After the House adjourned Repre-
sentative Smith was overwhelmed
with congratulations from numerous
suffragists in the gallery who had
been watching things on the floor be-
low.
Mr.. Smith, although hampered and
rebuffed by parliamentary practices
embarrassing in the extreme, never
gave up his contest until he had put
the job over.
The suffragists were jubilant over
their victory, even though it did come
at the very last minute.
Had the House refused the petition
asked Wednesday, the suffragists had
determined to meet on the Capitol
steps and to invite Governor Slaton
to address them,

against the Legislature.

address the meeting Wednesday night
