LADY SOLON TO Mother
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
Congressman" Janette Rankin to Con,
duct Fight in House.

Representative Janette Rankin, OF Mon
tana, is to be the mother of the Fed
eral suffrage amendment In the House
when Congress convenes April 2. This
was the announcement received by wire
by Miss Anne Martin, of Nevada, vice
chairman of the Woman's Party at Cam
eron House headquarters today.
Women for years have had the suf-
frage bill sponsored by men on its ad-
vent into the House and Senate. 1t
went without saying with the election
Of Miss Rankn as Congressman" from
Montana that she would introduce the
suffrage measure; but there was no Of
fetal confirmation of the fact until the
formal request of Miss Martin was
answered in the affirmative. Suffragists
promise that the Rankin amendment. as
the bill will come to be known. will be
the very first to be introduced during
the extra session. At the Woman's Party
headquarters they are predicting its pas
sage.
Miss Rankin was the president of the
Montana Equal Suffrage Association at
the time her State carried for suffrage
