SARGENT. Neb.. Feb. g.-1'o the Editor
OF the Bee: In your valuable paper of
February 5, page 2, are two articles
which seem very inconsistent, one to the
other.
The first Demos Formally Declare
Suffrage is a state Issue" This article
states that the democratic party was
formally placed on record as opposed TO
national legislation conferring the right
OF suffrage on women.
Majority Leader Underwood. among
other things. is quoted as saying: III
there is one single question that the
democratic party is committed 20. 1t s.
that the franchise should he controlled
by individual states" Congress looks
upon woman suffrage az Of insufficient
national moment for its consideration.
In the next column is the second article
referred to: Asks Drastic Diverse
Law" This article refers to proposed
constitutional amendment. Enactment
Of uniform marriage laws for all states
and territories, with provision for separa-
ton without permission to remarry,
would be directed by the amendment. 9"
Now, we wonder what Mr. Underwood
and our democratic congress win do
about this?
Is 1t OF sufficient moment to occupy
their attention?
Are women justified in wishing to vote
on these laws?
| II so. why not expect permission from
the party that stands for local self
| government
! This is a free 90 county, where one
! half the human beings must obey the
laws made by the other half. interpreted
by the other half and executed by the
other hall.
! We thank God there are fair-minded
men in all states. Nearly one-fourth OF
our states have enough such men to grant
justice TO human beings. regardless to
sex. and have already done 50, by sane
/ tioning and granting equal suffrage.
Congress is opposed to national legis-
lation comforting the right Of suffrage
on women. VIII congress be opposed to
! national legislation comforting laws gov
! orning marriage and divorce for these
same women?
Or will Il confer in this case without
the petitions. consent or approval of the
women to be governed?
