DELEGATES Ina NOT AGREE.

HARTFORD. Conn. February 12——
Following thc IleclslIe action of vector-

persistency to the idea of equal reple-
Silltlltlilll the question today in the
minds of these small town delegates
was that involving the numerical us-
pcrt of representation. They thought
the question awaiting settlement was
as to whether towns should be repre-
sented by one, or two members in the
House of Representatives. Greatly to
the surprise of the majority faction.
however. the delegates from the city
curly gave evidence of non-surrender
and renewed very promptly the battle
for larger representation.
There were fewer people in the gal»
ierics than yesterday. but thc attend‘
once of spectators was nevertheless
large. President Andrew called the
,Ionvention to order at it o'tl.0tk. Im—

Mr. Chandler. of Thompson. briefly en-
dorsed the “two" plan. At this point
Colonel Osborn opened the battle of
thc minority by prcscntlng an amend-
ment to the IIIncndment of n ohdracter
which meant the renewal of the whoIII
thing. His ntncndmcnt took the form
.of "file No. 2." II menuu'rc previously

rcpreacntntivc. Colonel Ouborn declar-
ed thni thc people of Connecticut
would never tolerate the treatment that
the action of yesterday carried with It.
"This bodv.‘ he said. "is forgetting the
rights of the people."
Mr. Davenport of Bridgeport. took

Chapman (‘ntt of New York city. Mrs
Cutt Raid: “Hard upon the track of
the man suffrage movement presses the
movement for woman suffrage. u logi-
cni step onward. it has come as inevit-
nblc and no nuturnlly as the flower IIn~
folds from the bud or the fruit. devcl-
ops from the titiwor. Why should wom-
en suffrage not come? Men throughout
the world hold their suffrage by the
guarantee of the two principles of lib—
erty. and for these reasons only. One.
‘tuxution without representation‘ is

VAnd are not women governed. 'l‘hesc
axioms have been translated into every
tonguc and thundered forth in eloquent
plea in every civilized land. Before
their logic thtI most cherished of un-
cient prejudices havc yielded, and can
their logic full at. last? More. the world
has put new and unanswernble logic
into the mouths of our advocates.
“The future belongu t0 the book.
not the sword; It belongs to life and
not to death.’ peeled out the voice of
Victor Hugo. The world heeded and
exclaimed ‘truc. the award ls passing
and the ruleI of the book incoming in.‘
Then we may ask. since woman may
read the book and IvritI.I the book. why
should she not share in the government
of which the books stands thc chief
prop and support? and who can un-
swer? The president of Stanford Uni-
versity said: ‘f’l‘ho function of democ-
racy is not to make governments good.
It is to make men strong! if democ-
racy is II lllf‘unfi of making men strong.
is there any good reason for kccping
women weak that we should deny them
tho some. chunce to grow strong?
"A campaigner in the recent New
York municipal campaign pit-ml rio-
quently with the women to lend their

the women of this city to advise men
how to vote .ulnce they have more time
than men I IntelligentlI learn to com-
prehend th situation.’ and every Low
follower echoed ‘true‘ .But if women
arc competent to teach men how to
vote, why may they not vote them-
selves? These are the arguments the
world has put Into our months. The
logic can no more be controverted than
that of the multiplication table."
