.SUFFREGETTES Will ATT
TEMPT. TO REVIVE BILL

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 25.-It is gen.
orally understood that there will be no
further movement to get womans suff-
rage through this session of the legis-
lature. 1t is rumored that it will re-
Quire a two-thirds vote under the rul-
ing of the speaker to introduce a GER
! titled copy of the bill passed at the
last session of the legislature. This
practically kills the proposition, as
while it is agreed on all sides that the
suffrage supporters have majority in
the house it is as well agreed that
they cannot muster a two-thirds to
their support.
Efforts of some papers to mix Gov
ernor Hanna in the fight on suffrage
do not meet with much approval here
as it is generally understood that he
has not mixed in the game in any way
nor has he asked the support of any
of the senators for either side of the
questions. 1t is generally conceded
that the governor has plenty of other
matters to occupy his mind at the
present time. He is having on an
average of dozen bills day put up
to him and as his action is final he
