thOny amendment for national en-
tranchisement of women.
But for the promise of Speaker
Clark to cast his vote from the chair
for the resolution if it was needed,
the change of a single vote to the
opposition would have meant defeat.
Republican Leader Mann, who came
from a Baltimore hospital where he
has been under treatment ever
since Congress convened, and Repre-
sentative Sims of Tennessee, just
out of a sick bed and hardly able to
walk to his seat, brought the vote
which settled the issue.
