Inside Reason For
The Bill Against
Preposterous Hats
Suffragettes at Chicago
Capitol in the Way
of the Legislators

CHICAGO, April 24.-The real reason
for the anti big hat bill introduced in
the legislature by Representative
George c. Hilton has come to light.
The informant is Mrs. Hilton herself,
and, moreover, she does not agree with
her husbands views.
Il was down in Springfield" she
says. while the suffragist people We're
there. Many Of them wore such big
hats that it was impossible for the
members of the legislature to get
around
I think that those big hats did more
damage TO the cause OF woman suf-
frage than anything else that hap
pened there. The poor legislators were
always humping their faces against
big straw hats or scratching them
selves on feathers or long hat pins.
Legislators, when interviewed
acknowledged that the information
was correct
