A political promise Is no scrap Of

Wilson calls the moral obligation" Of
the st. Louis national suffrage plank
by adopting the Oklahoma suffrage
amendment resolution in both houses
in March Of this year.

Mrs. Lucas explains, is the Anal dis
position made of a successful meas

"Why did they permit me to do IT,"
said Mrs. Lucas. Because they knew
I understood the procedure. 1t Is my
vocation to compile, annotate and
citate laws. The legislators let me
enroll the suffrage bill because they
knew l could be trusted not to alter
a word or a line. Never was l SO

the primaries but the amendment had

WHERE THE SUFFRAGE FLAG
FLOATS
To recapitulate, the suffrage cause
has this year annexed 33S,314 square
miles of territory. Up to the end Of
1916, suffrage extended over 1906
1929 square miles, or 80 per cent. Of
continental United States. not includ-
ing Alaska. On April 22nd of this
year, the suffrage flag floated over
1,543,643 square miles, or 500 per
cent. Including Alaska, whe:: women
have suffrage on the same terms as
men. 2,134,527 square miles, or 81
per cent. Of the total possessions of the
United States, except the newly &C.
CURED Virgin Islands, r under
the banner of freedom. This area il
a long way out of the Half slave
and half free" type of democracy
which still prevails in the other 43
per cent. of the United States.
