WOMAN SUFFRAGE

HON. C. E. DENLEY IN THE FACE
OF OVERWHELMING DEFEAT
STOOD BY THE MOTHERS AND
GOOD WOMEN FOR EQUAL
PIGHTS-THE REV. MR.
rU.KINTON VOTED AGAINST
THE AMENDMENT.

The Mississippi House of Repre-
sentatives by vote of l06 to 70
Wednesday morning defeated the
Anthony Amendment proposing
female suffrage under congressional
legislation. The vote came on Z
resolution to reject, introduced ~
Mr.. Winter of Grenada. The resolu-
ton went through with a whoop and
holler though net before good
deal of oratory had been spilled on
the subject.
The House was in an Grating
frame of mind and there were
speeches galore and several law
makers had things in their system
they wanted out.
Sometimes the House was rather
turbulent when Mr., Conner would
pound the desk and say, Let. the
House be in order" The House
would be in order for a few minutes
until three or four members started
talking at once while in dozen
parts of the room whispered conver-
sations would be in progress.
| Anthony Amendment Defeated.
The fireworks were touched Oil
when Mr.. Winter of Grenada coun-
ty sent up resolution rejecting the
Anthony Amendment and whlci
reads as follows:

lucrative business in the border
towns south of Viborg. The Firms
exact a high price, but the method

Endless trouble ensues, of course, if
the woman thus freed of Russia re-
fuses to part with her pseudo -hus-
