Status Of the Suffrage
Bill In Congress

Today the federal suffrage amend
ment is in a position of crucial
moment in both houses Of Congress.
After months of the m%addening delay
incident to being smothered in COM
mittee, tho House Judiciary Commit
tee finally reported the bill. without
recommendation. This cleared the
way for the Rules Committee to secure
a place for it on the Houses calendar
of business. In the Senate the bill
has been favorably reported from the
suffrage committee and Is already on
the Senate's calendar of business
awaiting action. Action means going
to vote. By the time this Is read
1t will be known, in all probability,
whether the Gath Congress. by voting
aye on the measure, is to be the body
that will go down In history as the
instrument Of the Acknowledgement OF
women, or whether 1t elects to pass
on that high privilege to Its successor.

Prefers Action Through Congress
To State Referenda
Mrs. Gait Points Out That Franchise Has Come to Women OF
Most Countries Through Parliamentary BestowaI. na

suffrage question, and economy OF
procedure make a strong fortiication
for Mrs. Cats argument Her sum.
mary is as follows:
(1) Suffrage for men and suffrage
for women in other lands, with few
and minor exceptions. has been grant
ed by parliamentary act and not by
r%eferenda. Practically the same
method is provided by our Federal
Constitution. To deny it's benefits
to the women of this country is to
put upon them a penalty for being
Americans.
(2) Congress determines condi-
lions of citizenship and state con
situations fix qualifications Of vot-
ers. In no instance has the foreign
immigrant been forced to plead with
a vast electorate for his vote. To
deny American women as easy a pro-
cess of securing their vote as has
been granted to men Is a discrimina-
ton so fragrant and intolerable that
no fair-minded man should be a party
to it.
90 The Constitutions of many
states have provided for amendment
by such difficult processes that they
either have never been amended or
have not been amended when the sub
ject is in the least controversial.
Woman suffrage is caught in the coils
of constitutional technicalities. Not
to be willing to release it and give
it a fair chance before the country
is un-American.
(4) The election laws of all states
make inadequate provision for safe
guarding the vote on constitutional
amendments. Since election laws do not
protect suffrage ~referenda, suffragists
demand the right prescribed by our
national constitution to appeal their
case from male voters to the higher
court of Congress and the legislatures.
co Woman suffrage is regarded
by every other country as a national
question. Politicians may prefer to
hide behind the arras of a secret bal.
lot. in a referendum which relieves
them of responsibility, but the women
of the land who are se~lf-respecting
enough to want a vote ask a square
deal' by national action.

HISTORY OF THE
"AMENDMENT"

There have been federal
amendments before and there
will be federal amendments to
come, but to the suffragists of
America there is one federal
amendment that has been stand
ing out with a crown on it's brow
for some forty years.
1t a in the 70's that Susan
B. Anthony evolved the fed
eral suffrage amendment. 1t
would take from the States the
right to deny the franchise to
any citizen of the United States
on account of sex, and that
amendment stands today in
House and Senate awaiting ac-
ton.
Since the year 1882 it has
been reported from the Senate
committee every year with a
favorable majority, except in
1890 and 1896. Twice it has
gone to vote in the Senate. The
first time was on January rs,
1887, resulting in 16 yeas and
35 nays, with 26 absent, four of
whom were committed to suf-
frage, giving a total suffrage
strength of 20. The second time
was on March 10, 1914, when
there we're 35 yeas and "a nays.
In the House it has been re-
ported from committee seven
times, twice by a favorable ma
jority, three times by an ad-
verse majority, and twice with
out Recommendation. The last
time was on December IA, 1916,
without recommendation. The
House, in the position of he
reditary enemy of nationwide
suffrage, has never let the meas
ure come to vote until in 1915,

AIIllldClOn WIFI LIE NdJlOudl.
Dating from the first group called'
Ia convention in 184S to discuss
woman's rights, the national associa-
sion, under various names and with
ever-expanding ambition and inten-

OF organized work for N suffrage,

dignity of method. Every year for
the eighteen years between 184S' and
1855 woman's rights conventions held
the women Of the country together.
In 1866 the American Equal Rights
Association was formed and the
woman's Fighters merged into it. That
was the first national effort to secure
recognition of the fact that the SUI
frage question reyerts back to the
United States constitution. By 1859
1t had become apparent that woman
suffrage needed its own special Or
g~anization, and under the initiative
of Susan B. Anthony the National
Woman Suffrage Association was
formed. Next year another national
suffrage organization was effected

Federal and State Roads to Suffrage.

Congressional work which is being carried on by the National

that it has been found necessary to divide it into four sections with
a division chief for each. Most picturesque of these sections is the

preference for working in the wide open. Again, 1t is known as
