FOR SUPPORT OF SUFFRAGE BILL

Both Worked to Enfranchise

Women, State Franchise

Head Says in Interview.

"A few days ago the Franchise league closed its legislative headquar

ters In Indianapolis with a remarkable

experience for the women and an equally-remarkable history of the rap-

Id passage of bills, and tne cnange

cf public sentiment in regara to sur-

frage," said Mrs. Richard Edwards, president of the Indiana Franchise league, today when she arrived in Richmond to be the guest of the Franchise league tea In the publlo art gallery. "Our .memorial asking the United States senate to pass the federal suffrage amendment was Joint Resolution No. 1. Our presidential suffrage bill signed by the governor was bill No. 2 and our amendment to the state constitution granting women the right to vote, which must come up again in he next general assembly, was put through In ' advance of all other constitutional amendments considered separately and agreed to

fey both houses unanimously.

"There was no dissenting vote In either house or senate on the proposal to amend the constitution of Indiana. We were more pleased with this unanimity than with almost any other phase of this work. Behind it lies an interesting story of hard work on the part of our three hundred and fourteen leagues in the state which

have carried petitions, interviewed legislators in their home districts and worked up public sentiment. Add to that the clever handling of the suf

frage situation by our legislative com

mittee, which made friends on every hand. Perhaps the biggest Influence of all was the continued offorts of the Republican and Democratic parties who were determined that both parties should 'put themselves solidly behind the suffrage issue. There never was at any time a question of the failure of this suffrage measure in Indiana. Believed Constitutional There has been some discussion as to the constitutionality of the presidential bill but we have the legal opinion of some of the most eminent constitutional lawyers in the state who declare that this right of presidential suffrage rests on a grant from the federal government and is not effected by provisions In the Indiana state constitution. "Two years ago a resolution to amend the constitution of Indiana granting women the right to vote was introduced by Senator Beardsley and passed by both houses. As is usual for all constitutional amendments, this would have had to pass the next session of the legislature and then be

referred to the people to be voted on.

e have been asked many times way

we allowed this to be withdrawn and so apparently lost two years in our struggle for suffrage. I want to take this opportunity to say that we are infinitely better off with our present bill, even though we lose two years. There can be no question of the conMitutionality of this resolution and

the constitutionality of the other bill had been attacked for two reasons. "There is one reform which is nearly as dear to the heart of the women of the state as the question of suffrage for women, and that is to limit the right to vote and make laws in Indiana to American citizens. Indiana la one of the seven states in the Union in which men owing allegiance to a foreign country may vote. Gradually the other states of the Union have removed this stigma from their voting records and have required that every man or woman must be a citizen before he is enttled to vote. We are very proud to know that it is the women who have secured this necessary change in our Indiana election laws, for our new suffrage constitutional amendment which has just passed both houses, and which was introduced at the request of the women, provides that the voters of Indiana must be citizens. This allows both men and women to vote but does not allow a citizen of another country to have any share In governing Indiana. "We had hoped that the United States senate would pass the federal suffrage amendment in time to have it ratified by the General Assembly of Indiana now in session. That may still happen though it seems less like

ly since the vote in the senate last Monday. We are sure of Its passage

In the next congress, aitnougn wm probably be too late for Its ratlflcatiM in ttia atfttn lMislature. It

very evident that the senate which

seems to be dominated oy reactionary southerners and stand-pat conservatives from New England, Is not as responsive to the trend of popular thought as Indiana." Several Hundred Present.

Capt. Victor Helntz. Capt. Victor Heintz, Republican member of the house from Ohio, has been a conspicuous figure jn Washington for the past several days with his Sam Brown belt and the red shoulder insignia denoting his detachment over there. Both accessories are worn contrary to army regulations. Captain Heintz has obtained his discharge and asks: "Why should I not wear in the United States the insignia I wore in battle overseas?"

If you must have wrinkles, get them from laughing. A death house for women has just been completed in Sing Sing prison.

President Bartel, 1 Walker Land, Omer Bullerdick. Horace Kramer, Roy Fry, C B.Beck and Leslie E. Hart attended the annual conference of the eleventh (Indiana) district of the

International Association of . Rotary Clubs, at Indianapolis, Thursday and

Friday of this week.

We wonder If our "sayln"' In last week's letter did any good, whether or not. we understand that Mr, Bullerdick and "Bill" have beep Instructed to arrange for an elaborate entertainmint to which all our returned soldier members and all members,, and wives and sweethearts of . members are Invited. When we say sweethearts we have in mind all our old widowers and young single men as "Daddy" Kramer, "Took," "Dory" Hill, "Red" Mather and Marcus Hasty. This spread is scheduled for the second Saturday evening in March, the 8th, in Post C Club rooms on North Ninth street . J. W. Lamson of the American Seeding Machine company left Sunday evening last on a two weeks' trip to all International Harvester Company agencies in the east in the interests of the company he represents. Howard A. Rice of this company is of the opinion that "Joe" is taking rather an extended time for the business that hft ma v be able to transact and ven

tures the belief that something else is to occupy a portion of this time possibly in search of "Minnie," who, we are told, he could not locate in Michigan the week previous. There seems to be a desire on the part of our Nominating Committees headed by John P. Hlghley and Theo. H. Hill, to place upon the White and Blue tickets to be voted on at our annual election in March, the names of-members, who, if elected in the friendly contest, will bend every energy toward making the year 191920, the most successful in the history of Post C, and in this view we believe they will have the strong approval of all members who have the interests of the post at heart.

W. H. Middleton, Furniture salesman, Marion, Indiana, and one of the leading members and live wires of Post N in that city, was a welcome visitor at our club rooms Tuesday evening last. Mr. Middleton reports a keen interest in T. P. A. affairs with Post N, and a strong effort being made to go down to our state convention at Indianapolis with a largely increased membership. Mr. Middleton express-

ed himself as , strongly favoring an adoption by the state convention of a clause In the state constitution and by-laws providing for annual memerial services for deceased members, by all Posts in the state as Is provided and carried out by Post C. the only one In the state. It is quite probable that this will be brought before our next state convention. - - Brother Cliff W Caldwell, with

James B. SIpe ft Co., Pittsburgh, but

still holding membership in Post C,

was to receive a visit from two of our boys whe went on business trips to that city the past week James P. Hlghley and Joe Lamson. Mr. Caldwell is an ex-president of Post C. and at all times, while among us. was pushing the affairs of the post to success in every undertaking, and gelting at first- hand from these two brothers, what Post C Is now doing, will, we know be of keen interest tc him.
