The senate victory was won after sew
eral anti-suffrage senator's made vitu-
perative attacks on the women urging
ratification.
Senator Gambler was the main anti.
ratification orator
Speaker Todd rebuked him sharply for
some Of his statements.
The house action is a victory for anti
| suffrage forces who have been seeking
with desperation for delay, believing de-
lay will give them time to solidify their
forces and block ratification.
Gov. Roberts sat near the senate
speaker as the vote was called.
The senate adjourned till 10 a. m. Mon
day.
The legislature has a legal and moral
right to act" the report of the committee
on constitutional amendment to the sen
/, ate declared.
Inhibitory clauses in the state con-
stitution are invalidated by the United
States constitution, It was argued
The report expressed the view that
suffrage is at hand" and may be de-
layed, but can not be defeated.
The minority report was tabled when
an effort was made to adopt It.
The vote was % to 10.
When the suffrage resolution was
brought up for passage a point OF rder
was made by Senator Mcfarland.
The chair overruled the point and an
appeal was taken.
The senate sustained the ruling Of the
speaker
The vote was y to g.
It was another victory for suffrage.
SPEAKER OF HOUSE
AROUSES WRATH.
Speaker Seth Walker Of the house had
a personal hand in forcing the decision
Of delay by the house committee.
BY virtue of his Office of speaker he
is a member ex-officio OF every commit
tee. a privilege Of which he rarely avails
himself.
He attended the meeting Of the con-
stitutional amendment committee last
night and voted to hold over until Non
day night he also is understood 70
have prevailed Upon one Of his staunch
adherents IN the committee to hold with
him.
Suffre gists are bitter at what they
term the speakers unprecedented action.
The house has the power TO call any
resolution back from committee and act
on 1t, it only takes a majority vote TO
do this, and the same majority vote
which would pass the ratification resOlu-
tion would be able to call it back from
committee
The house also would be able to act
on the senate resolution, when passed
By that body and reported to the house.
This would involve a suspension of the
rules.
( What steps ratification leadership Ia
the house will take to force a decision
there today were the subject OF confer
enees lasting far into the night without
decision.
The public hearing last night before
the two committees which have the res
Olutions in charge. brought forth one of
the most brilliant displays of oratory
seen IN the capitol.
The house chamber was packed to tbs
caves with legislators and spectators.
practically all OF whom were wearing
the suffrage yellow or the anti red.
