the West.

Philadelphia. Nov. 2s.-Through
the defeat of constitutional amend
ment providing that the delegates
present from each state or affiliated
orga nizations shall cast the full vote

lveloped in the woman's national suf-
| frage convention.
Practically the entire day was de-
proposed amendment. the western
delegates generally supporting Miss

ton on which was deferred, provide
that the headquarters of the national
association shall not remain perman.
|ently in New York. and that no officer

who felt so much for her sex that she
had gone to the night court in New
York to furnish bail for defenseless

are politely called white slaves
II don't for minute pretend that
