FIFTY MEN FOR STORM SEWER WORK. APPLY TO E. L. GRDNIGY, CONTRACTOR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1917. TUESDAY WILL BE NOTABLE IN STATE HISTORY Final Official Action on the Suf- frage Measures Expected from Governor Tuesday, January promises to be rather a memorable date in the his- tory of North Dakota. On that day Governor Frazier will affix the executive signature to the first woman’s suffrage bills adopted in North Dakota—bills which would have been signed Wednesday but for a mis- ake in engrossing—and a limited fran- chise will have been extended to some- thing like 100,000 North Dakota wo- men, while the first step will have been taken in placing women on a basis of complete equality with men. The amendment providing for full suf- frage has, it is true, a long and ardu- ous path to travel before it can be- come a part of the constitution. Much to the regret of all suffragists, the league did not embody an equal suf- frage plank in its proposed new con- stitution, and unless the senate sees fit to insert this amendment and to adopt the league constitution, and the house to concur therein, the ladies, until 1920, must content themselves with the partial exercise of the elec- tive franchise, as now practiced in Minois. New Constitution Up. Of even more vital importance will be the final vote of the house of re- presentatives upon the league’s new constitution, embodied -in House Bill No. 44, which will be reported out of the committee on state affairs Satur- day without’ recommendation, and which the house will consider in com- mittee of the whole Monday. » While the league has about 80 of the 113 votes in the house, there is a question as to whether it will poll its full strength on this measure. !f it does not, the opponents of legislative re- vision of the constitution in the sen- ate will take heart. ‘If the league does show it is holding its own in the house it may bolster up one or two doubtful senators, but in any event the bill will go from the house to the senate with a majority in the latter body opposed to it. Then will come a test of the real strength of the league, which for a week has’ been conducting mass meetings in the home districts of in- dependent séhators, counseling their constituents to bombard the states- men with personal letters and peti- tions, !
