He promised the delegates that if he vverp returned to the enatc and he hoped ho would be IK vould do all in his power to secure the passage of a suffrage resolution. He bo- lev ed the cause was making progreas In the state. The senator almost broke down when he referred to hia pride ot hearing his owr daughter , chairman of the Kansas delega- Ion , speak from the same platform will he noted leaders of the cause. Despite the reafi iiring remarks of the ienator from Wright , the Iowa suffragists ars not making any efforto this winter tt secure the passage of a suffrage resolution They are pretty well discouraged , and Ir view of the explanation given by a Icadlnc nembcr of the legislature a day or two ago t is not to be wondered at.
