GEORGIA SENATE
REJECTS SUFFRAGE
BY 80 TO 10 VOTE

BY vote of 80 to 10 the senate
on Thursday morning refused to
ratify the Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton. This action marks the final dis
position of the question of ratifca-
ton at this session as far as the
upper house is concerned. The rec
ord vote came at the end of a pro-
longed debate on the proposition In
which both friends and opponents of
suffrage participated. The discus
sion covered a period of almost a
week, during which time the consid-
Grafton of many highly important
legislative matters has been delayed.
The record vote in the senate came
on the committee substitute to the
original resolution as listed. The
original resolution was introduced by
Senator Baker, OF the Forty-sexenth,
for the avowed purpose of securing
it's defeat. A parliamentary tangle
resulted when this resolution was re-
ported on the floor Of the senate and
the resolution was recommitted to
the committee on constitutional
amendments.
