: Ilan of XT. BlAckwelL
The theory upon which the equaj
auff rage propaganda' is founded waa set
forth this forenoon ojf tne report or
Henry W.-Black well on preatdeptial suf
frage. Mr BlackwfcU lald a Hnlbute to
Orearon-iaa the only atate In which there
Is not women suffrage which affords the
opportunity to secure submission or an
amendment without th intervention of
the legislature. His report In part waa:
"When we appeal to tne-etare legisla
ture we Ond women excluded by the
word 'male' In. the state . constltutfona.
Therefore, r women can be Made votera
for state officers only by a, change In
the state constitution, and that can be
had only by a Joint, resolve afterwaraa
ratified by the- voter. Such action Is
difficult to secure in the faceof any
organised opposition. But there is one
Important exception. The right to ap
point th presidential electors is vesica
In each state legislature and not In the
voters. This nower Of the state legla
lature has been expressly declared by
the United States- supreme court to b
plenary, exclusive and final. The power
naa oeen repeairaiy exercineu
legislatures. In New Jersey, until 1804,
and In-South Carolina i until .,1865, the
legislatures In Joint session sppolnted
the electors. But with the. growth of
Democracy, the. legislatures have dele
gated their power of appointment to th
voters'-cf their respective statea.t They
can extend this delegated ' power te
women cltlsens at any time. -
Xow to secure Suffrage;
' Thl oraldehtlal suffrage la-the
highest form of -suffrage ever exerclaedJ
by anAmerlcan cltlxen. It aeeme Tor
four- years to come the domestic and
foreign policy of the country. It Is a1e
the easiest form of suffrage to obtain,
requiring only legislative majority
Therefore it la" Idglcally the first star
to be. taken. If the friends of woman's
suffrage tn every state will petition its
legislature at every session they will by
the persistent-demand eventually attain
this right. ThJ one secured all else
will follow. This- has 'recently been
shown In AusiraAa. '"where. 800.000

Chicago, June SO. Startling conditions
in the downtown district have been re
vealed through the sudden settling of
the ground under Ch lease streets and
buildings. The trouble is attributed by
the engineers of -the traction companlea
to the construction of the . Illlnoia
Tunnel company's conduits under the
streets. The prophecy of a catastrophe
waa made in the office of "the- chief
engineer of the -Chicaso-Cltv' Railway
company, H. B. Fleming, with the"n
nouncement that the- high way-on Jack
aon boulevard and State street had sunk
10 Inches in two nights
Engineers of the Union 'Loop com
jany have known for a year that the
earth- bet wee-the -tunnel and the street
waa giving way in many spots, and aa
a result it waa necessary .to jack up
structures in several placea. Depres
