bate and a large company of women,

Senator O'Neil opened the debate
with a witty and interesting plea for
the women. He was followed in op-
position, by Senator McDonough, who
said women having been given the
right to vote on school matters had
not exercised the right to any gen
eral extent. Senator Martin ap-
proved the bill because of its referen-
DUN feature. Senator Merton said
the women belonged in the home and
it was the duty of the men to attend
to things political. Senator Miller
also opposed the bill. Senator Nc
Donough said the only women who
were anxious to vote were the short
haired masculine variety who never
could get over the misfortune which
nature had put upon them when they
were born feminine.
