Monday. Whether the amendment will
come to a vote on Monday or not is
doubtful. Lacking the miracle from
the White House, suffrage is doomed
IN this Congress. In that case either
of two methods of procedure are open.
Either the sufragists viii allow the
bill to come tc vote and be defeated
in order that every Senator may be
put on record, and go before the coun~
try IN the coming elections with his
stand on suffrage to be condemned or
approved. or they viii refer it back
to committee again. In case the bill
Is defeated. suiflagists maintain that
motion to reconsider would be in
order and the bill could be brought
up again in the short session Of Con-
gress. In case it does not pass this
Congress, it must be passed again by
the House of Representatives, before
it can be considered by the Senate
again
The elections in November will make
changes in the four states where Sen
ator5 at present hold their seats by
appointment-New Jersey New Hamp-
shire, Kentucky and South Carolina.
1t is possible that sutfragists might be
returned from two of these states, who
would give the bill the necessary sixty

about.
