SUFFRAC|STS CONF|-
DENT OF VICTORY
Large Delegation Of Lobbyists at
Austin for the Vote on
Engrossment.
(By Associated Press)

Austin, Tex, Feb. 2S.-Confident of
victory. prominent suftragists filed
the House lobbies this afternoon for
the vote on engrossment of the Bur.
meister woman suffrage resolution.
Its opponents say the real fight is not
to be made until the final passage.
Governor Ferguson signed the anti
election betting bill, also the bill for
bidding railroads moving offices,
shops and roundhouses without the
consent of the Railroad Commission.
Representative Biggers of Lubbock
offered his resignation because one
of his committees, he claims, reported
a bill without giving him chance to
be heard.
The House killed the resolution for
reducing the Legislature membership,
postponing it indefinitely.
Mr.. Biggers says financial reasons
caused his resignation.
