Woman Lawyer
Bill Is Passed
(Continued From Page One)
made a speech on this floor against
this bill. I opposed it with all my
heart and every bit ‘ of’ power I
possessed. But, gentlemen, since
yesterday, my wife has had a con
ference with me, and the able de
fense of the bill with which we
have been feasted by so rpany gen
tlemen hero this morning, I am
thoroughly convinced that this bill
ought, to pass. Therefore, Mr.
Speaker, I vote ‘aye!’ ”
The three minutes’ privilege was
utilized by a score or more of mem
bers, who, shut’ off from expressing
themselves, during the debate by a
call for the previous question,
grasped the only remaining oppor
tunity to uhburden themselves.
With few exception these “expla
nations”—three-minute orations,
rather—were in behalf of the bill,
and long before the middle of the
the alphabet had been reached by
the clerk everybody .knew how the
vote was going. But the bill was
not without rhetorical opposition,
notwithstanding the “about face”
of Connor on the issue.
Tried To Rattle Barber
Barber of Grady, a farmer and
justice of the peace, though not an
attorney, proved a wonderrul sup
port of Mr. Stark from the mom
ent whenhebogan: “Mr.Spc aker
of the House and Ladies and Gen
tlemen of the Galleries.”
He spoke well toward the last
and it was his first speech of the
session. Attempts were made on
several sides to disconcert him by
privileged interrogations. Every
Bally, though, was remindful of i a
onslaught with gas bombs by an
European army in the face of an
adverse wind—they all rebounded
to - the discomfort of the enemy,
and some of the retorts of the rep
resentative fairly convulsed the
house with laughter.
For instance, Wohlwender, of
Muscogee, asked at one point:
“Is the gentleman a lawyer?”
“Gentlemen of this house,” re-
tored Barber, “for the gentleman
from Muscogee, who is himself an
uble lawyer, and who has sat with
ipe through, as many session of
(his house as he has, not to know
yet whether or np.t I am a lawyer
is so surprising and his question so
silly I decline to answer it.”
Brown, of Wheeler, when Barber
vras near the end of bis speech,
asked:
“WiU the gentleman please tell
the house which side of the ques
tion he is speaking on?”
Turning and facing Brown, Bar
ber said:
"I am indeed sorry for a consti
tuency that send to represent them
here in this hall a man who, after
a man has been talking, as long as
I have been, can’t tell which side
the speaker is talking on!”
Other speakers for the bill, before
the vote was started, were Davis,
of Laurens; Griffin, of Lowndes,
and Elders, of Tattnall.
When the speaker called for the
rollcall, Rich, of Miller, raised the
point that under house rule 22 only
a very small number of the mem
bers would be permitted a vote on
the question at issue.' This rule
provides that no member shall vote
upon any question “in which he is
immediately particularly in-
tcre ited.”
the embarrassing position of decid
ing who are lawyers'in this house.”
Anderson, of Jenkins, explaining
his vote, declared “the virtue of no
woman enn be affected by any ac
tion of this house: it cannot be
changed by any law.”' He urged
that women would have a tendency
to elevate the bar, and, he saying,
“it may bo that so. many of our
able, brainy women will enter the
legal profession that some of us
may lose praetic; but I say, ‘let the
fittest survive,
Muse Stirs Stovall
When the name of Stovall, of
McDuffie,'was called, he referred
to the remarks of Mr. Stark, who
had charged that the “woman suf
frage, idea and this woman lawyer
idea was all borrowed from "the far
west.” He closed byreciting these
lines “to woman,” which he had
composed while listening to the de
bate going on about him:
“Whether born in the south
born in the west,
Of God’s creation she’s still very
best.
She’s the queen of the south, in
spite of the west—
And in the practice of law she’ll be
qneen none the less.”
Throughout the debate and vote
the galleries were packed, most of
the spectators being women.
Among them were several leaders
of the suffrage movement in Atlan
ta and Georgia. They wanted to
applaud every .speaker—except
the women to practice lawin.Gcor
gia, but in his characteristic way it
is to be seen that he stood with
courage and. energy by his convic
tions. Mr. Barber is very fre
quently commended by his fellow
members'of the legislature for be
ing always at his post of duty in
the house. It will be remembered
that a great many of the members
are so negligent of their obligations
in this respect that great difficulty
has been had lately in keeping a
quorum for carrying on the work
of tho House.
For Congrss
“Every lawyer in this house,” Stark and Barber. They did ap-
urged Rich, “is immediately and plaud until the speaker convinocd
particularly interested’ in this bill,
and, therefore, can’t vote on it,
under this rule.
Embarrassing To Burwell
Later on, when Rich launched
upon a three-minUte explanation
of his vote (against the bill), Speak
er Burwell, from the floor, explain
ed to the house that his reason fer
not at the time having ruled upon
Mr. Rich’s point of order was that
he shrunk from placing hjmself “in
them that another violation would
mean the clearing of the galleries.
From then on the women centent-
ed themselves with the silent wav
ing of handkerchiefs as each cham
pion of their cause concluded.
The above taken from tho Atlan
ta Constitution will prove of decid
ed interest wo believe to the friends
of Representative |Bnrber in this
county. Mr. Barber was with the
minority in this matter of allowing
To the Voters of the Second Con
gressional District.
Feeling profoundly grateful to
.you and deeply conscious of the
great obligation and responsibility
resting upon me, I hereby acknow

for the confidence you have so gen
erously reposed in me.
I have spared no effort to serve
you faithfully.
My record for the short time I
have served you is before you and
I am willing for you to pass upon
it, confidently relying upon a fair
verdict at the polls in September
from a great'people who are just as
well as generous.
I hereby announce as a candi
date to succeed myself as your
Representative in the 65th, Con
gress, subject to your will and
under the rules of the Democratic
Primary.
While important measures af
fecting your interests are before
Congress and when ever vote
counts, I feel that I should attend
to the duties to which you have as
signed me, and return only when
your interests arc not neglected. 1
expect to bo in the district and
shall .see as many of you personally
as possibly before the Primary on
September 12th.
Faithfully yours,
