WASHIXGTOX DELEGATION

Programme to Be Extended if 60
Per Cent of Members of liotli
Houses Desire.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 20. (Spe
cial.) By a vote of 13 to 6, members
of the King county state legislative
delegation,' which caucused in the
Jaw office .of Representative E.
Heister Guie last night, decided that if
they were called in special session to
ratify the equal suffrage amendment
to the federal constitution they would
limit the work of the session to the
suffrage question unless 60 per cent
of the membership of both houses
e greed to take up extraneous mat
ters. The original pledge circulated by
equal suffrage workers was a flat
agreement to consider the suffrage
amendment and nothing 'else. In to
night's . meeting several members
sought either to remove the qualifica
tion that 60 per cent must agree to
take up outside matters or to take
on a proviso that a soldiers' bonus
bill be included. Argument of the big
majority of the members was that al
ready there is considerable opposition
by outside members to any special ses
sion and that an extra meeting would
be impossible without an agreement
to limit its work.
Any matter of sufficient importance
to prlong an extra session could at-
tract, they support of at least 60 per
cent of the members to get it pre
Benled, argued the majority that
voted for this limitation. At the
same time they insisted the original
pledge of the suffragists should be
amended bo that emergency matters
outside the suffrage amendment could
be considered, if found necessary.
Senator Renick, Representatives Al
len, Conner and others declared that
there would be no opposition by the
members to a meritorious bill obtain
ing signatures of 60 per cent. Repre
nentatlves Frank Cotterill and S. A.
Hull said they would support a flat
declaration in favor of considering
