that she is still too disgruntled to exer-

Mrs. Harper condemned the action of
the national association in forcing the
suffrage bill to a vote on two grounds
that it would nulIify the impression of
the monster parade of May 9. and injure
the chances Of the bill.
Gould anything be so supremely ridi-
culous," she writes as to make all this
demonstration after the Senate has given
an adverse vote?'' Could anything be 30
supremely ridiculous as to sacrifice the
best interest of the suffrage bill for a
parade?

Some uneasiness exists at the State
Department over the approaching gen.

choice OF a president to succeed Provi-
sional President Bordas. Voting will be-
gin April l and continue three days.
Bordas is a candidate to succeed him
self. and is running against an opposi-
tion which is led by men involved in
two revolutions since the assassination
of President Caceres more than two
years ago. The opposition to Bordas is
very bitter. the charge is being made
that he has been using the powers OF
the government to perpetuate his own
rule.
Chief among the opposition is Horacio
Vasquez. who has been at the head OF a
turbulent movement for now nearly two
years
While the State Department Is anxious
lest the elections precipitate violence. il
is not taking any hand in the matter.

Southern Opposition Weakening.

In view of these facts what is there to Justify fur

Constitution? More encouragement than there ever
was before! In 1887 Democratic vote cast
for this amendment and Southern Senators would not
yield one inch of ground the rigid application of
States rights to the question At this last four
teen Democrats voted in favor; six were from equal
suffrage States leaving clear gain of eight, and three

there is growing tendency in this direction.
No feature is marked in the general progress

The resolution received every vote that
could be expected. and. in fact re-

supported it with hesitation on account

SOLONS DEFEND
SUFFRAGE CAUSE
French and Evans Address
Federal Women's Equality
Association.
THREE SESSIONS HELD
DR.. BeIva A. Lockwood Made Honor
ary President of Organizatios-Rev.
Olympia Brown Made Head.

The Federal Suffrage Association. until
recently known as the Federal Women's
Equality Association. held three sessions
this week-Monday. Tuesday and Wednes-
day-in this city. 1t was the annual
meeting One feature was an argument
by Representative Burton l.. French. Of
Idaho, for the proposed Federal suffrage
amendment in which he went deeply into
the Constitutional side of the question.
The result was that resolutions support
ing that measure were adopted.
The first session was devoted to the
suffrage amendment campaigns in North
and South Dakota. Montana, Nevada and
Nebraska. Rev. Olympia Brown. OF Wis
consin. president of the society, came
here to preside.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by the president. after which the corre-
spending secretary explained the object
of the meeting and lines OF work followed
by the association. Addresses were made
by DR.. Brown. DR.. Belva A. lockwood.
Representative John NJ. Evans, OF Mon
tana: Mrs. Clara w. MacNaughton, and
others.
Speech Marks Era.
It was the sense of the meeting that
arguments for and against the suffrage
bill in committee hearings should alter
nate but this was strenuously opposed
by advocates Of the proposed amend
ment.
Representative French has introduced a
suffrage bill in five congresses and cham
pioned it in two hearings. This was the
first time however, he had ever gone into
the Constitutional phase of the question.

movement for equal suffrage. Forty years
ago Benjamin Butler and Judge Lough-
ridge delivered their arguments on the
right of women to vote under the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments. Susan
B. Anthony acted under these amend
ments when she voted in Rochester many
years ago.
Veteran sunragist Honored.
The claim upon which the request for
the passage of the pending bill is based
is twofold, namely, that women have the
right to vote under the Constitution as II
was adopted, and that Congress has
rower under the Constitution to protect
women in this right as to the election OF
Representatives. Mr.. French went deep
ly into beth points. Other speakers for
the bill were Rev. Olympia Brown and
Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby.
The reception in the evening at the
Cairo brought together many Washing
tonians to do honor to Rev. Mrs. Brown,
whose active work for woman suffrage
dates back to the first amendment cam
paign. which took place in Kansas In
1867. Impromptu speeches were made by
Representatives Mondell and French.
Reports for the year were read. The
name of the society was changed, owing
to the two names being confused by the
public. Mrs. c. W. MacNaughton was
appointed chairman Of a committee to

November Result Promising.

At the November election the question of giving
the complete franchise women will be decided by the
voters FIVE States. 1t is win in of them,
and that will an increase in the number of United
States Senators who will support national amendment,
for it is not likely that others will follow the example
of Senator Borah, who withdrew his remarkable speech
from the Congressional Record for careful revision
Added to these political reasons the phenome-
nally increasing public sentiment is favor of
suffrage reflected inspired by the press of almost
the entire country its Endorsement by great organiza
tions of all kinds the accessons of women to the
ranks of its advocates, and is clearly evident that
these forces make themselves felt the Senate
of the United States especially is to be elected
henceforth by popular vote There should be no fur
ther effort for national amendment at this session.
The committee reported in favor the Senate discussed
and voted the question. That should settle it for
the present. the public is tired of the subject and the
Senate has other important business that needs atten
ton. The committee will undoubtedly make another
favorable report the session and this will go be-
fore the Senate with much stronger influence behind
