SENATOR P|TTMAN ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

In 1913, Senator Pittman of Nevada
declared himself in favor of federal
woman suffrage.
In presenting to the Senate peti-
tons of Nevada women praying foi
favorable action on the Susan b
Anthony amendment, Senator Pitt
man said Uuly 81, 1919
"Mr President: | have the homo;
to present, on behalf of the womer
of Nevada, petitions in support
the joint resolution.
"While | do not intend to make
any argument in support Of it, as
do not believe it is required, and be
cause there are others who can moro
ably discuss the matter, | cannot re
frain from stating that the men of m,
state believe women should have tn,
right to vote We realize that the
publication CT the administration OF
our government is the most importan
question before the people today. We
believe that the absolute and unre
stricted enfranchisement of womer
will do more to purify our govern
ment than all of the corrupt prac.
tice bills that can be enacted into law
"On two separate occasions the leg
islature of my state has passed al
most unanimously resolution amend
ing the constitution so as to gran
to women the unrestricted and ab
solute franchise in the state. | fee
that am able to say that at the mex
election the men of the state will al
most unanimously confirm the actor
of the legislature. ask that TIL
petitions be referred to the committe
of Woman Suffrage"
In the closing days of Congress
Senator Pittman attacked Mr.. Hughe
august and 2D for "insincerity
in advocating a federal suffras'
amendment.
Senator Pittman utters no wore
of criticism against President Wilso,
| for using every effort to crush TIL
federal suffrage amendment; but h
attacks Mr.. Hughes for favoring j
"insincerely"
He also accused Mr.. Hughe
august 2l, 1870 of threatening
"cocrce the Republican party int
voting for the Susan B. Anthon,
amendments" if not, he said, Mr
Hughes declarations on, suffrage wer
fraud and deception"
, These charges were so apparentl,
unjust that Democrat. Senator Ston
of Missouri, rose to answer them.
"These women know, as we'll a
we," said Senator Stone, "that tn
power and influence of the Presiden
of the United States is very great

SUGAR FACTORY
TO OPERATE IN 1917

When Mr.. Merrill Nibley met the
Growers Committee and Lovelock
citizens at that place last Saturday
he announced that the Nevada Utah
Sugar company would run the Fal
Ion factory, beginning with the 1911
campaign This is indeed good new
for the people of this project, foi
every body is anxious to see the fac
tory started again.
While the factory people desired
a greater acreage, they felt that the
growers committee had worked dill
gently and that there was such !;
strong desire on the part of the peo-
pie of this valley to have the factory
run that they believed another year
would bring forth a much greater
acreage, and that many farmers
would materially add to the acreage
already signed for the coming year
all of which would justify them ir
taking hold of the enterprise and
carrying it through.
The people of Lovelock believe
that they will be able to secure
about 400 acres, the amount re-
quested by Mr.. Nbley from that To-
cality. Those who went to Love
lock to take the matter up with
people there, were Mayor Berney, |
II. Kent, Thos. Dolf, John Hanson
and Gen Nishiyama and Dean Knigh
of the U. of N.
While the directors of the Ne
vada Utah Sugar company had decid
ed to reject the Fallon enterprise, il
was President T. r. Cutler of the
Utah-ldaho company who came to
the recue and urged that they &c
ahead with the Nevada factory, be
lieving that the earnest work on the
part of the Growers Committee ant
the desire on the part of the people
of this community to see the factory
started. would insure it ultimate
success.
Arrangements have been made by
which Mark Austin will be succeed
ed as chief agriculturist by his bro
ther, George Austin, who will have
general charge of the Nevada field
]. M. Davis of Payson, Utah, arrived
this week to take up the matter o
securing acreage on main line points
In company with Mr.. Berney anc
Mr.. Nishiyama he went to Lovelocl
to take up the matter of signing acre
age, but on account of the uncertain
ty of water supply of the coming
year, the farmers were not willing
TO sign up at the present time. Mr.
Davis will go back there probably !!
February when the water condition

Washington, December 1S.-(Special) It's long time from King Solomon ''in all his glory" to "Jim Ham" Lewis of Illi
 nois, the first of whom was said to be royalty apparaled and the other proba- ply untaut equal in this great galaxy of states for fine clothes. But along comes J. Willard Ragsdale, representative in Congress from the Sixth South Carolina district, and, presto! the whole thing is changed, and from henceforth it's J. Will lard to whom the honor of being royalty apparaled must go? He must get the blue ribbon as the winner and hold the trophy cup until some one else comes along the highway and makes coup.
 At any rate, here's the way the thing looks at the Washington end Represen- tative Ragsdale returned to Washington last week from his home in Florence. S. C., elated jubilant and running over with good spirits because of reelection of the democrats and himself. The things that happened put him in fine fettle and he couldn't help showing his friends just how fine he and everything else were. And here it must be stated, lest it be overlooked, that if there is finer dresser in Congress next to the aforesaid Jim Ham" Lewis Senator from Illinois, and J. Thomas Heflin of Ala bama, it is this Ragsdale man from the banks of the Pee Dee river He was so full of himself that he just couldn't help saying that he proposed to beat Jim Ham" and Heflin in the congressional haberdashery stunt before they could get a start. Right here few details may not destroy the story. Heflin has mag
