an Suffrage association, said to- night:
 Tt is an incomparable victory which tremendously gratifies though it does not surprise us We have felt all along that the House could be re- lied on to vindicate itself as the for ward looking exponent of democratic progress which America has the right to expect it's great law making body to be. Not for a minute did we con cede that the American Congress would lag behind the parliaments of Europe in the making of democratic history. We turn now to the Senate with complete confidence that our measure will be passed by that body within a very short time. From the Senate we shall start upon our cam paiGn of notifications, hoping that ev- cry state in the union will ratify and Knowing that 36 will.

It is not now a question of victory or defeat. but of how quick ly we can secure the submission of the amendment to the states and be- gin our campaign for ratification. With the official support of eNery po- litical party we believe that ratifica tion will not require more than two years"
 Mrs. James w. Wadsworth, Jr., pres ident of the National Association Op. posed to Woman Suffrage, issued this statement:
 I've thank the men who stood by the principle of local self government against the policy of surrender to suffrage threats and we are proud that there are still some American men who vote according to their con- victions and not according to com mand. ~ we consider the result very close hrNt, h t<, bear on the members.
