C., now has the baby 'tleague of the State, au Equal Suf' frage league having been organized there within the past few weeks, and > already they are discovering the "57 >' varieties" of opposition that are of'fered by those who believe in "indirect Influence" as witnessed by the remarkable letter from the represeu* tative from Lancaster, whom one prominent member of the Lancaster t league emphatically declares does > not represent her, and who equally |emphatically declares that if all the women signing the petition for peu* isions for Confederate soldiers could only vote for pensions for thein, she t is quite sure they would stand a > surer chance of getting them. k However, she contributes this particular "Hines" and those of his "vairieties" to the suffrage coluinu in * order that it ma) speak for itself. | The following is part of a-lotter > which appeared in the Lancaster ;Cou>nty Citizen of Feb. 8: "I have received a petition signed by many of our splendid women I there asking that more liberal pensions bo given our few surviving Con federate soldiers, l'oor old tottering i I remnants of the "Lost Cause." they ( who were so true to South Carolina in the days of their strong munhood are almost forgotten by her when f jihey need her succor the most. 1 am 1 going to do what I can for them, but the problem is a diflicult one. It is 'so complicated that few of the members will interest themselves in It. 1 take off my hat to these ladies, they jare of the type that made the oivlli* zation of "The South" the most reclined and ennobling of any that ever * inspired mankind to call forth all , that was great and courageous in him. What a difference in the inspiration he derives from them, and those of their sex. (there are very, ' very few of them. 1 am glad to say) 1 that stand in the corridors of the capitol and beg him to let them , vote. Kven thus soon many men brush by them abruptly and their hats, so reverently raised to every woman re?'maining within the sanctified sphere i of the purpose of her creation, re, main upon their heads. inn login aim uay, ivneneviT a member will render them the slightjest attention, they beset him. and if any considerable number vote for their plea for the final debauchery of their own sex, it will be with them, like it was with Samson, "that she wept before him the sevon days, and when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him so that bis soul was even vexed unto death, that he told her." My strength is not in tny hair, however, but in my head, and I told her too. l.ut wh; t 1 told her was that I would save her from herself if I could, ana work and vote against her plea for self-desecration. Yours very truly, Harry Hines, Rep. Columbia, Feb. 2. a iimmuuci ui int: n^imiiuvr i milmittee, who had personal experience working for the hill in the legislature, declares; "Lobbying among women of Columbia is by no means a recent thing, as one might infer from Representajtive llines' article. It has been popular for some 30 years whenever a |bill in which women are interested ia up for consideration?such as prohibition. child labor, the redlight abatement, etc. In fact clubs and 'organizations frequently send dele! gat ions of women to use their influence with the members during the !p< rilous passage of said bill through the legislature. "As for discourtesy from the men ?'who thus soon brush by them abruptly and their hats . . . remain upon their heads'?<Mr. Mines can only speak for himself and it is a gross injustice and misrepresentation of the other legislators whose courtesy to women, who visit the hot.se has been frequently commented upon by the women themselves. I "It is worthy of notieV that while Representative Mines was penn ng this illuminating letter, the legislatures of Ohio and North Dakota were granting their women presidential suffrage. Alas, the women of Ohio and North Dakota have accomplished the 'final debauchery of their own ;sex'?while the bills are proporly 'sung, signed and sealed' by thelr respeetive governors. I "Does not the legislature of South Carolina need more real, true Democrats who stand by the party and its platform? The National Democratic party has declared for equal suffrage, the State Democratic convention does the same, the president and his cabl^ not openly advocated and voted for it. Whore does Representative Hlnes * stand? He Is not representing the > Democratic party of South Carolina > and America when he states that he I Will 'work an,d vote against hor plea' <? for self-desecration." I ' ' I President Wilson Is Pleased. The 15th meeting of the North S Dakota logislaturo is now convening E and the first bill to be signed by 5 Governor Frazier is a bill giving K women presidential suffrage, l'resi- I dent Wilson was so pleased that he H sent the following telegram to Mrs. I 1 Catt, president of the National Wo- F man's Suffrage Organization: "May ? I , I not express to you and your organ- ? ! ization, as well as to the women ot North Dakota my congratulations u|>-! ' on the passage by the legislature of that State of a bill granting to the ? women of the State the rig lit to vote for presidential electors and for mu- | nicipal officers? As you know, I have a real interest in the extension of the suffrage to women, and 1 feel J that every step in this direction S( should be applauded." Women Will Vote in Ohio. On February 14 the legislature of Ohio also gave its women presidon- H tial suffrage. Two States in one week is almost more than the cause! ran believe. Fourteen suffrage States now have 96 electoral votes, j < South Dakota. ' D The legislature of South Dakota I has voted to resubmit the constitu-jQ tional amendment for equal suffrage. This will be the seventh submission in that State and for the first time the legislature passed the measure, p without debate. The suffrage amendment went to the voters last November and lost, by a very small majority. _ From Maine, to Texas. | Two new States added to the suf- ^ (rage ranks in one week and assent- H blies fioin Maine to Texas are giving tt favorable hearings, many leaders if promise support with more victories b< expected soon. The Tennessee house , th passed a measure granting women presidential franchise by a majority vote of 59 to 25. The special hearing is now In the senate. By a vote of 7 to 4. the presidential and municipal suffrage bill of, North Carolina was reported favorably on Jan. 25. Kvory former repuest of (ho women for the submis-w slon of a constitutional amendment ; ni has been rejected. The Republicans j tl voted solidly for it. |>"< ? cc 1Mj.\('KI> I'NDKlt lllvWV IIA1I,.
