piled, "and help me lick the 2 per

we will make government an agency

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. 14.-By
votes of 216 to II in the House and SO
to 0 in the Senate the Connecticut Leg
islature this afternoon ratified the Fed
eral suffrage amendment. This action
was taken in disregard Of Governor
Holcomb's instructions that the Legis-
rature should confne itself to chang
ing the state laws for new women vot-
ers, as stated in his convening procla-
nation. The Governor warned that
legal complications might ensue if the
legislators did not wait for the second
special session, which he called at noon
to meet next Tuesday.
After the vote on suffrage the AS
sembly suspended the rules and con-
sidered other legislation. Bills were
passed appropriating s350.000 for new
dormitories at the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College and making World
War veterans eligible for admission to
the Old Soldiers Home at Neroton.
This afternoon the Judiciary Com
mittee held an extended hearing on
bills changing the inadequate period
for registering new voters, abolishing
the plan of lists of voters to be
made" making Election Day legal
tralian ballot system if enough new
voting machines cannot be obtained in
time. The committee considered other
election measures.
Suffragists Join in Cheers

hundreds of suffragists Joined, ad-
o'clock. The leaders plan to have all
controversial matters settled by that
time, SO that in the one hour given
they will have passed all the necessary
business and adjourned sine die by
noon.
Then, without leaving their seats
the legislators will be reconvened in
another special session called by the
Governor. There being no serious op-
position to the course, they again will
ratify the suffrage amendment as re-
quested by the Governor.
The special session scheduled for
noon to-day was late in converting
The Governor, accompanied by John
Buckley, his adviser, appeared to ad-
dress the members and almost upset
all plans. He advised the legislators
to postpone any statutory changes
contemplated until they had ratified
the amendment next Tuesday. He
said:
~ have included in the new call for
a special session, not only the business
of ratifying the amendment but also
changing the laws for the admission
of Women electors.
"In my opinion new laws should
follow and not pxecede ratification
There have been enough legal battles
over this suffrage matter, the good
Lord knows, and we want Connecticut
free from any legal complications"
Leaders then had a conference with
the Governor, who was reported very
much aggrievcd with the legislature s
announced intention to contravene his
wishes.
In his formal message to the Assem-.
bly,, the Governor said that when he
called the special session, the Nine.
