FOR SUFFRAGE Senator John Decker Signs Pledge Favoring Giving Women the Ballot AND SPECIAL SESSION Does Not Favor Position Taken by Gov. Goodrich —Women will Help — Senator John F. Decker, joint senator from Wells and Adams counties. I has signed the pledge favoring the < ; calling of a special session of the legislature and the parsing of the , bill for woman suffrage. The follow- - ing statement was given to the Bluffton Banner by Senator Decker: I "After further consideration I have i . signed the pledge requested by the Franchise leagtie to meet the demands of the governor and placed ( the : ime in the mails on Saturday. "I feel that a great majority of our people would not care to see the light ' i for equal suffrage go on. but would prefer to see it settled in the only j way that will settle it, that is, by granting women equal suffrage with 1 ( men. No doubt they can be of great service to the country in solving the 1 many perplexing problems now call- ’ i ing for solution. I "There is very little opposition to Illi : uffrage measur: in cither house, tlie opposition which now threatens ’ to dele- the bill coming from an tin I willingness on th.- part of the legislators to sign a pledge dictated by 1 the governor, and which it is general- ' ly conceded he lias no right to exact " But to refuse would be to disappoint ' the Franchise league, and many other ■ citizens of the state, who were not * responsible for the governor’s aciton. 1 This manifestly, would be unjust. 1 "At any rate, as Abe Martin says. ’ ‘Give them the ballot and let them r i'demobilize’.” I Sallee Urges Signing According to information received I here today A. (’. Salle, democratic r stale chairman, is urging democratic - legislators to accept the pledge sent ’ •it by the women, notwithstanding I the fact that, the move is considered > ti political one on the part of the gov I » et nor. to get. out from under. Mr. Sal-1 - lee urges the senators to accept the I t pledge because of the danger to the I i suffrage cause, should the session not be call cl. i 1 PREFERS TO WAIVE CLAIM (United Press Service) l' Paris Jan. 13.—(Special to Daily . Democrat)—The supreme council cf I the peace conference today notified r Hugh Wallace, American ambassador, ’ that its decision to award the' United ' States only two per cent of the Ger I man shipping to be • distributed among the allied powers was unchanged. » Wallace immediately replied that the United States preferred to waive its claim entirely.
