STRONG POSITION FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Il have refused to take up questions
l reached them, but last fall |
reached the suffrage question in Ne
braSka. applause and laughter.D
may search my speeches and you
will never find until last fall that l
ever said a word in favor of woman's
suffray &c, except in private, and [ was
mighty careful then, because q mar
never knows when what he says in
private may become public. They sub
mitted the question Of Suf-
frage, in Nebraska, last fall, and |
have never run away from any ques-
ton when it came up for action, and
just as soon as it was submitted [ was
ready to express myself. In fact I had
been ready to express myself on the
subject for some time and as soon as
it was opportune l did express myself
and since then [ have said something
on the subject several times and you
will pardon me if I speak on the sub
ject nov
Stood By Women.
"But I do not call a convention to
find out what I must say or call a
gathering of my friends to ask what
I ought to say, for I believe that every
citizen ought to do his duty as he
| sees it. SO when the time came ]
| took my position and it was in favor
| of woman suffrage. (Applause).
Now, l know there are a great
many who do not agree with me and
nave no quarrel whatever with them,
| and I do not agree with all that the
| sunragists want to do. For instance,
| I was opposed to the submission Of
| the amendment which was proposed
in washington the other lay not hat
I object to wOman's suffrage, but be-
| cause . did not think the time was
ripe to submit it as a national prOpo-
| sition. We have WOmen'S suffrage
now in more than one-fourth Of the
States and l did not want to divert
attention upon questions other than
those upon which all the people are
ready to act
Industrial Reasons.
81 know that down here in the Sou
thern States there has not been as
much opinion expressed on the sub
iect as there has been in our States
up North, and I think there may be a
reason for this. [ think 1t possible
that there are industrial reasons which
have forced women into positions up
there more than has been done here,
and there are other reasons in the
North thai have led people to favor
woman'S suffrage that might not ope-
rate that way down here, but there
lare some reasons which are universal
in their force, and if you will pardon

here is d fear among some thai
the people might recall a man whom

sometimes people will say Well.
We will apply that to every officer but

self | have a high regard for the
office Of judge. Ny father was a
Judge. and no better Judge ever lived
than was my father. and no one has a
hlgher opinion of a judge than | have
had from my childhood up. But a
Judge Is just a human being and you
cannot purge him of ali his weakness
ses and fralltles by putting him on the
bench. | have great confidence in the
Judge who is willing to let the people
sit IN judgment on what he does. more
than [ have in the judge who is afraid
to let the people sit in judgment. Even
should they turn him out when they
ought not to do so, they would find
their mistake and put him back ana
