fight OF the suffragists to get official
recognition. To accomplish this end II
will be necessary for the expressions OF
the council to be so strong as to affect
the appointments on the next committee
on resolutions which will pass on all
questions submitted for tho consideration
OF the general body.
The battle OF the women over the suf-
frage question is really resumption OF
the fight begun two years ago In san
Francisco when resolution bearing on
the matter died In committee The main
point OF the fight In the council meeting
tomorrow will be to abridge the power
OF the committee on resolutions so that
1t may be possible TO bring certain reso-
lutlons before the convention II a suf-
ficiently large majority of the delegates
demand such action The suffragists say
II they can take the fight to the floor OF
the convention they have won their battle.
The discussion OF the topic will be led
by Mrs. George o, WEIGH OF Minnesota
ant Mrs. c. H. McMahon Of Utah.
Another topic up for consideration In
