PAGE THREE ELLIOTT MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH FORJUFFRAGE Elliott Had Mild Tilt With New York Man Regarding "Fitness" of Women. McADOO'S "BIG THREE"

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEQRAH, MONDAY, JAN. 14, 1918.

By W. R. POUNDSTONE WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Rep. Rich

ard N. Elliott, of the Sixth Indiana Dietiict, made h!a "maiden" speech In

the House last Thusrday. when he

spoke In' favor of the adoption of the

amendment to the constitution grant

ing euffmge to women. His brief address Ri well received both by 'the House mfinbers and by the crowded :v?llcrles. Rep. Elliott took e. prominent part In the figp.t for the adoption of the "votes for won;n" amendment. He is a mem

ber of the recently created committee

on woiiitin s suffrage of the lower house, nnd in that capacity took advantage of every opportunity to champion the cause of suffrage.

"I am in favor of this resolution. I am In favor of granting suffrage to all

American women,' Mr. Elliott said In

addressing the House during the de

bate on the suffrage amendment. Miss Jeannette Rankin of Montana, the only woman member of the House, was one if the floor leaders for the suffrage advocates and she had yielded

three minutes of Ihe time allotted to

her, to Mr, Elliott.

"I believe the time has come when the efforts of the noble women of this

country are going to be crowned with success, and that they have arrived at

the brow of the hill from which they

can see Jerusalem and the temple walls," continued Mr. Elliott amidst

applause. Indiana Unanimous "J come from a state whose delegation in Congress, I am proud to say, is practically unanlmons on this proposition of woman suffrage," added Mr.

Elliott. When the vole was taken at

the close of the session Indiana's delegation was unanimous in its support

of the amendment, all of the state's

thirteen votes being cast for n.

In concluding his address Mr. Elliott

said: "Indiana is a divided state politi

cally, but I desire to sta'.e in justice to the members of Congress from that state that I believe the opinions of

none of them have been changed on this question by the miraculous conversion of the president to this cause I have no criticism to make of the president for coming out for woman suffrage. I am glad that he is standing with me on that proposition. 1 hope that his conversion will be like that of St. Paul, and that he will be come a master worker in the vineyards of the Lord for this issue."

"It has been suggested that the 38 or

39 men who framed the Constitution

of the United States possessed all the

wisdom in the world. 1 will grant that these men were noble, that they were wise, but you must remember that at the time these men made the Constitution none of them had ever seen a

cook stove, none of them had ever seen a telephone, a telegraph, an automobile, or any of the modern things which we have in this day. These men were all right in legislation and in the making of constitutions for their time, but we are living in a progressive age. When politicians stand still very often these great questions get beyond them, which this issue seems to have done." Has Mild Tilt. Suffrage leaders who attended the hearings on the suffrage amendment before the suffrage committee of the House were amused over a tilt between Everett P. Wheelor of New York, chairman of the American Constitutional Leapue. and Representative Elliott. Wheeler is opposed to votes for women. He informed the committee that women were physically unfit to stand the Ptrnin of participating in political campaigns and in exercising the right of franchise. "They cannot stand the nervous strain that ours can." said Wheeler. "T)r you think the work around the polls is any harder on a woman than working for the same lenprth of time over a wnshtub. making a living for the famllv?" inouired Mr. Elliott. "I certainly do think it is a great. oVul more of a "train on their nervous nrwnnlzatfon." Wheeler replied. "Have you ever talked to any worn"i to find out what she thought about it." ssked rienrecentnHve Elliott. "I have." replied Wheeler. "Then your experience Is. from what you have heard, that women would rather v.T-h Hothes than vote?" questioned Mr. EIHott. "I think they would a great deal mther wash." was the reply. The big ""owd of women in the committee rM lutehd heartily.

society is in receipt of the following

letter: Fort Snelling, Minn., Dec. 28,

191". Dear Friends: Your Christmas box come in good time for the big

day, and I am sending just a line to let you know a little bit about how much I enjoyed it. The candy and

fruit cake couldn't have been better

and then it was from home, too, and that means more Jhan you -can think. The comfort kit you sent me has been here quite a while and I wv.it to thank you for that, too. It is about the handiest thing a soldier could have, and while I have seen lots of comfort kits here I haven't seen another one like yours. I guess I am pretty lncky, for I get the benefit of the Red Cross

here and also of the one there at

home. The Minnesota organizations gave each one of the fifteen hundred Fort Snelling soldiers a mighty nice Christmas present and I think you would have enjoyed seeing the way

most of the boys appreciated them.

We had a forty-foot Christmas tree on

the parade grounds last Monday even

ing with a show at the Y. M. C. A. aft

erward and for Christmas dinner we

had everything from turkey to indi

gestion so altogether it was a pretty good day, but it could not have been

others just like you. Very sincerely.
