The SPEAKER: This resolve in on

Mr. NEWBERT of Augusta: Mr..
Speaker, l have said in this House all
that / intend to say upon this resolve.
and l rise now simply to re-affirm the
position which l took in this House.
last Wednesday, and ask this House
to look soberly upon this resolve. 1t
is on its final passage, and you will
have no other opportunity to express
your conviction. | am willing at any
time in this House to support n re-
solve referring this great question to
the women of our State; and when a
majority of the women of our State
have expressed a desire for suffrage I
will not give my support and my vote
to the passage of resolve submitting
the question to the legal voters of this
State. | speak again, gentlemen. for
10000 women of Maine, who are not
asking for suffrage and who have not
been here, who are not now here and
who will not come here To my mind
this question is too momentous in its
consequences to the women of our State
for me or for you to play politics with.
| am naturally suspicious when | find
on the floor of this House men of the
two great parties who are willing to
stultify a conviction | am naturally
suspicious in my mind when | see pol
iticianS of the two great parties trim
ming their sails to catch the new pass
ing breeze. willing to exploit the women
of our State instead of having them
lifted up, creating a situation where
they will come down to our level.
