The Senate committee on constitu- tional amendments on the same after- -noon recommended indefinite post- ponemrent by the narrow majority ot 4 to 3. TVhe galleries were packed with friends of the movement. Represents- tives Bruce, Shankland, Halgrims and others spoke for the amendment. Woman, if she be a natuial wom- an, Oares most for her home, and, be- eauge of this love for the home, she wishes to have some power to protect that home and her children, said Colonel Halgrms, who had Introduced the measure. Mr. Power offered an amendment cutting the required term of residence In counties down from 60 days to 30, but it was defeated almost unanimous- ly. The previous question was moved, and then Mr. Hazen said he would li1e to speak against it. He was not permitted until a reconsideration was ordered. Then he spoke for more than half an hour. The vote stood in favor, 81 to 26. The amendment in the Senate was recently reported back with a substi- tute, so that there may be a tangle be- tween the Houses, over which meas- ure shall be sent to the Governor. MISSOURI HOUSE FOLLOWS SUIT Representatives Send Woman Suffrage Amendment to En- grossment by Almost Unani- mous Vote While several hundred women in the gallery cheered, the Missouri House followed the action of the Sen- ate and sent the proposed suffrage amendment to engrossment last week. Final action on it is due this week. The vote In the House was so nearly unanimous that no count was taken. Changes Voted Down Two amendments that would have changed the meaning of the whole measure were offered by Representa- tive Watson of Ralls County.
