WoMAN'S VOTE DRAMATIC NOTE
OF WAR SESSION.

OF WAR SESSION.
Washington, April Ga woman
furnished the most dramatic scene of
the most dramatic session in the his
tory of this nations house of repre-
sentatives.
The woman is Miss Jeanette Ran
kin Of Montana, the first woman ever
to sit in either body of the country's
legislature.
The house passed the historic re-
solution that says Germany has war
red upon this government, amid stir
ring scenes at 3:O8 this morning.
The clerk drawled out the list of
names, recording members, votes.
Solemnly they answered. Some vot-
ed huskily. Miss Rankin's name was
reached. The first woman was to
vote on war.
Amid an embarrassing silence and
weeping, she advanced half way
down the aisle from her seat in the
rear. A storm that mad ripped
through Washington like a noisy
horde of cavalry and that equa1ed
even the intensity of the storm that
continued throughout the presidents
address to the joint session Monday
night was on.
Even in the clOse-packed chamber
and galleries the intermittent rumb-
ling Of thunder could occasionally be
heard.
4 want to stand by my country"
said this woman, choking, but
can't vote for war"
ThunderOUs, hystericaI applause !
from pacifsts and pro-war sides of
the house alike greeted this frank
admissiOn-wOman's first official
voice in the house.
One had to yell and applaud to jam
down the lump in the throat But
''the lady from Montana" had slipped
out a side door, gTief-stricken, and
she heard but little of the ovation.
