subject, we extend the challenge to
any other member OF the senate or
any number of members Of the SEN
ate. We do not wish to overlook or
in any way slight any gentleman who
thinks he has very good reason for
opposing our pleas for equal rights,
and we do wish to inform legislators
and the public generally as to the need
and justice of victory in our cause.
Under ordinary circumstances gov
erning debates, Miss Rankin would
have the opening argument and brief
period for closing. However, we are
perfectly willing to leave the question
of time division to you, any other gen.
tleman who might consent to debate,
or to Governor Trammeu or President
Drane.
If all the senators who oppose equal
suffrage desire to express their views
on the subject, why we would be glad
indeed to have them give ten-minute
talks, with Miss Rankin replying to
their arguments in an hour or an
hour and a half.
In fact, we are SO certain that our
cause is an absolutely just and I'M
answerable one that any division of
time that has a semblance to fair
ness is acceptable to us.
1t will be absolutely necessary for |
the ladies of our delegation to return
to their homes within a very few /
days, as each member has household |
duties which demand her daily at
tention, and therefore we will appre
ciate an Immediately reply to our
challenge and the immediate naming
of date and place for holding the
or geuUTemeu OF the seudUe wvro
elected by the people of Florida, to
whom you will have submitted a num-
Der of less important constitutional
before the present ses-
sion ends. You have the privilege
opposing equal suffrage, If you choose,
but we do not believe you have the
privilege of refusing the people of
the people Of Florida
right to express their views at the
polls. In the debate we would like to
have this explained.
We do not think for a moment that
you or any other gentleman of the
senate will wish to avoid an open
discussion of so absorbing a topic
one which means so much TO man
kind as well as womankind-and take
1t for granted that you will accept
this challenge or appoint some other
able debater in your place.
Hoping for an immediate reply and
thanking you and the other gentle
men of the senate for the very courte-
Gus treatment accorded us, we are

senators who are opposed to the
talks and allowing Miss Rankin an
hour or an hour and a half in which
to respond. Whether the defy" will
be accepted remains to be seen, as the
challenged senators had not replied
this morning.
That a majority of senators will
vote in favor of the submission Of the

possible in order to get the necessary
three f1fths vote. which will allow
