Municipal Suffrage Shelyed.

After ~canvassing the situation, the
Women who are back of the equal
suffrage movement in this state came
to a decision that they did not want
a municipal suffrage bill passed at this
session Of the legislature for fear that
the opposition to the equal suffrage
idea would refer the bin, and place
two different suffrage issues before
the people at the next election. one on
the constitutional ballot. the other on
the referred law ballot and that IT
would confuse the issue before the
voters. On that theory they asked
their friends in the senate to defeat
both the municipal suffrage bill by Sen.
ator Alseth, and the bill granting
woman suffrage on all issues except
for the officials which the constitu-
ton prohibits their voting for. The
issue came up on the request OF AL
seth that the bill be indefinitely post
poned. DOwdell did not want this. but
when the roll call was finally secured
on indefinite postponement the friends
Of suffrage were strong enough to u
both the municipal bills into the dis.
card, and they are ended for this SEES.
