VERMONT WOMEN FAIL TO
AGREE ON RIGHT TO VOTE

en- in that State. in an eloquent speech
of 10 minutes outlined the claims of
women to the suffrage.
Mrs. Il. d. Brookes Brown of Burling-
ton opened the case for the anti-suffra-
gists. She said that statistics showed
that only eight per cent. of the women OF
the country desired the suffrage and she
believed a fair percentage was even
smaller in Vermont. She presented Miss
Minnie Bronson, former special agent OF
the department of labor. VINO presented
her reasons for not believing In making
additions to the already overburdened
electorate. Miss Bronson's most telling
points were those showing the failure of
accomplishment in the States having
| woman suffrage.
Mrs. Fanny II. Rastall. formerly of
Kansas and now of Manchester. took up
the sufrragist cause. Mrs. Janks. presi-
| lent of the equal suffrage association OF
Concord. n. H.. closed the discussion.
At the close of the speaking the chair
| man of the Senate committee called for
rising votes of women present. First
! those who wanted to vote were asked
to stand. Eighty-five arose. Then those
who did not wish to vote were called
upon in the same way. Ninety-cight stood
up. Lastly n vote of the Indifferent was
called for and 81 were counted.
The suffragists claim that the count
was not correct and that the vote really
showed a majority in their favor. They
rely for this on the admission of Lieu
tenant-Governor +. T.. Howe, who was
| at the speakers desk. to the effect that 1t
is extremely difficult to count a standing
vote correctly.
