Pepper Sure OF Election
"We all know that Senator Pepper is
going to be elected to the United States
Senate by an overwhelming majority"
said the Bishop.
The two biggest controversial topics
will come before the convention at to.
days session. They are the seating
Of women as delegates in the conven-
ton. which will come up at 2:3J
o'clock this afternoon. and proportion (.
ate representation. The proposal to
sent women as delegates passed the 1921
convention by n small majority, and II
this years convention takes similar
action the women will receive the repTe.
scnta tion they seek. Last year a com. I.
mission on admission OF women to the
convention was appointed to study the
question throughout the country, and
Il will make its report today. A ma +.
jority and minority report will be pre /.
sented. which means a lively debate.

give women representation in the con .
