The committee arose and reported
and the house went to out after Mr.
Christian had introduced houso bill

Am'HitNooN
Rose -noved that consideration of
bouse bills IW and 38 lie both relat-
ing to woman suffrage Indefinitely
postponed
Kills seconded the motion and Itoto
opened the disoussion.
It was an important question he said
and one which he was uot afraid to
set. He hoped tbe measure would be
thorough'? discussed before a vote wan
taken lie made the motion in good
faith he said and wanted all the 1ght
thrown upon it possiblo. He thought
that definite notion should be taken at
this time however and the mat'ar Bot-
tled. For himself he felt that ho
would be justified in voting for the
postponement -f the bills unless somu
argument in faror of equal suffrage
were prrnen ' ' I Wronger thon any ho
had yet her i
lll.loi im ARHlnt It.
It would be an in oration upon tho
history and custom of the world from
the begiiiniug of time which l-dld be-
lieve would be justified by thu ends to
bo obtained. Nevr la all 'iletory hud
a right been demanded and granted
save there wi.i oppressiou and where
lie demanded where ou earth was
there oppression from which the ladles
needed relief
He quoted history scieuce Vwtrr
he did not want to degrade them by
forciug them into the slums of poll-
tics all woman he said who took a
prominent part in public life gave
birth to weak-minded hair-brained
offspring the great and good men of
the world were all the sons of home
women ladies who carwl for their
homes and their fatuities The lliule
'M against women suffrage aud It
must be Ignored it tbey were to be
granted this right The t-ord made
women for a certain purpose butnever
Intended her to vote and hts laws
could not be "hanged. Woman suff-
rage may have been a good thing in
Utah to got the government from the
Mormons but It was not good for Ok-
aujma Should sjt at Hums.
Would you littve women In politics
and out making spoosiiu-. whlla the
husband looked like a chloken that
had fallen in a slop bucket whilo the
children brought up themselves.
Woman should stay at borne and ralso
worthy offsprings uot run around
vote and talk and associate with tho
slums and the degraded men lu politics
and lit the legislatures aud rain the
dispositions and characters of their
future offspring.
Any man knew that If the women
were glvon the ballot the liquor bus.-
ni'bs would go starving In short order
and wo waro not ready for this yuU
Tho women would at once vote to ruin
tho home Industries of breweries and
stills
Mom Time
He was given the llmo of Doyle and
Kills aud wandered back to Greece
and Home and Into Persian history to
provo that women should not be given
tho right of huffrugu as she would
gain too in noli power and become
tyraiiteal and corrupt The only place
for woman was at home washing
dlsliM and lutclung her tdd man's
pants und not be trying to inlluonco
legislatures J5.000 of them could not
change him.
A l.t!lm' Ulmmpliiii.
Willis said thut in his opining tho
bpoeoh that had just been delivered
was unlit to bo delivered in any place.
ThiB created a furore nnd brought a
motion to olour tho lobby and Fergu
son retorted that ho had told nothing
but tho truth nnd he hoped the ladles
were not afraid of the truth.
it had btion said Mr. Wills pro-
ceeded that If woman entered politics
It would drive out whisky and beer
from this territory.
Ho hoped this was true and thought
it nn argument strongly In favor of
granting suffrage to them. The
women of tbo country surely po.-
scsed the same Intol licence and in-
andWilptore to show that womarAASyiegrlt M the men. then why.h.uld
not entitled to the ballot nor to be
trusted with the affairs of the nation
llv Her a tiha-aea.
Mr. May said he was not a ebaiuplaa
of any oaitse and bad no Intention to
waste'tlme with a long speech Woman
was the crowning sheaf of home the
light and the hope there. She was
weloome at tbe store in tbe office in
the factory and even ou tho battle field
where she performed deeds of meray
and of valor. Women had In times
past and present been the advisers and
helpers of men bad br their aid won
many political battles. Now when
she desires to pH' In a little ballot It
was though prejudice and jeulouby and
fsar denied her. Was this right or
jest or fair?
A Mitilsrii t'rlvilexa
Mr. Mouriquaud spoke against tho
motion to postpone The right to vote
ww a modern privilege the fuudamen-
tal principal upon which our forefath
ers re 01 lea against ureal itrttian was
tbe insistence of tbe right of
taxation without representation.
Yet- today this great republic was
taxing the women and refusing to give
them representation. He said that the
lad it-it were not trying to shirk respon-
sibility lu suv of tbs affairs of tbe
nation they were ready to pay taxes
to work the roads to defend tbe na-
tion tnd bear all other burdens equal
with the men but they ask in return to
ba?e thb right to vote and be represent
ed in tbe affairs of the country.
Woman was needed in all tbe affairs
of lite and her iiifluebec at tbe polls
would be for the belter would elevate
and purify the moral atmosphere of
politics.
On motion speeches were limited to
ten mioutus.
UlM.il 1). fli(l tha rHilli
Olwo said as oivilU&tlon advanced
tbe place of wouiau was higher in tho
ktlmation of man and of tbe govern
ment. Some held that it would dam
age tbe party to give women the
ballot Tbis was all boob a party
that was rght and bad right princi-
ples wculd attract tbe women voters
and secure their vote. One of tho
eantioal rigbu of tbe populist party
was equal rights to all and yet mem-
bers were refusing tbe rights of su li-
ra go to one half tbe citizens of tbe re-
public eitizrna who wer taxed but
refused repreieotsiioD A party that
opposes monopolies and yet tries to
have a monopoly of voting. Woman

era ber auc i.e violates them she

aud convl td by a jary of men with
n ) say whatever lo the proceedings.
Lovci the Ladle.
Ferguson favored the postponement
of the bills. He loved tbe women so
they not have the right of c-lf govern-
ment (let In III Ham! Waautl.
The most Intelligent and advanced
men of the country recognized the jus
tiee of the claims of women for the
ballot and it was but a question of
time until their demands were acoeded
U and the moral atmosphere of politics
be purified. It was assuming a
momentum day by day until Iti onward-pressing
was Irresistable and
those who did uot get iu the band
wagon would bo run over.
Ulatl He Whi Tlmre.
Horry was present by tho mercy of
Ood and glad ho was there. He was
roady to take his stand and would for
ever bo proud of it. Tho question be-
fore the houso was one of the greatest
importance that would oome up in tho
life-time of the members. The main
argument today seemed lo be that be-
cause women had been hewers of wood
und carriers of water in the barbarian
agos of the past they should continue
to be for all time. Members had In-
sultingly and tauntingly asked why
the women present were uot at hows
looking after their duties there.
Where on earth had a womau greater
interest than here whore laws were
being on acted to govern her and ber
children to rule or to ruin thslr homes
Uauxlit un Angel
Soma member had spoken of angels
ho said. Well he had never soon but
one angel aud he married nor OR tbe
spot. Ood made women tbo most mag-
nificent aruature of creation alio bad
been kept in slavery and subjugation
for thousands of years but thank Ood
in this day of progress freedom and
uueriy was in signt lor ineni' It was
a matter of right or wrong of justice
and should prevail regardlrss of polit-
ical bearing or social prejudices. It
would elovato tho race take tbe elo-
raont of the slums from tbs polls and
put bettor men in oIUm everywhere.
Mr lie Aiiwr.
Hose was given Wilson's time and
said .in answer to the argument iu
favor of the bills that he had no hard
word to speak against women bo ad
mired and rsspecUd them as greatly
as any man la tbe house. Ho opposed
the bill becuuso ho believed that tbo
granting of suffrage would do no good
to polities and would but bring barm
and demoralisation to tbe homo. Tbo
great trouble with this country today
was the lack of good mothers domes-
tio virtue and motherhood training
were greatly neglected. No tenable
argumsnt bod been pewented in favor
of the granting of suffrage to women
and there rraro may against it be
thought. Women bo believed bad a
stronger Influenua in the homo than
tbpr could have In politics.
Wooittnmi.ne'. stanil.
Wood ma usee said he had been peti-
tioned to pass his bill as bad every
other member by their constituents.
He favored granting the women tbe
right of suffrage as they were entitled
to it and it win a matter of right and
justice und would purify J-oil tics and
benefit the nation.
HHlllrmi for Hnfurm.
Sullivan was glad for tbo investiga-
tion but sorry for the personalities and
the taunts that had beon thrown at
the women of Oklahoma and outsiders
as well. He had been elected as a re-
former be said and was In favor of
true and real reform. His people dc
sired the passage of this bill and he
would vote for It as being a inattor of
right and justice Some said It would
result In defeat of ths party but ho
believed lu right and prlnelplu and
would sacrifice no ioto of It for party
sueoeBS.
The question was oalled for and the
motion lo kill the bill prevaled by a
vote of 14 to 11 as follows:
Aye-Allen.Cherry Christian Doyle

The house completely exhanstod by
the efforts of tho afternoon adjourned
and three or four hundred ladles and
as many more men who had gathored
to listen to the debate dlBporsed tho
ladies sadly the man cheerfully.
