OF
Tammany. She had degraded her woman
hood and she was good enough to be a
politician.
Il was not always in favor of woman
suffrage. We had peaceable elections in
our State, and l had to learn the great
lesson that New York City taught. 1t
was that the duty of voting wasn't al
ways well despatched by men.
where both parties were acknowledged to
be helpless the women got together, and
every proud police captain in that city
trembled. And then the women were ex-
ercising their influence AT second hand.
Il heard 4 brilliant woman arguing in
the back of this hall with a wayfaring
man who had strayed in. He said some
thing about women's interests being the
same as mems. and she asked If he wasn't
willing to let her vote and be himself
the power behind the throne for a while
Il never heard woman at the polls
use one word of profanity | never saw
ono Of them take i drink or smoke cigar
AID that is better than | can say for
many men whom / have known in politics.
When the day shall come that every man
shall vote so that he can face the women
of his family, then we shall better de-
spatch our duty before God and our fell
low-men." IApplause.l
In commenting On ex-senator Csnnon's
speech, Mrs. Gait, remarked that she
should never expect a Senator in active
service TO make a speech before a suf-
frage convention. because such 4 thing
was never known.
Mr.. Henry Blackwell rose to state that
Senator Hoar had once made magnificent
speech before such a convention.
Mrs. Catt-That was many years ago.
Miss Anthony-And Senator Pomeroy
also made US speech not SO very long
ago.
Mrs. Gait gracefully changed the sub

REPORTS OF TIE STATES.
Progress of the Movement in the
Different Sections.


The reports of the States were received
at the afternoon session. Mrs. l.. worth
presented the report from Missouri. Min
nesota was represented by Mrs. Maud L.
Stockwell.
New Hampshires report was given by
Mrs Mary Chase. president She SAID
| that there was no cause to fear the in
Jury Of the home through interest in
suffrage, because the essential nature OF
woman could not be changed.
Mrs Mineola Sexton. of New Jersey,
being detained through illness, Miss
Joanna Hartshorn, as representative
of the women's clubs of New Jersey. pre-
scented the report from that State. New
York was represented by Mrs. Mariana
Chapman.
DR.. Carrie Chase Davis, in presenting
the report from Ohio, referred to the
death of DR.. and Mrs. Claypole, two of
the veteran suffragsts of that State. She
also said that in Ohio the suffragists had
secured the appointment of inspectors to
visit factories and investigate the condi-
lions there, and any employer refusing
them access would be fined from $50 to
500.
Mrs. L. L. Blankenburg spoke for Penn
sylvania. Rhode Island was represented
by Mrs Ardelia Cook Dewing. Mrs. Viz
ginia D. Young, Of South Carolina, pre-
sArted the report for that State. and was
heartily applauded. Miss Laura Moore
reported for Vermont.
Rev. Olympia Brown represented Wis

adoption. She stated that at Minneapolis
much time was lost owing to the fact that
one person could east several votes, and
some of the delegates would come to the
convention prepared to east three, or five,
or sixteen votes.
Miss Shaw requested that the precise
method of authorization be defined.
Mrs. Hackstaff suggested that an
amendment be framed to cover this point.
Mrs. Upton was opposed to any ar
rangement by which a member of the
convention might come to the convention
with twenty to fifty or severty-fve votes
in her pocket. At present, of course, all
members were acting from lofty motives,
but at some future time the convention
might not be on SO high a plane, as the
number of members increased.
Mrs. Chapman moved to amend the
amendment by substituting the words
delegate from her State for member
of the convention" This amendment was
carried.
Mrs. Gait then called for the vote on
the amended amendment, with the result
that in a viva voce vote the amendment
was adopted, Mrs. Gait remarking:
The amendment is adopted. but | don't
believe you knew what you we're doing. ="
1t was held that a two-thirds vote was
needed to ratify any amendment to the
constitution, and as there was 4 slight
doubt as to the exact number of votes
the president ruled that the point was
well taken and called for a rising vote.
The amendment was adopted by vote
CT 81 to I, many members not voting.
Mrs. French. Rhode Island, then offered
another amendment, which the president
requested her to explain. She did SO, and
a vote was called for, which resulted in
the defeat of the amendment, a majority
of the delegates not voting.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
A Number Voted Upon ut the After.
noon Session.

The afternoon session yesterday was
opened with prayer by Rev. Ulysses G. B.
Pierce, of All Souls Church, followed by
Miss Maddox singing the Battle Hymn OF
the Republic the audience Joining in the
chorus. The business of discussing and
voting upon amendments for the constitu-
tion was then taken up.
Miss Shaw moved that no speaker should
speak twice until all had had a chance to
be heard, and that none should occupy
more than three minutes. The motion was
carried.
The first amendment considered was one
10 change the system of representation of
the various States in the convention In
der the existing system each State or
ganization is entitled to zone delegate
and one extra delegate for every addi-
tional 100 members or fraction thereof
1t was argued that this gave some States
an undGly large representation, when the
number Of members was only a little
more than 4 hundred The amendment
failed.
The next amendment dealt with the ar
tiele of the constitution which reads:
THE business committee, the president of
each State, and one member from each
State, together with the chairman Of the
standing committee, shall constitute the
executive committee of the association"
An amendment TO strike cut the words
land one member from each State" was
then taken Up.
Miss Blackwell moved the adoption of
the amendment. Mrs. Upton spoke against
it on the ground that 1t would lessen the
State representation and place greater
burden upon the president of the State or
ganization. She said that Ohio was
pledged TO vote against 1t.
Mrs Thomas. of Maryland. spoke against
the amendment, as did Mrs. Johnson. of
Missouri, and Miss Kimber, of Kansas
Miss Shaw said that while she was per-
sonally against the amendment it was
only fair TO state that under the present
arrangement proxies not closely in touch
with the organization were so often en-
ployed as to create confusion and delay.
and she hoped that the discussion result
ing from the presentation OF the amend
unent would cause reform in this direc-
ton. The amendment was voted on and
defeated.
Then came the amendment Of Article
VII, section 4, to read: In the election
of officers each member of the convention
NAV cast one vote. An absent riember
may have her vote cast by q member OF
the convention authorized to do So"

subject ITO Secure Their Rights" He
said in part:
Our Government is not democratic but
hemicratic. 1t is not a government by
the people, but by half the people. and
not in any sense by the better half. 1t
is an andrarchy. u government by men
10 the exclusion OF women.
There can be no person of sufficient
intelligence to entitle his opinion to any
respect whatever who will deny that as
a matter of abstract justice woman has
as much right to the ballot as man. OBJ
jections to her exercise of the right are
always based what are called prin-
ciples of eSpediency. But there are no
such principles involved in questions af
fecting human rights. There is no place
for expediency until justice has been
done. and the science of government is
merely the science of justice as between
man and man.
Why Women Should Vote.
1T is sometimes argued that woman
should not vote, for the reason that she
has not the physical ability often neces-
sary to enforce the mandate Of a vote,
or, in other words, because she cannot
bear arms, or go to war. And yet for
that very reason she ought to have q
voice in the making of laws whose in
justice, If any, she is especially powerless
to resist.
And how do we know that there will be
any war when once woman shall have as
sumed her proper place and influence in
councils of the State? The great story Of
the race has been its struggles for free
dom, and what is freedom but the alb
sence of injustice? Let nations do justice
and wars shall be no more. That govern
ment which shall indeed secure to all
persons within its jurisdiction the equal
enjoyment of every natural right Will not
only have peace within its borders. but
will also be Sc strong in the might of
right that no other or foreign government
can do it any harm"
Full of Spontaneous EpiGrams.
In addition to its serious arguments.
Mr.. Crosby's speech was full of spon-
taneous epigrams, which elected frequent
bursts of laughter.
They talk about woman's inferiority of
intellect said he. II have taught school,
and 1 never saw any inferior brains in
petticoats."
They say that women ought not to
vote because they cannot fight. Now isn't
that absurd? Because she can't fight we
decree that she isn't to say anything
My friend Mr.. Foulke has referred to
equality of authority in the home. / want
10 say that there can be no question of
mastery where each is master of SELF"
"Of course, you have to prove the rights
of women over and over again. You have
TO teach Euclid over and over. People
aren't born with knowledge of the prin-
eiples of geometry"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Crosby's ad-
dress the convention adjourned until this
morning.
