ripple of excitement spread over the
University OF Pennsylvania campus this
afternoon because a debate on the suf-
frage question was staged in Houston
Hall. The ripple was Just large enough
to take $50 students of the 250O in the
undergraduate departments away from
their textbooks or whatever else occupies
college students on Friday afternoons.
Miss Minnie Bronson of New York.
representing the anti" cause, spoke first.
ieaVing the last word to be said by Miss
Elizabeth McShane, OF this city.
Miss Bronson wanted to know whether
the Establishments of suffrage workers
were more appealing to other women's <
husbands than to their own. If not.
she wanted to know why suffragists did
not stay at home and convince their
husbands, thus winning the franchise
without going into the highways and
byways
Also, she scoffed at the idea of the
suffrage movement being new, by declar-
ing that 100 years before the Christian
era Cato complained that votes for-wom-
en- advocates blocked the Roman forum
Furthermore, she declared that she
had lobbied for legislative measures, and
that her bills had been passed. DESPITE
the fact she was a woman.
The students cheered Miss Bronson
cordlally' and then Miss McShane said:
'Antl-sunragists are not bad people, but
they are in bad company.
1t is impossible for a woman tn do
housework properly without the ballot
Why ask women how they will vote?
You do not ask young men of p how
they will vote"
IN conclusion she formulated the doc
trine that I'VE women are not all angels.

more nor less than Miss Bronson had been
ppplauded The students declared the de-
bate was an even break" whatever that
