plores “Swapping of Wives
Among the Rich Class.’”
WASHINGTON, Aur. 19—"I, tool;-
Ing at the growing craze for women
suffrage and the rapid Increase In
the number of divorces granted in
this country, sadly think, if I do not
Fay. ‘America, thy race is almost run
unless something la done to check
thy headlong upeed,’ ” declared Sena
tor Tillman, of South Carolina, In
the Senate to-day, while discussing
the woman’s suffrage question.
Senator Tillman declared he is
strongly opposed to grant!-- the bal
lot to women.
“The customs of our people In
herited from our forefathers,” said

Diggs and Camlnetti would not be
allowed to go to trial now becausx?
they would have been shot like dogs.
“Among our very rich people in
America the geenration has gone so
far that swapping wives is a com
mon practice. The women are just
as bad as the men.”
