Vetoes Woman Suffrage Bill.
Governor McGovern has vetoed the
Glenn bill permitting people to vote on
the subject of woman suffrage at the
fall election of 1914 There is still an
other woman's bill in the legislature,
which was laid on the table at the re-
quest Of Assemblyman Hans M. Laur-
sen. 1t is now proposed to take this
hill from the table and make 1t con-
form with the objection raised by the
governor in vetoing the Glenn DILL
The governor points out that the state
defeated the subject of woman suf-
frage by an Overwhelming vote last
fall and suggests that ito resubmt
precisely the same question to the
NDLGIS
ton cannot be justified.
If there be a reconsideration or the
vote upon this matter taken last fall'
says the governor in his veto, II
should be later and. at an election
where the popular vote will be equally
large and inclusive. No other course
will prove in the end either sausfac-
tory or defensible. There is nothing to
prevent the present legislature from
doing this by providing now for the re-
submission of this question at the
presidential election in 1916. II this
bill so provided | should sign it; but
cannot approve it in its present FORM
