One of the members of the executive board of the South Dakota Universal Franchise league, who assisted the president at the legislative session two years ago, when a resubmission of the suffrage amendment was granted, makes the following statement of what occurred, which may Interest the people of South Dakota. Before the legislature convened, a canvass had been made of the members elect, which proved there was a majority for resubmission In both houses. Immediately on the arrival of the members at Pierre, a conference called by the president In committee room No. 19 of the senate, of friends of suffrage and prohibition In both houses. At this conference, the president stated that we were certain of a majority on resubmission, but that we were willing to stand aside for other amendments, such as the tax and prohibition amendments, provided the legislature was willing to give us a municipal suffrage law, such as they have In Illinois, with an emergency clause.

This was done for the purpose of averting a referendum which would certainly have followed and would have thrown us again Into a campaign as strenuous as that through which we had Just come, and would If victorious, still leave us without full suffrage. The question was debated pro and con for a long time and we finally prepared a municipal bill and Intro duced It with the undestandlng I amonfc our friends that If we could not get the required two-thirds vote, we should Introduce a full suffrage amendment. When It was found a two-thirds vote was doubtful, a full amendment was Introduced, just as our friends understood we were going to do. It passed both houses and now comes before the people to be voted on next Tuesday. At no time was there any misunderstanding of the position of the suffragists and at no time was there evidence of broken faith on the part of anyone connected.

There were many conferences between tho suf fragists, prohibitionists nnd friendly members of both houses. This statement may be easily verified. RUTH B. HIPPLE, President and Chairman. S.
