The victories, the first coined in the '.House by the suffrage cause at the pres ent special session, weie obtnimd by nn almost strictly party vote and after lively debates.

"Why. I believe there are eighteen men in the House who would resign if necessary to defeat tills suffrage agi tation." he said.
