This Is not exactly test vote. but
it give, a pretty good idea as 10 how
the representatives line mp on the
equal suffrage matter.
The 5S who voted TO table the reso.
-1UrtOT can nearly an be REASONABLY
counted as favorable 10 the submits
sion OF the woman suffrage amend
ment to the male voters in November,
and Il Is also reasonably concedable
that this progressive movement has
but few friends among the 80 who
voted nay.
However. Rep Lord, who is count
ed as favorable. was not present
owing 10 being called 10 his home in
Detroit by telegram announcing the
serious Illness OF his wife.
II seems that there is a very good
prospect that the promoters OF the
double suffrage cause will be able 10
secure the necessary 81 votes when
the matter comes TO final vote.
Rep. Flowers moved that the rules
be suspended and the suffrage meas
ure be made special order for . this
afternoon. The motion was lost, as
but IS were counted as being up"
and that was two short OF sufficient
or the required two-thirds OF those
present.
motion was made TO reconsider
the vote and on reconsideration and
with a yea and nay vote the resolu-
ton was carried By 80 TO 4. Here Is
the male quartet out OF tune with the
progressive majority: Reps. Holland.
Millikin, Stevenson and Warner.
And so the fight will be on AT
, p NJ. Thursday
The suffrage bill was previously
read and considered in committee OF
the whole with Rep. Woodruff in the
chair and favorably reported.
A message was read from the
governor asking for the consideration
OF bill TO amend the law in regard
TO the building of armories.
The bill was introduced by Rep.
Yaple, who moved TO have the rules
suspended and the measure placed on
the general order.
The resolution was lost and the bill
was referred 10 the committee on
military affairs.
There seems to be real demand
for This armory law in number OF
quarters where state money is want
ed for armory purposes.
Speaker Baker made a real hit with
the house, wednesday afternoon, and
Was given a hearty glad hand
At the morning session he had
ruled that the house rule stipulating
that all bills must be printed and in
prior 10 final action, did not apply TO
the extra session. He announced that
he had investigated the matter, had
found that he was in error and he had
no hesitancy in backing sp.
The senate didn't do great deal
in the afternoon, but did pass the bill
To prohibit brewery-owned saloons by
the very decisive vote OF 20 TO 4. The
bill as passed has a few teeth left In
each jaw and some OF them seem TO
be opposite each other. While Attor-
ney Marsh is not very enthusiastic
about the bill. he spoke as though he
thought IL would help some In the re-
form line.
This is the Taylor bill in the sen
ate or the Ball bill in the house and
prohibits brewery owned saloons, but
permits brewery-mortgaged saloons.
Ii was also amended 10 provide that
saloonkeepers could own stock in
breweries and this protects the in
terests of the independent brewing
companies made up of saloonkeepers
who manufacture their own beer.
The anti-brewery bill was carried
by the following vote:
