Suffrage Vote VIII be
Reconsidered on Monday

in view of the recommendation of the
National Democrat. Committee at
St. Louis, he has declared himself
unreservedly in favor of the amend
ment, which will place the question
squarely before the electorate OF the
state to decide.
During the last legislature Senator
Jones voted for the amendment, max
ing very strong speech on the floor
of the Senate, declaring that, while
personally opposed to the vote for
women, he believed the amendment
only fair and just, as only in this
way could the sentiment of the vot-
ers of the state be determined.
This same broad spirit was indi-
Gated in the introduction of the re-
cent bill in the senate, in which Sem
ator Jones proposed that the women
of Florida be allowed to hold certain
public offices.
