Senator Gay Gives Plan for
Suffrage at This
Session
(Tipes-Pi Picayune)

Washington, Feb. 19.-Parliamenta-
ry preparations are being made which
may allow the passage of suffrage
amendment at this session of Con-
gress. Senator Gay today followed
the suggestion of Harry P. Cramble
of New Orleans and introduced an
amendment to the Susan B. Anthony
amendment which provides that "the
several states shall havethe exclus-
i've right to enact appropriate legis.
lation to enforce the provisions of
this article" Under these conditions,
Senator Gay is perfectly willing to
vote for an amendment which will
endow women with the right of fran
chise. Several other Southern sena-
tors, who voted against the Susan B.
Anthony amendment, declared today
that they would vote for suffrage un-
der these conditions. Senator John
Sharp Williams, who is one of the
prominent opponents of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment, told Senator
Gay today that he will support the
Gay amendment. Mrs. Lydia w.
Holmes has wired Senator Gay that
she favors such an amendment.
