ALL WOMEN To
vOTEIN TIME IS
SENATE'S IDEA
Even the Most Conservative Mem
bers Believe the Fair Sex Will
Cast Ballot the World Over.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-That
women in all civilized countries will
be permitted to vote is regarded as
inevitable by the most conservative
Senators and Representatives.
1t is their opinion that steady prog
ress is being made and that Great
Britain, the United States and other
leading nations will eventually rec
ognize that further delay is useless.
Two-Thirds Vote Needed.
The resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Federal constitution I'M
der which women would be given the
ballot, now awaiting consideration by
the Senate is expected to be passed
on at the next session. A two-thirds
vote would be necessary for its adop-
ton.
It would require the appoval Of
sixty four Senators to make women
suffrage operative for submission to
the States, so far as the upper branch
Of Congress is concerned.
woman suffrage lies in the opposition
OF Southern Congressman. The votes
for the women's movement have
made Roadway In the South. A bit
ter struggle is in progress in Ala
bama, where Representative Hobson
is seeking the Senatorship, as against
Mr.. Johnston, on a platform favoring
woman suffrage and temperance.
Senator Johnston says he will achieve
recollection without difficulty.
Have Twenty -Four Votes.
1t is figured that these Senators
will certainly support the Chamber
lain resolution providing for con-
stitutional amendment permitting
women to vote: Ashurst and Smith.
of Arizona; Thomas and Shafroth, of
Colorado; Borah and Brady. of Idaho;
Myers and Walsh, of Montana; Gal
linger and Hollis, of New Hampshire;
Chamberlain and Lane, of Oregon;
SmOot and Sutherland, OF Utah; Jones
and Poindexter, of Washington;
Clark and Warren, Of Wyoming: Gore
and Owens, of Oklahoma; Ransdell
and Thornton, of Louisiana.
This totals but twenty four Of the
sixty -four votes necessary in the
Senate. In view of recent action in
Iowa, Illinois and Kansas It is pos
sible that Senators Cummins, Ken
yon, Sherman, Lewis, Bristow and
Thompson may be added to the list,
making thirty in all. 1t is claimed
that two or three additional votes
may come from New England, but
no names are suggested.
