REFUSES TO CALL
A SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Denies What Is Be-

Sufragists
Remains Consistent With First Stand
He Took

Governor Holeomb gave his an
swer Monday night to what is believed
win be the final request Of suffragists
70 nave him call a special session Of
he legislature to consider ratification
# the federal suffrage amendment.
The following letter written to Miss
katherine LudinQton, president Of the
Connecticut Woman's Suffrage Assoc
citation. clearly sets forth the COVER
aog S attitude in the matter.
70 Hiss Katherine LudingtoH, Presi-
dent Of the Connecticut Woman
Suffrage Association.
Subject Special Session to act upon
lhe Federal Suffrage Amendment.
TIE arguments presented at the
sea as last Friday and at the several
areI Us hearings prove that among
many women and some men IN this
nd other states who believe in wo-
man suffrage there is strong desire
that a special session Of the General
Assembly be called to act upon the
federal suffrage amendment and not
wait until the regular session next
January; but these arguments do not
prove or tend to prove the existence
( the special emergency mentioned
ia our Constitution which IS the only
authority given the governor to call a
special session
The claim made and urged at Fri
lays hearing that there should be
such special session because special
sessions were called to enable our
soldier electors to vote at the Mexican
border and in the late war has no
force. The distinction is clear. Our
soldier electors were called from the
state by the national government. The
special emergency was, that except
for a special session they would have
been deprived Of exercising the cleo
toraI rights they then had, where
as in the present case the special SEES
sion IS sought with the hope that
thereby women will acquire electoral
privileges they do not now possess.
Ny conception Of the constitutional
limitation of the authority of the gov
ernor compels me to decline to call
special session as you request

Governor.

''Swabbing" consists Of drawing oil
from well by means of long bucket
with valve in the bottom, which au-
tomatically closes with the weight
Of the oil when the bucket begins to
rise. The bucket is made to fit snug
IL by means of rubber or some other
material, creating considerable sue
ton.
The idea for swabbing is to get the
oil in the strata of new well to
begin to flow into the hole, opening
channels in the oil bearing strata,
creating cavity at the bottom of the
well, and, in short, developing the
flow. This practice is quite general
in the fields around Wichita Falls.

wells produce, is gas saturated with
the volatile constituents of crude oil,

obtained from such gas. No gaso-

difficult, to secure cylindrical shape.

A "wet hole" is where the drilled

salt water is one reason why drillers
