federal amendment with big parade.
The Banner
The women. wearing yellow, purple and
white ribbons, stood three on either side
of the gates, over each Of which was held
a banner inscribed. Mr.. President, what
will YOU do for woman suffrage?''
White House officials and the city po-

was said that as long as the women ere
Htcd no disorder no official attention
would be paid to them
