Women Welcome Delegates
From West, However, and
Demand Passage of An
thony Amendment.

Washington, d. c., Dec Woman
suffrage workers undismayed by de-
feat in eastern states last month or by
the failure of the last congress to grant
qua suffrage, took their fight again
today to the national capitol.
The Susan B.. Anthony amendment
introduced Inc defeated for many
years, was introduced again today in
the House by Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming. A colorful and pic
turesque demonstration by s%uffragists
of many states, including a parade to
the capitol, preceded the introduction.
The mammoth petition for equal suf-
frage brought by Mrs. Sarah Bard
Field, of Oregon, and Miss Frances
Jollifee, of California, was lost at the
last moment. 1t was about $4,000 feet
long and bore approximately 500, 900
names of voters in suffrage states.
Another petition, however. contain
ing several thousand names of voters
in nonsuffrage states, was presented to
Representative Mondell, on the east
steps of the capitol, and the original
will be given if it is found. 1t disap-
peared somewhere between here and
Wilmington, Del. from which city it
was shipped by express.
Hundreds of s~uffragists marched to
the outskirts of the capital early today
to meet Mrs. Field and Miss Jolliffe,
who had come from San Francisco by
automobile to present the petition.
Shortly before noon the procession to
the capitol began. More than 1000
women were in line.
A cavalry division of u women,
dressed in suffrage colors and carrying
the Susan b. Anthony banner pro-
claiming:
Susan 3. Anthony amendment" came
first. Then followed IL girls wearing
liberty caps to represent the silent APP
peal for the vote; II women represent
ing the the IL enfranchised states, 81

ing the 81 states in which women do
not have the vote, and 800 suffrage
