The vote yesterday was
the fifth time the Senate
has balloted on the ques-

forty-one years ago by
Senator Sargent, of Cali
fornia.
The first vote. which
came in 1887, was 10 yeas

amendment had gained a
majority of one, but still
lacked eleven votes of the
necessary two-thirds; IN 1918
it failed by two votes, and
last February by one.
Susan B. Anthony led the
suffrage fight during the
civil war period, and in 1872
cast a vote to test women's
rights. She was arrested
and fined. but. refusing to
pay it, was never jailed.
She then was certain a
