WOMAN SUFFRAGE GAINS

1t is extremely likely that women
in all the states of the Union will
vote for president of the United
States in 1920. Congress is working
upon a constitutional amendment to
bring about this result. There is but
little doubt about its being passed by
both branches, and within a few days
This amendment must be ratified by
three-fourths of the state legislatures,
which means that special sessions of
the legislature will be called in sew
eral states during the next twelve
months primarily for this purpose.
The outlook is bright for the requisite
three-fourths being obtained within
the year. It will be a distinctly Rep
ublican measure, as the majority in
each house of Congress is Republican
Last Congress, with q Democratic
Senate, turned down the measure, not.
withstanding President Wilson's urg-
ent appeals for its passage. Presi-
dent Wilson could see ahead the in
evitable part woman suffrage is going
to play in politics, and he was anxious
that the Democratic party should be
given the credit for bringing about the
right to vote by women. But the
southern Democrats were obstinate,
and the psychological moment passed.
The Republicans will give the women
the coveted privilege of voting, and
in return will expect the gratitude of
the women to be such sto reward
the Republican party with a heavy
vote for its candidate for president
in 1920.
A Republican president for the next
term seems assured
