McCullough, In a speech opposing it, demanded to know why the Senate was attempting to make unlawful something inside a theater which can be seen on the street at any time. "When the mothers are willing to dress as mothers and .the girls are willing to conceal something I will be for such a bill,” he said. “They say the women are back of this bill.
