Votes for Women.

Votes Tor Women.
The woman suffrage bill was given
a second reading by the Senate and
thus gets one step nearer to getting
before the voters of the State at a
special election next September. The
bill will be given its third reading
and in all probability will be unani
mously passed.
AS soon as it is passed the suffra-
gists of the State will get busy and
try to convince the men that women
should be allowed the right of suf-
frage. 1t promises to be a lively cam
paign.
