The women suhragists Of the eoun-
try have scored a big victory over the
members Of the Senate Committee on
Territories. They have forced Chair
man Beveridge and his associates on
that committee to give them the or
portunity Of obtaining the right to
vote in the proposed States Of Arizo-
ma and Oklahoma. When the State
hood bill came over from the House
and the Senate committee made a few
changes in it. One of these was a pro-
vision that in order to qualify for
admission to the Union as States, Arr
zona and Oklahoma must agree not to
confer the right Of suffrage upon wo-
men. The amandment was adopted
without difficulty, but as socn as the
news Of ii went broadcast the female
agitators got busy. The pressure be-
came so great that it was decided to
yield and the offensive amendment
was dropped out. This leaves the sit
uation open, so that the states, if they
desire, may enact local laws to give
the women within their respective
borders as much latitude in the way Of
voting as they see fit.
