some day be visited upon innocent
children OF the accused.
/ Senator Mapes insisted that the
contents OF the governors message
were not consistently subject 10 blue
/ penciling censorship at the hands OF
the senate and that IL was none OF
THE senate's business what the gov
ernor said I'm his oiliciai communities
lions. He said that tho constitute m
had delegated certain duties 10 the
governor and certain duties TO the
senate. and that II was entirely be-
yond the jurisdiction OF the senate O.
attempt 10 punctuate0 the governor s
messages or dictate what he should
say or how he should say IL. or words
To that effect.
Senator Moriarty then got up and
Grated a few. He was not in favor
OF tearing down the character OF any
man in Michigan or elsewhere. He
declared IN tones OF thunder kind that
II this thing were permitted to go on,
the president OF the senate or any
member OF the senate might be at
tackled tomorrow.
Senator Taylor said he was in
favor OF the resolution, no matter
whether the charges made by the gov.
ernor were true or false. and Senator
kingman arose to throw something al
the chief executive.

! The gubernatorial matter had only
disappeared around the corner wher
IN jumped the equal suffrage PROPOSE

as though il scented success.
Senator Miller moved substitute
tc delay the vote on the proposed
equal suffrage constitutional amend
ment from the fall of 1912 TO The
spring Of 1913.
Senator Newton wanted to know
1.-The reason
Senator Miller argued that there
was so much doing on the occasion o
a presidential election that the voters
would not give the suffrage matte
proper consideration
Senator Rosecrans thought the pres
idential election time the right time
because there would be big vote on
and he wanted full male vote OF
the question.
Senator Miller was characteristic
and stood firm and pat. Not only tina
and notwithstanding the fact that h
had previously voted for the measure
he served notice that II the senat
wouldn't adopt his amendment d
would have TO vote against the Dill.
| And even then the equal suhrag
proposition refused to get cold feet
Senator Moriarty pleaded for NOR
elaboration in the consideration o
this important matter and said tina
he wanted to vote for 1t.

But there was absolutely nothin
doing in the scare or blum or amend
ment or proscrastination line.
The woman suffrage question ha
struck its victory gait, had its heat
up and steam up and nothing coul
stop 1t.
With a nerve and defiance that de
mands admiration, the steam role
was ruthlessly run over Senator Mi
Ter, his amendment and his one vot

Gracious what a dareness.
With the Miller and Moriarty SUI
