President Marshall (acting for the
Presidency June s.
The adoption of the amendment
in June was something of a misfor-
tune for the suffragists, for 1t came
shortly after most of the state legis-
latures had adjourned their biennial
sessions. and rendered 1t necessary
for such states to call special sessions
in order to ratify the amendment In
time to give women the vote by 1920.
Such legislatures as were in session
acted upon the almost i'm
mediately. OF those which have since
met, or which called special ratiica-
ton sessions, only two, Georgia and
Alabama, have refused to endorse the
amendment.
Those which have already ratified
are:
Wisconsin, ratified June 10.
Michigan, ratified June 10.
Illinois, ratified June 10.
Kansas, ratified June 16.
Ohio, ratified June 16.
New York, ratified June 10.
Pennsylvania, ratified Juno "a.
Massachusetts,, ratified June 25.
Texas, ratified June 28.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-09-15

Iowa, ratified July q.
Montana, ratified July 80.
Arkansas, ratified July %.
Missouri, ratified July 8,
Nebraska, August 1.
Total, fourteen states.
Nine states "a called special
sessions of the legislature to act or
the amendment this autumn or win
ter.
Probably the next states to ratify
will be Minnesota and New Hamp-
shire, since Minnesota began her spe-
cial session September 8, and New
Hampshire on the following day,
Suffrag ists claim Minnesota as sure
and admit New Hampshire may be
doubtful with strong 'anti" oppo-
sition.
The other special sessions called,
but with no date set, r for Wyo-
ming, Colorado, South Dakota, Utah,
Arizona, California and Washington.
Five governors nay call special
sessions to vote on other measures
of public interest, and thus give an
opportunity for a vote on the suf-
frage amendment as we'll. These
states are Louisiana, New Jersey,
Maine, North Carolina and Virginia.
