Primary Vote For Women.
The measure which will give to tne
women Of Iowa primary suffrage
seems destined to pass both br1rches
OF the present legislature and become
a law. q
A considerable delegation Of Iowa
women was before the house elections
committee Thursday afternoon 10
speak for the bill and urge its pass
age. No special opposition to the
measure is developing.
This would give the women the
chance to vote in the primaries, eau
cuses and conventions but OF course
not in the final elections inasmuch as
the voting at the final elections 10 for
hidden in the state constitution and
can not be granted except after nav
ing been adopted by two legislatures
and voted on by the people favorably.
1t is generally thought that ma
tional suffrage is coming and That the
right to vote in the primaries in Iowa
can not be denied to the women II
they want it.
Iowa women are also considerably
interested in the nine-hour day and
safeguards for the working conditions
