Resolutions Adopted.
Following are the resolutions
adopted:
!. Resolved, that We renew our de-
mand of the legislature Tor enfran-
chisement to tax-paying women of the
state, and to that end will do all in
our power to influence the members
2. Resolved that we extend our CON
gratulations to the women of Finland
in regard to the large accession to
their parliamentary representation
thereby showing the confidence of the
people in the legislative ability of
women.
3. Resolved, that we are in cordial
sympathy with the women of England
in their efforts to win parliamentary
suffrage.
4. Resolved, that we appreciate the
results accruing from the lectures
given by Mrs. Maud Wood Park be-
fore the different colleges in Wiscon-
sin, which has served to awaken
thought in the minds of our young
people and stimulate interest in the
cause represented by her.
). Whereas, the house of represen-
tatiVes of the United States was in
tended by the trainers of our govern
ment to reflect the will of the people
and its members were therefore to be
chosen by the people: Therefore,
Resolved. that the exclusion of one
half of the people from this election,
defeats the purpose of the founders
Of our government end is a violation
Of the letter and spirit of the consti-
tuition.
Further, Resolved, that all obstruc-
ton to legislation in that body whether
by act of the speaker or of committees,
tends to destroy the integrity Of the
House of Representative and to de-
fraud the people of their right to
voice III the government.
5 Whereas J. J. Jenkins has, during
his entire term of service as chair
man of tie judiciary committee, failed
to make any report on woman SUI
frage bills submitted to that com
mittee, thus obstructing legislation on
that subject, therefore:
Resolved, that we heartily endorse
the action of the electors of his con-
gressional district in refusing to re-
dominate him for congress.
T. Whereas, there is among women
as among men a great variety OF
tastes and characters and conse-
luently a diversity of opinion on vot-
ing as on other subjects, and, whereas,
many men are Indifferent and fail to
vote at election, therefore:
Resolved, that no one can expect
of opinion on this subject
and we therefore regard all statements
OF our public men that they are in
avor of woman suffrage when all
women want it, as cowardly evas:ve
of candid men and dishon-
)rable TO those entrusted with power.
8. Resolved, that the love of the
plain people and the square deal of
President Roosevelt as well as the
demand of Mr.. Bryan that the people
shall rule are false and hollow shams
Is long as they disregard the great
act that one-half of the people are
iisfranchised cheated in wages and
subjected 10 gross wrong and Unjust
ce
8. Whereas Mr.. Carnegie and other
are making large dona-
ions to the educational institutions
If our country pensioning college
professors and endowing scholarships
for good young men" therefore:
Resolved, that We commend to the
attention of the wealthy, the teachers
Of our ward schools who are doing
noble work for education with ex-
remely small remuneration.
10. Resolved, That in the death of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Frazier, every
cause of justice and right has lost
fearless champions. and our associa-
ion two of its most valued members
