Iowa Senate Defeats Suffrage Resolution Amid Protests
The Iowa senate rejected Gale’s suffrage measure by 21 to 26 votes as about 100 suffragists filled the chamber. The debate focused on professional conduct of physicians and a proposed revocation of licenses by the state health board. Rep. Miller mocked alleged professional misconduct. Feely faced a contested election. Civil works and local ditch plans drew attention from Hamilton Hardin supervisors. News notes include Bilcott vs Kiln and settlement for the Lilanta case, and obliquely, a tribute to J. D. Hunter, pioneer publisher.
