PETERSBURG. VA, November e.
Congressman Walter y. Watson to-day
by appointment. received delegation
of the Equal Suffrage League OF Nir-
Einia and the Womans Congressional
Union. The meeting WAS held in the
Council chamber The delegation was
headed by Mrs. G. Y. Meredith. Mrs
Percy Reed. OF Richmond and Miss
Elsie Hill. OF Washington. each of
whom submitted argument in behalf
of the proposed amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution providing for nation
wide equal suffrage. There were sew
cral others in the delegation, including
one or more from Petersburg. The
women were dignitiod but earnest in
presenting their arguments. and were
given close attention by Judge Watson,
who thanked them for the information
they had given him on subject which
he regarded as important. Hut. dcsir-
ing to be candid with the delegation he
stated that. while as public man
charged with the responsibility of act
ing for others. he would always keep
his mind open 10 determine public
questions Alright. yet he deemed the
question of suffrage one for each state
to determine for itself, and one of
which the Federal government should
not in any way take jurisdiction. So
that. unless reasons should hereafter
appear TO change his opinion, lie would
not favor the constitutional amend
ment. Judge Watson said that, while
he would be sorry to women as
sumo the burden of government. yet
whenever ii became manifest that the
intelligent and respectable women of
Virginia body desired to vote, he
would not stand in their way.
After adjournment the dclega-
tion was photographed. The women
marched with banner bearing the
