Charlie Wooster of Silver Creek was against the resolution, but it pasaed, anyway. Wooster. declared he would not say whether he was for or against woman suffrage, but that the subject was not a proper one for the farm congress to consider. "I thank the women are a very vital psrt of farm life," said George P. Hoy, a confirmed bachelor, who has farmed In single blessedness for thirty years. Nevertheless, the bachelor'e comment was sufficiently pointed to carry the resolution, and. woman suffrage carried by a substantial majority. Wnnt I'oatal Pimpress.

This report la not discussed in Mr. Bclilff's statement, but It Is made clear that the firm will not participate as such.
