BY SINGLE VOTE House Comes Near Mustering Up the Two-thirds Support Necessary. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 20. Developments In the house Monday afternoci in connection with the woman's suffrage bill indicate a strong spirit of rivalry, as to which party shall have the honor of carrying the suffrage flag, and the passage of the bill not later than Friday, appears to be a foregone conclusion. The senate bill will be reported out In the house Tuesday, Chairman Vesey announced. The house bill came within one vote of passage under the two-thirds rule on amendments for bills on third readings. The amendment submitted by Rep. Vesey sought to restore the bill to the terms of tho measure as Introduced in the house. The bill was on third reading and a two-thirds vote was required to make the desired amendment. On roll call. 66 votes were cast for the amendment tr.el 25 against. One more vote would have made the house hill conform o the senate bill and the measure would have oeen up to the governor for approval. Eleven republicans, Davis of Lake, Davis of Jäy, Day, Dynes, Geddes, Harris, Houghton, Kuhlman, Miller of Kokomo, Miller of Tippecanoe and Moore voted against, the amendment. Democrats voting for the amendment and being for the bill were: Adams, Konham, Kurtt, Cook, Cooper, Cravens. Curry, Douglas, Downey, Durham, Harmon, Henke, Jacoby, Kreig, McXagnny, Walker and West fall. Cratns Votes for Amendment. Minority Leader Cravens, while objecting to the Alldredge bill and the effort to amend it so as to make it like the senate bill linally voted for the amendment and Indicated that he would support the bill. Rep. Houghton of Shoals, a republican, made the only formal speech against the bill. He criticized the lobby tactics of the Women's Federated clubs and declared that he represented a vast majority of the women of the state when he opposed the bill. "I have been threatened with political death by this Federated club lobby, because I prefer to vote my sentiments rather than to accept the dictates of these good women. I want to say that I r.ever asked for an office in my life. Wh"t few political honors I have enjoyed have come to me unsought, that it will do them'no good to come down into Martin and Davies counties and attempt to get my political scalp. I know the women of those two counties and they know me and I do not fear the ' result." Vesey Speaks for Rill. Rep. Vesey made the xrincipal speech for the bill. He said "if suffrage is to be extended to women, and I believe most of us concede that It will be he-Tore mnay hours have passed, let us do so in a broad, generous and manly way. The house I believe erred in amending the bill a few days ago so as to exclude them from participating in the selection of delegates to the constitutional convention. The purpose of my amendment at this time Is to correct that error. Surely, it Is but logical and Just that we give women tha right to pass upon what the consti tutional convention does. We have voted for state prohibition, and we expect to see prohibition In the basic law of the state. This being true, it appeals to me that the one necessary thing for us to do now, if our votes along this line have been sincere, and that is to place the ballot in the hands of women as soon as possible, so as to clinch for all time to come the social reform which we have just inaugurated." Rep. Clapp of Fort Wayne and Rep. Alldredge of Anderson also spoke in behalf of the bill. After the effort to amend the house bill hid failed. Rep. Vesey's motion to make the measure a special order for Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock prevailed. 0. K. PRIMARY BILL FOR OFFICES EXCEPT STATE Agree on Measure to Nominate All Ilxivpt Governor and C. S.
