 The committee on suffrage and elections recommended in major if, haf D I suffrage. do pass, a minority report recommended that it be placed on the calendar of the committee of the whole. The question of adopting the minority report came up and the discussion was on for the day. Mir. WOrsley delivered an address that used up the rest of the forenoon, in support Of the measure. It was a very able talk and went over the suffrage question from every angle and viewpoint he could conceive An occasional story or joke enlivened the proceedings but for the most part MT. Worsley confined himself to argumentatiye lines with here and there an oratorical outburst that till- ed the corridors of the capitol with about as much racket as the wind was kicking up outside, and it was d pretty windy day too.
 The senate took the usual monday intermission and reassembling it was found that Mir Vessel was absent. Knowing the house was closely di- vided and something was likely to happen at any minute, .Mr Lovin moved a call of the house IL took half hour to round up the missing member who was absent through no desire to delay the game. when the oratory was continued where il left off before recess.
 Mir Hubbell made a strong talk in favor of suffrage and in the course of it dwelt on the importance of carrying out the provisions of the constitution. Later he was chided for being so thin skinned about a constitution he had worked so hard to defeat. but he retorted that il is now the law of the land and he is q law abiding citizen. It is now his not.
 pr. Sims of Cochise talked at length against suffrage and from many view points. He said he did not believe the constitution intended the legislature to take up these mat ters that are not of a partisan na- ture and for that raason the initiative had been provided where the people on small petition without the com- plication of partisan bias could bring such laws into being without the help of the legislature. He believed that the forcing Of such bill through the body was the taking of an unfair advantage of the members, by those who favored it as well as by the suffrage leaders. But as the question came squarely before him he would meet il by declaring his convictions against the measure and would oppose it as hard as he could and take the consequences.
 MT. Roberts seemed to feel the same way about it and stated more over that he had met the leader of the suffrage movement in his county and she had congratulated him that the matter could be settled through the initiative without involving any political party. MT. Chase also spoke seemingly in favor of suffrage but voted against it most vehemently. Incidentally he essayed some humor- ous figures and comparisons C. B. Wood and others supported the measure and the vote to accept the minority report was lost by a score of 9 to 10. This was followed by a vote on the acceptance of the ma jority report to indefinitely postpone and it was carried by the following roll call:
 Ayes-Breen. Chase, Harrison. Kinney, Lovin. Roberts. Sims, Wes- sel, Homer Wood Mfr. President. to- tai 10.
