Des Moines, June 6-That Iowa

ment to the constitution at a special
session of the legislature next winter
seems assured.
There is a possibility that the code
commission now at work on code re-
vision may not finish it's work in time

on revision next winter. Governor
Harding however stated officially yes
terday that he would call "A special
session to consider woman suffrage in
case the code commission was not
ready to report.
While the attitude of the Thirty
eighth general assembly was a disap-
pointment to woman suffrage workers
in Iowa nevertheless there rs little or
no question but that when it comes to
a question OF national suffrage for
women it will receive hearty support.
In fact the house was strongly for
suffrage an thru the last legislative
session but the senate was against II.
The opposition of the senate to suf-
frage was particularly shown in the
defeat of the measure which would
have permitted women to vote at the
primary elections. This measure was
introduced in the senate by Senator
Holdoegel of Calhoun, county and in
the house by Representative Weaver

DIRTY Politics" in Senate.

The defeat of this primary bill was
looked upon and generally referred to
as dirty politics" on the part of po-
litical leaders aspiring to high posi-
tions who We're afraid Of the vote
which women might east.
However, in order to sort of square
themselves the senators opposing pri-
many suffrage championed constitu-
tional suffrage by state amendment
and for the third time in the past eight
years the legislature voted to grant
constitutional suffrage thru amend
ment of~the state constitution. This
must be passed on by the next legisla-
ture. the Thirty-nlnth. and then voted
on favorably by the people before it
can become law. The special session
tional amendment since it is the same
body which first voted on it.
Another suffrage measure which the
house passed promptly but which the
senate endeavored to head off but fin
ally passed was the Schaffter bill Civ
ing women the right to vote for presi-
dent, vice president or presidential
electors. AS matter of fact after Sc
curing the passage of this measure in
a number of democratic states the wo-
men suffrage workers had the repub-
lican states over a barrel and the DEM
ocratfc states also for that matter. Be-
cause if one state denied to it's women
the right to vote for president and vice
president of the United States while
other states were granting the privi-
lege, it would be denying itself con-
siderable voice in the election of a
president and perhaps contributing de-
fault to the election of some candidate
the state might favor.
However, when it comes to ques-
ton Of national suffrage it is recogni-
zed that the opponents among the
members of the, Thirty-e eighth General
Assembly would be few and it is gem
orally recognized the act Of congress
would be ratified by big vote.
Iowa stands good chance of being
one of the first thirty-six states to
ratify the congressional act with the
special session Of the legislature as
sured. According to the dispatches
from Washington however suffragists
all thru the country will urge special
sessions of their legislatures to act in
time to permit the women to vote at
the next general election. The fear is
expressed that sufficient number of
southern legislatures may refuse to
ratify because Of the colored vote to
defeat the ratification.
