Washington, Feb. 1I.-For the fourth
the United States Senate today de-
teated the resolution to submit aswom-
an suffrage constitutional amendment
to the states.
The vote proved a bitter disappoint-
ment to s~uffragists who had counted
on President Wilson and other demo
cratic leaders to swing southern demo-
Gratis in line.
Not n of those on whom the suf-
fragists pinned their hopes voted for
suffrage.
Today's vote was SIS for suffrage, and
20 against it. But as the ayes did not
have two-thirds Of the vote cast they
were defeated. The vote last October
was 63 for suffrage to 81 against it.

Today's defeat practically means tina
nationwide enfranchisement of women
must wait for a long time. 1t will be
impossible to get another vote this
session sven were there any chance OF
converting the south which thus has
again blocked suffrage.
Will Renew Fight.
Next session the resolution will have
to be put through the House AGAR
n this may prove rather difficult ir
spite Of republican control, because
of the many new members.
However, suffrage leaders said i'm.
mediately after the vote they will pre-.
pare to renew their campaign at the
extra session. They also are deter
mined. they declared, to make the dem.
%ocratic party accept full r%esponsibilit
for today's defeat.
Members of the suffrage
party bitterly condemned the Wash.
ington militants of the nationa
woman's party today blaming theil
tactics in this city for refusal of som,
democrats to change their votes.
The burning of President Wilson:
speeches in front of the White Hous.
and picketing. which had several time:
caused rioting, was held by regular
suffrage leaders to have created a dis.
tinctly unfavorable impression in con.

militants are curbed.
