WOMAN SUFFRAGE BY STATES
Vermont Classed M One Of the PrOmis-
ing States to Help Garry the Ma
tiOnal Suffrage Amendment.
(F'rom the Detroit Free Press.

Nr TOHl the OetrOlt free JTeSs,l
If it is possible to deduce from the vote
in the House Of Representatives O. meas
ure Of opinion by States on the question
OF woman suffrage, the supporters Of
that principle may gather from an en-
haustive analysis OF the division on the.
Congressional resolution an idea Of the
work ahead Of them in the latter stages
of their campaign. Ultimate adoption
of the principle according 20 our
processes Of constitutional amending de-
ponds. OF course. on action by the State
Legislatures, and the grouping of State
delegations in the lower House of Con-
gress may be a straw indicating the
probable leaning of their respective con-
stituencies.
Summarizing the analysis now pre-
pared, we find that the States stood in
the House 80 affirmative, u negative and
four evenly divided.
AS 1t will require affirmative action by
three-fOurths Of the Legislatures to
assure the adoption Of the amendment
in case the Senate votes favorably, the
number Of States necessary to pass it
will be SO. Four more must join the
affirmative ranks than were on that side
in the House test.
These four States must be found
among either the States which were OPP
posed to the resolution in the Washing
ton vote or the States whose vote was
divided in that State.
The opposing States are mostly those
of the South. being Alabama, Delaware.
Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland. Massa-
| chusetts. Mississippi. North Carolina.
Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and Vir-
ginia. The divided States are Florida,
New Jersey, Tennessee and Vermont. In
this latter group the delegations stood
| one-half for the affirmative in each case.
the other half Of the representatives be-
ing either in the negative or not voting.
Two of the divided States, New Jersey
and Vermont, would seem to present
promising ground for the equal suffrage
| workers. and two Of those on the negative
side in Congress. Massachusetts, and
Ohio, would naturally be open to persua-
! sion. All four are in the North. where
| sentiment is generally more propitious
than in the South. II the entire align
ment in the Washington vote for the
affirmative can be held and these -four
! States can be added the necessary total
| of So would be reached. But 1t will bt
we'll to watch one of the States on the
| affirmative side in Congress. Arkansas
voted solidly yes this time; it voted
solidly no on the same question three
years ago; it naturally inclines to &c
