of the new combination to facilitate

In the meantime, according to the
Matin, the reorganization of the

essentially administrative question,
will not be settled until after the new
government elects the Chamber of
Deputies on Tuesday.
"In addition to forming a war

in the interest Of the economic OF

PALMETTO WOMEN
WILL SEEK BALLOT
Those in Favor of Equal Suffrage
Will Take Question to
Legislature.
: PLAN TO INTRODUCE BILL
Will Ask for Referendum TO Let
Voters of South Carolina
Decide.
PLAN TO INTRODUCE BILL

Columbia, Dec. 12.-Equal suffrag-
lists are planning the introduction of
a bill in the approaching session of
the General Assembly for a refcrcn-
dunn on the matter of pranting to wo
men the right Of the ballot 1t is
not known who will sponsor this bill
in the two houses but every indica-
ton points to it being pushed with
all vigor.
The Democratic State Convention
at its session last May endorsed wo-
men suffrage and this will be used
as one of the arguments by the pro-
ponents of the proposed referendum
They will call on the members of the
General Assembly to redeem the
promises made in the platform of the
State Democracy to give the women
the vote or at least to submit the
question to the qualified electors of
the State. The Legislature is mani-
mously Democratic in both branches
and the State convention represented
the party in the State rs pointed out
by the advocates Of equal suffrage
and the voice of Democracy spoke for
giving the ballot to the women.
Equal suffrage in South Carolina
has grown rapidly in the last few
years. In the last Legislature the
House came within ten votes of pass
ing the bill submitting the equal suf-
frage referendum to the people and
it is believed that the proposition may
receive majority in the lower
branch in the Seventy General
Assembly. The attitude of the Sen
ate is more uncertain and if the qucs~
ton is acted favorably on by the
House it will probably strike snag
in the Senate unless there is change
in what is believed to be the scnti-
ment of the elder body.
Governor Manning has not indicat-
ed his stand on the equal suffrage is
sue and whether or not he will touch
on 1T III his annual message to the
Legislature remains to be seen. 1t is
probable that he may have something
to say.
There is hardly any opposition to
the proposition to amend the Consti-
tuition 50 as to give the women the
right to hold the office of school trus-
tee and notary public. This amend
mcnt was proposed in the last Leg
lslaturc and defeated by 1t small mar
gin. 1t will be offered again and if
pushed properly will get favorable
action.
South Carolina believes in handling
the votes for women matter by the
State and is practically unanimously
opposed to the proposed federal
amendment along this line.

GERMANY WANTS PEACE

"ln the course of conversations he
had with prominent men on Saturday
and Sunday Premier BRAND announc-
ed that he intends to give free hand
to the ministers, under-secretarics
and directors determining the part of
the new ministry. The most absolute
powers will be granted to them and if
1t is found the new methods meet re-
sistance or that certain habits arc
persisted, these orders will be further
increased and drastic measures taken.
The composition of the new combina-
tion will clearly show the new spirit.
1t will be the most complete possible
reconstruction as will be seen when
their names are published"
Exciting Session.
There was tumult in the Chamber
of Deputies today during the discus
sion of the military appropriations
bill, when the Socialist deputy, Pierre
Brizon, declared Frenchmen should
no longer fight to assure the posses
sion of Constantinople to Russia.
"You're traitor" wa yelled at Mr.
Brizon by numerous deputies.
NJ. Bribon's colleagues endeavorcd
to quiet him but without avail and
daring the excitement he threw a
water glass at the heads of the dep
uties in a semi-circle before the sec
retary's desk. Thcreupon suspen-
sion Of the sitting was ordered.
M. BriZon was hooted by the entire
chamber as he moved alone to his
place among the Socialist seats, which
mostly had been vacant during the
tumult. After the chamber had re-
convened it was announced that M.
BriZon having outraged the assembly,
the chamber would consider an appli-
cation for his temporary exclusion
M. Brizon, demanding the right to
be heard, on the application of the
rule, declared that NJ. Bouge had
gravcly insultcd him by asking chow
much did you receive from Germany
to do the work to which you are ap-
plying yourself?"
