To the suffrage lobby that had been

Developments in connection with
the suffrage bills were smooth and

only IL dissenting voices, while In
the house there were only 20 against

said Mrs. Josephine Sarles Simpson, or
Minneapolis, who spoke on Suffrage
this morning at the Tri-State Grain
Growers convention, in expressing to
a Forum representative her joy at the
partial suffrage victory just won in
this state. This Is because North Da-

women can be.
Mrs. Simpson thinks that the infiu-

in the North Dakota legislatures ac-

termed after those that won in Illinois,

as by the limits of the constitution of
Minnesota they cannot obtain more. All
blank votes are counted as against a
proposed referendum, and to gain their
issue that way means stupendous and
endless work, so the work of that state
is being concentrated this year upon
efforts to obtain a federal amendment.
In this connection it is an interesting
fact that only one amendment to that
constitution has been carried, and to
that, one regarding reforestation, there
was no opposition, despite which fact
its friends are said to have spent the
sum OF $400, 900.
Mrs. Simpson, who is the guest of
Mrs. Elisabeth barrow O'Neil while
here, will be in Fargo until Thursday
morning, when she leaves to fill a
speaking date in her own state.
