The Legislative Committee of the Equal Franchise Society was on duty and within the first two weeks of the session, in January, 1913, the amendment was passed by both Houses and approved by Governor Oddie.
And he sang his latest favorite, with the gang supping his mixture between the stanzas: "Oh, hove flat down on Quero Banks Was the Bounding Billow, Captain Hanks, And the way she was a-settlin' was an awful sight to see" Then Wesley Marrs sang a song and after him Patsie Oddie followed with a roarer.
Prestige and assistance were given by an Advisory Board consisting of U. S. Senators Francis G. Newlands and Key Pittman, Congressman E. E. Roberts, Governor Tasker H. Oddie, Lieutenant Governor Gilbert C. Ross, President Stubbs, Bishop Robinson and many professional and business men.
Its executive board is as follows: Charles S. Knight, H. H. Kennedy, Tasker L. Oddie, B. Adams, Fred Stadtmuller, R. L. Kimmel, E. H. Walker.
During the first half hour it is, of course, impossible to notice anything. We had sunk to the level of generalities when I happened to mention Oddie. "He had darker hair than you have, dear," I said, "and his eyes were blue. Not sky blue, or china blue, but a kind of sea blue on a cloudy day. He had rather good eyes," I added reminiscently. "Had he?" said Arthur.
The punch-mixing, singing and story-telling went on and in the middle of it Tom O'Donnell came driving in. He was like a whiff of a no'the-easter out to sea. "Whoo!" he said. "Hulloh, Wesley-boy and Patsie Oddie and Tommie Ohlsen and, by my soul, Tommie Clancy again. Lord, what a night to come beating down from Boston!
He started off first with his "Oh, seiners all and trawlers all," but Alec McNeill and Patsie Oddie interrupted. "Oh, give us the other one, Tom the Newf'undland and Cape Shore Men." "Ha!" laughed O'Donnell, "it's the mention of your own you want you and Patsie there. Well, it's all one to me. Any man from any place, so long as he's a fair man and a brave man, and Lord knows ye're both that.
any stranger hearing and seeing might have understood why it was that their crews were ready to follow these men to death. "The like of you, Tom O'Donnell, never sailed the sea," said Patsie Oddie when they had got the last ro-o-ar "even the young ladies come in off the street to hear you better."
As to the claims of kinship, only once removed, to our forbearance and affection, I never so much as sat out a dance on a staircase with Oddie Pratte without recognising them. It seems almost incredible that Arthur should not have been gratified, but the fact remains that he was not. Anyone could see, after the first half hour, that he was not.
