WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN OLD ENGLAND House of Commons Passes Shackelton Bill WHAT THE BILL PROVIDES It Had the Unexpectedly Large Majority of 109 and Gives An Important Impetus to the Woman's Suffrage Movement in Great BritainPremier Made Strong Speech Against the Measure Chancellor -George Championed It--Their Respective Claims. (By the Associated Press.) London, July House of Commons, by a vote of 299 to 190 tonight passed the second reading of the Woman's Suffrage bill, for which David James Shackleton, labor member from the Clitheroe division of Lancashire, is the sponsor. The bill provides for the granting of the parliamentary franchise to men who are possessed of the property qualification and who already exercise franchise in municipal elections. 10Th gives an unexpectedly important large impetus majority of to woman's suffrage, but many obstacles must yet be overcome before the principle is legalized by the necessary majority of 145. The House subsequently referred the bill to a committee of the whole, which means that the bill will be shelved until next year.

The interesting debate showed that many leading men, including Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary for Home Affairs, and A. J. Balfour, leader of the opposition the commons, who favored the principle of woman's suffrage objected the present bill, and contended that the whole country must pronounce unreservedly in favor of women voting before parliament sanctioned such a change in the constitution. Premier Asquith in a. strong speech against the bill, declared that if women had a vote they must inevitably have seats in parliament and might take the speakers chair or sit in the cabinet.

Mr. Balfour contested this view. He said it was not government by consent to exclude a large class of the community from voting. Chancellor Lloyd-George, as a strong supporter women's suffrage, said that if the, promoters of the bill would promise reintroduce the bill in an acceptable form he would support it. Austen Chamberlain opposed women's suffrage in any shape or form.

A great crowd of suffragists awaited the result of the vote outside the House, but there was no disorder. NO MORE LIQUOR SALES GOVERNMENT REVENUE OFFI. CIALS RESPECT STATE PROHI. BITION LAW. There will be no more government sales of seized liquor in Raleigh.

THE GUILFORD CONTINGENT. Something About the Line- Up and "Fifth District" Politics. (By Andrew Joyner.) Greensboro, N.

July county delegates to the State Convention which meets in Charlotte will arrive there in three installments. Some of the leading "professionals" will leave here so as to reach Charlotte Wednesday afternoon. A slightly lower grade of politicians will leave night' p. reaching Charlotte that about 11. The bulk of delegates will leave Thursday morning, reaching Charlotte about 11.

In the State Convention. Guilford will have the distinction of having sent the largest proportion of votes against the Fifth district candidate for Supreme Court Judge (Manning) of any other county in the district. The delegation 1s largely composed of picked politicians, principally lawyers from Greensboro, and almost duplicates the set which composed the delegation in the Congressional Convention, which held nearly a week's session here last week. The antiManning line-up is nearly identical with the determined anti- lineup of two years ago. The fact that one ballot will determine the contest at Charlotte this year, will alone prevent a lively and prolonged mix-up between the Gullford delegates.

This county has twenty-six votes in the State Convention, and its full quota of 52 delegates and alternates will be in attendance, and several outside "visiting statesmen" who could not get to be delegates will also be in the push, a8 rooters or observers. Democrats of Fifth Will Stick Together. Respecting the result of the convention to nominate a Democrat for Congress in this, the Fifth district, which meets in adjourned session here at 3 o'clock Tuesday, July 26th. there is very little talk here now. Everybody seems to acquiesce in the view that there 1g no use of speculation, gossip or campaigning until after the Convention is over.

Republican partisang and Republican newspapers are yet doing all the talking. It is their perfect political right to try to put Democrats and the various friends of different candidates in a family partisan "stew," everybody so recognizes it, and so far the effort to stir strife or to breed acrimonious retorts or criminations between respectable but disagreeing Democrats, has proven entirely futile. It is generally believed that when the Fifth district Democrats reassemble here July 26. they will, after a few hours, proceed to agree on a candidate, without any more disturbance or 111-feeling than was shown at the frat convention when they could not agree on a candidate after four days and three nights balloting and "finessing." And it is expected that the advice of Republicans, Ag to who that candidate shall be will not be asked or heeded. And nomination will be 80 made, that choice then shall Stedman, Mebane, Jones, or Royster the district will be redeemed to Democracy by a very large majority.
