One Necessary Vote to
Swing Amendment.

Suffragists are planning nation
wide drive for the next two months 10
push the Anthony amendment through
the Senate. Their latest poll shows
only one additional vote Is needed to
carry IL
Efforts will be concentrated on the
legislatures Of forty-one States which
will be in session within the next
two weeks and the National Woman's
party hopes to have resolutions from
every one Of these endorsing equal
suffrage and demanding that the SEN
ate act favorably on the proposition
Such a campaign, its leaders hope
would arouse sufficient public senti-
ment to put over the needed strength
in the Upper House of Congress.
States in which the campaigns will
be pushed most hotly are those in
which the Senators have opposed suf-
frage. though suffrage leaders believe
the sentiment OF their States is IA
vurabie On this basis Senator Borah
will be a special target. Idaho Is a
stlffrage State and the women there
are Indignant that their representa-
tive should be one to block national
suffrage.

the women's power to arouse public
opinion In his home districts. A ma
Jority~ of the members Of the legisla-
tIIrs OF New Hampshire have signed a
suffrage petition and are expected to

ing the Senator to vote for the

necticut, Delaware. New Jersey, New

in twenty-six other legislatures, with
the hope that the national appeal may

also to arouse public sentiment so
that II the amendment should go
through the Senate it could be hur-
ried through the legislatures of the
necessary three-fourths of the States
