I had the honor of car rying the New York petition. All of these petitions were presented to your Senator Chamberlain. "More than twenty-five of the sena tors. Including Senator Lane, spoke in favor of the bill. Senator La Follette said in the course of his speech that when the bill came up he would ask the privilege of answering all argu ments against it. Senator Lewis, of Illinois, and the senators from Michi gan and Ohio were among those mak ing most enthusiastic speeches. Sen ator Owen, of Oklahoma, generally .con ceded to be the most . handsome man In the senate, admitted that there was nothing for the senators to do but fall In line with the suffrage movement In the evening there was a banquet with covers for 400.
