how she almost wished she hadn't.
It had brought back so forcibly the
things she was trying to forget She
sat looking into space for long time
after he had gone. People came and

II was Tim sullivan who met an
objection by President Cleveland to
pet bill with the remark whats

While speaking about that old and
much-abused document, It may be
well TO cite the attitude OF the peo-
pie who are demanding a national
law for suffrage. They say in eff
feet: whats the framework of
the federated republic between us
and what we want?"
During the recent agitation OF the
suffrage cause in Washington, Rep
resentatlve Miller OF Minnesota said
he would vote for suffrage in his
state but could not favor 1t as a ma
iional proposition. Here are his
words taken from the congressional
record
Il have been studying the proceed
ings of the constitutional convention,
aud / have found that the one proVl-
sion ON which there was no cnmpfo-
mise was that giving the states the
right to provide the qualifications
of voters The states know their
rights, not only In this matter but N
others. and have exercised them le-
gally through the enactment OF To-
cal laws,
In the long run, the proposal of
this amendment to the states would
make no difference in the result, or
nearly none. BY the time II was
ratified by three-fourths OF the
states, those states would have ex-
erosed their constitutional rights to
grant suffrage TO women, and that
grant would carry the right TO vote
in national elections II is more than
probable that many states would
grant suffrage that would not favor
forcing il upon states that did not
want It. because ratification would
have The profound effect of denying
To the minority of states the right TO
regulate their own suffrage.
Furthermore, il will he long time
before the southern states grant the
ballot to women. The south changes
slowly and there are few women.
pnd stll fewer men, in that section
of The nation who wish TO see tho
ballot in the hands OF the women.
