CONGRESS TAKES
Up THE QUESTION
Woman Suffrage in Connec.
ton with the Presidential
Election to be Aired.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Congress has
taken upethe woman suffrage question
in earnest by designating a sub-com-
mittee. headed by Representative Hob
son. to inquire and report to. the
house. whether it will be best to leave
the question Of equal. suffrage in the
election Of president and vice presi-
dent to constitutional amendment or
to the action of the separate states,
Representatives Porter of Pennsyl-
vania and Tribble of Georgia will
Work with Hobson. 9
In the inquiry, which promises to
be wide in scope. will probably take
the form Of hearings. The inquiring
will be finished and the report pre-
sented to the incoming congress be-
fore the end of two years hence.
Suffrage leaders mostly favor con-
stitutional amendment to give women
the ballot. There is some opposition
to this plan, however, headed by those
who believe the states should decide.
and thereby escape the problem that
might arise in granting equal suffrage
in the southern states.
All suffrage leaders here for the
demonstration March s. are elated at
the official recognition of the question
by congress, and by naming Hobson,
who openly favors suffrage.
General" Rosalie Jones and her
''army," arrived shortly before noon.
They marched through the capitol
grounds and down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. with an escort Of enthusiastic fol-
lowers. in one Of the most remarkable
demonstrations ever seen here.
