 WARRINGTON, May 15.-1he sen sational rate bill incident in the senate during which MT. Tillman, on the au. thority of former Senator Chandler. made statements regarding the presi. dents course in connection with pend. ing railroad rate legislation, some of which statements were denied by MT. Lodge on behalf of the president, had its sequel when an official statement was issued by the White House giving an account of the subject on the part of the president and Attorney General Moody. The president says:
 Tn no case, either In the case of MT. Chandler or any one else, was there the slightest opportunity for any honest misconception of my attitude or any belief that pledged myself specifically to one and only one amend ment or set of amendments or that would not be satisfied with any amend ment which preserved the essential fea- lures of the Hepburn bill as it came from the house."
 The president states that he became convinced that 1t was impossible for senators with advantage" to use him as an intermediary and suggested to all to whom he spoke that they communi- cate with Senator Allison, whose pur- poses and the presidents were ''identi- cal"

WRITES THE EXPRESS THAT SHE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER SEX
GIVEN RIGHT TO VOTE
EXTEND PROHIBITION LAWS
Other Things Which the Constitution
Of the New State Should
Contain.

EDITOR DAILY EXPRESS:
You ask for communications up
on the subject of the constitution
for the new state, the women of
Oklahoma will beexpected to abide
by the laws Of the state equally
with the men. Can single good
reason be given why simple justice
would not grant them a voice and
vote in the making of those laws?
In the many letters from men
which have been given upon the
subject of the constitution many
most admirable suggestions have
been made, among them praticular-
ly the desire for the initiative and
referendum. Any one who really
believes in government of the
people, tor the people and by the peo.
pler must surely favor it as one of
the most practical means of estab-
fishing a truly democratic form Of
government. Other good ideas are
given but taken altogether they
only illustrate one of the strongest
arguments in favor Of the need Of
woman's help on the formative
period of the states laws. A union
of the minds of both men and
women is needed as much in gov
erning the state as in governing
the home. Almost every one of
the letters given have suggested
laws Immediately affecting the
homes. Our schools should not
only be literally supported but we
should have a strong compulsory
education law and an equally for
chile "Child Labor" law. Women
teachers should have the same pay
as men teachers for equal work
when holding certificates of same
grade and wherever employed by
the state should receive the same
wages as ren for the same work A
civil service law especially for the
benefit of the dependents Of the
state if for no other reasons.
Indian Territory prohibition laws
should extend over the whole state.
A married woman should not only
have the same right to control and
dispose of her own property as
married man, but she should have
an equal right with the father to
the guardianship of their children.
There are many other laws which
could be named. of great impor'
tance for the protection and benefit
Of women aud children, and which
should be upon our statute books,
but I will speak Of but one other
which should especially be one Of
the fundamental laws Of our consi-
tuition. That is the right Of all per
sons over 2T years Of age who are
not included among the idiots, the
criminals and the insane, to equal
suffrage. Surley those who help
to bear the burdens Of the state
should be entitled to the same rights
and privileges. while women
are freely admitted to the tax list
and the gallows they should also
be admitted to the ballot box" L
cannot express myself more forci-
bly,, Mr.. Editor. than by quoting
your own words. It is the duty Of
every citizen to vote Are women
citizens" Again in speaking Of
! the passage Of the statehood bill

Chickasha, 1. I.
As you have kindly asked me to
express my views as to the princi-
pies which should be incorporated
into and become a part of the con-
stitution of the new state Of Okla.
homa, through the columns of
your valuable paper, viii try to
show my appreciation of the honor
this confirmed upon me by briefly
mentioning a few Of what con-
slider to be the most important
questions to be dealt with by our
people.
In is universally recognized
fact that environment and econom-
ic conditions shape. to a certain
extent every mans views, and my
lot being cast with that great and
rising class which produces the
worlds wealth it would be reason
able to infer that my ideas and
tenets are colored to haromize and
focused to correspond with the con-
ditions surrounding the wage
worker.
II I were allowed to write one,
and only one article in the constit-
ution it would contain the Initia-
tive and Referendum. The Initia.
tive is the reservation to the peo-
pie of the power Of originating leg
islation by direct vote. The re-
ferendum is the reservation to the
people Of the power, also by direct
vote. of voting the Objectionable
legislature of representatives. I'm
der this system lobbys will pass
ort Of existence and the tempta-
tions and corrupting influences
will be removed. No corporation
or combine will spend money to Sc
cure corrupt or vieious legislation
while the vote power rests in TIE
people.
In view of the fact that in many
instances public officials have fail
ed to fulfil pledges made to the
people prior to the election and
have served trusts, corporations
and combines against the best i'm
terests Of their constitutions. I
favor the imperative mandate
which reserves 10 the people the
right to recall their representatives
when he fails to comply with the
will of the majority.
Believing that the welfare and
future greatness Of this nation de-
pends largely upon the general in
tellegence of the great mass of
common people, am In favor
compulsory education where pub
lie schools are accessible.
am in favor Of eight hour day
for all public work.
Since women have been forced
into the industries in competition
with man and in view of the fact
that thousands Of them are work
ing under the most degrading con-
ditions for a mere pittance. 1 be-
lieve christian civilation should
extend to them the right to use
the power of the ballot along with
their brother workers, to defend
thcvlseives from the insidious en-
croach ntzts Of capiiaiistic greed.
Hence I am IN favor Of equal suf-
frage.
In order to protect the people cf
