Guthrie, Okla, May 14.-That the
refusal of Territorial Secretary Filson

copies of the constitution and election

convention, embodies a substantial ev-
idence Of the purpose of republican

clared by the Oklahoma democratic
central committee and other party
leaders. The secretary's attitude, with
the stand taken by Gov. Frantz, in re-
fusing to issue an election proclama-
ton until the original parchment copy
of the constitution is filed, has driven
democratic party men to warm state
ments. There is no indication of a
solution of the deadlock.
Gov. Frantz has reiterated his de-
termination not to call the election
until President Murray gives up the
original constitution. The democratic
leader is equally as emphatic in his
assertion that he will not turn the
documents over to the republican of.

is contained in a 2,000-word statement,
in which ne says ''the conspiracy
Matched by republican office holders to
defeat statehood for Oklahoma and In.
dian Territory is blatant and palable
to serious-minded voters"
When the original constitution

dent, to which it was entrusted by the
delegates, the convention ceases to ex

the democratic leaders wish to avoid

Rature's Barriers to
Won1an's Suffrage
By MISS CATHERINE E. CONWAY.

ers on political topics, the benefcent influence of many women quietly
exercised in times of public stress and strain, albeit they have no desire
for the suffrage is a personal possession, are against sweeping depreca-
tons of feminine intelligence in this matter.
If the exercise of unrestricted suffrage on the part of women involved
no more-to quote a favorite illustrations from many of its advocates
than the putting of a letter in the mai. box it would be hard to press q
case against it,
But the extension of unrestricted suffrage would logically involve the
extension of eligibility for political office to women. AS one who has had
from earliest years more than ordinary opportunity to study the effects
of political campaigning and competition for elective office among men,
and in recent years among women for such offices IS are open to usu under
GU. restricted suffrage, the writer should for womens and for humanitys
sake protest against any enlargement of our opportunities to vote.
The question of divinely appointed function, and consequently of
difference in physique, lies at the root of the matter. We have not and
we never an have the physical strength of them a expressed in muscle
and bone. Then our mental outlook is different. Our parisanship is
more intense and exhausting. 1t is well nigh impossible for the most of
us to exclude our personal feelings from the consideration of impersonal
matters Our emotions 1end our hearts. Our oversenstive consciences
would often persuade us that a sudden change in a political programme
involved more or less of moral obliquity on the part Of those making it;
whereas there might be no question Of right and wrong, but only of en-
trdy jushfable opporuneness or expediency.
What woman can safely add to her ordinary domestic duties, or the
night Of speechmaking whether us candidate OF candidates supporter,
with the swift alternating strains of hope and fear, the quick resentment
Of inevitable personal attack from the opposition, and all the rest, which
wear severely even on the comparatively insenshe fiber of men?
Let us not deude ourselves here. We cannot eat our cake and keep
it. The moment we descend into the ranks of seekers for elective Office
and thither we should go the day after our attainment of unrestricted
sufrage-we should lose the chivalrous consideration which men in gem
eral give to women as women. For we should be contending against men,
and the commoner masculine element, which will always be the majority,
would see US not only as rivals, but as rivals who had no business on the
ground.
Our opportunity to put conscience into politics is in whatever per-
sonal influence we can exercise on a- &
tual and potential voters. Direct par // n y \
will not improve politics, but will of kv r.
a certainty injure women.

set apart once a year for a kind of afectionate communion with those
who have passed to the life beyond has grown, so that Memorial day has d
significance for thousands of persons who do not recall any memories of
those four years of that stupendous struggle for our national existence.
Yet, IS the lines of the union are drawn closer and closer, as this
great nation becomes even more firmly welded in all its parts, the original
significance of Memorial day will be deepened.
When the last participant in the war for the union, and when the last
son and daughter of any participant in that struggle, have passed away,
Memorial day, Union day, if we please to call it such, will still survive,
because the memory of those who saved the union will have become not
less, but more precious, to every true American. And even in those
regions from which were drawn the brave soldiers who fought on the other
side, it must be that the future will observe the growth of as strong a
sense of the value of the victory for the union as ever was the sentiment
for secession.
1t is, therefore, certain that the memories which Memorial day was

The idea in itself was one that naturally appealed to everj
