WOMEN MAKE
PLANS FOR
A VOTING
DEMONSTRATION

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ga
constitutional amendment forbidding a
denial of the right to vote to women
throughout the United States will be
demanded of the new democratic con-
gress and of President-ele Wilson.
The demand will be made by suf-
fragists who will march from the cap
itol to the White House along Penn
.srlvania avenue on March 3. -'
, . - 70 o5e the real motive behind
the suffrage procession. The suffra-
gists believe the time has come when
they properly can demand such a con-
stitutional amendment as the one
which gave suffrage to the negroes.
The fifteenth amendment said the
rights of citizens should not be denied
because of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude, and now the
suffragists want an amendment pro-
viding that the rights of citizenship
shall not be denied because of sex.
Miss Alice Paul of Philadelphia,
leader of the procession plan, made
this announcement after a conference
with General" Rosalie Jones of New
York to-Albany- bust fame, at
which it was arranged that during her
"on-to Washington" march General"
Jones and her companions should get
as many signed petitiins for a consti-
tutional amendment as possible.
