creation of a new committee was inef-
fectiye.
A week ago the Democrats of the COM
mittee met in conference and rejected
the plea 70 the suffragists. Mr.. benroot,

this action to-day when the Rules Com
nittee assembled to take up several
pending matters Representatives Len
root and Campbell, Republicans; Foster,

favor of the creation Of a suffrage com
mittee. Representatives Hardwick, Pou.
